“The best place to recharge with the peacefulness that surrounds .”
Liked that there was a "mini kitchen". Location was great and I also loved the privacy and the feeling of the nature right around you with the lush garden and birds.

“Best in Wilderness”
Waterside Lodge is an amazing stay, 1 night was far to short for this beautiful setting and room. The view from our balcony was unteal and the room setting and furniture was something out of a fairytale. The bathroom had a bath and shower and toilet in a private corner and was spacious and relaxing. The host and her assistant staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and comfortable
