We had a very relaxing stay reading books and chilling at the hammock. I loved the interior and how the houses are built on top of these poles leaving the nature below untouched. We could just walk to the river and take a swim. Simply great!

Relaxing stay after a brilliant time tubing

staff were very friendly and accommodating. we booked the tubing trip, and that was such great fun. well looked after and cared for throughout. the young men are alert to dangers and your safety . Does get a little rough and bouncy at times. I have to admit I was a bit frightened to begin with. it wasn't the lazy river tubing I was expecting however. we all thoroughly enjoyed and would definitely recommend do it again. An extra bonus is the lovely pictures the team take of you as you go along and then share at the end, for free. Lunch is also included and was delicious. Staying overnight made it a relaxing experience. the room was very comfortable. the walk down to the river is really pretty. Dinner was very tasty as was breakfast. A wonderful experience.

Fabulous stay in a treehouse and very well organzied tours

We really liked our stay in the treehouse! We had a little river flowing under our treehouse, which gave an amazing soothing effect and we slept really well. We were particularly impressed with the guides on the tubing tour - very hard working and responsible. Dont hestitate to use them!

Right on the river where you can swim, soft bed - if you like it, good hot shower. We took the tubing tour and it exceeded our expectations even though the river was on the low side - the guide was really sweat and we had a lot of fun!

Peaceful cabin in a remote location but with dinner on site by the river

Beautiful cabin in a beautiful setting with the river a 10 minute walk away. Very peaceful with lots of birds and cows near by. The room and bathroom were large and we had a balcony with a beautiful wooden bench and table. The bed was massive. The staff at the restaurant was lovely abd nade us snacks outside of the menu. Steak was excellent. We did the tubing which was excellent. I felt very safe thanks to the very enthusiastic and professional guides. They were totally brilliant. They had 5 guides in front at the back and in the middle and they ran and jumped in the water to make sure we did not get stuck and passed the rapids safely.

The seclusion but still close to the area interest points. Quite and lots of nature. The restaurant had great food. The staff and Andy were fun and friendly. Andy went out of his way to help us. Internet was strong when needed. Common sitting area was perfect.

Lovely quiet location on a treehouse

Tree house was gorgeous with a hammock and privacy. Quick walk to Rio Celeste with its beautiful water for swimming. Breakfast was lovely with different options to choose from. Could pick what time we wanted to have it and was very tasty on a beautiful setting.

Great place to chill!

This is a cool place, slightly off the beaten track but well worth the visit. We loved staying in a treehouse, chilling in hammocks and tubing down the beautiful Rio Celeste. Anyone staying here should try it, it’s great fun. A big bonus is the fact that you can eat on site. Breakfast was included in our booking and lunch was provided after the tubing. Food was very good and staff are friendly
