    The true magic of this place comes from the people. Before you even know what you need, they’re already one step ahead, ready to help with a smile. Add to that a beautiful setting, delicious, fresh food, and clean, comfortable rooms, and you’ve got something really special. The viewpoint with breathtaking views of the water and mountains is just a 30-minute walk away. Families with children will appreciate the peacefulness at night, perfect for little ones falling asleep. If you’re visiting with friends, there’s a cozy bonfire and a bar to enjoy. In front of the guesthouse, sun loungers invite you to relax in the shade while sipping drinks from the bar. Absolutely wonderful – a place that feels like home, but better!

    During the trip in lake where some plastic bottles which is not responsibility of them. Government should work more to punish those who are throwing bottles in the lake.

    A good family is running this guesthouse. If you give them a opportunity to communicate with you, you will feel like you are taking to some that you have known for years. Rooms are clean and spacious. Food in restaurant is tasty and cheaper than others around.

    Wifi wasn’t fabulous but I think that’s likely an issue with all guesthouses in the area given how remote it is.

    Good location amongst all the guesthouses on the river. The hosts were friendly. Room was comfortable, clean and tidy.

    The walk from the boat drop off point to the accommodation was quite far to carry suitcases (couldn’t drag them due to the rocks) so I would recommend only bringing a backpack.

    Location was unique, fun to kayak around. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was nice! And the room was clean and cool as it was shaded (no AC but we didn’t need it as the fan was enough). Staying overnight was great as the day trippers leave so the whole area was quiet in the evening/morning.
