    Great facilities, good service, excellent food and amazing value for money. We moved here on short notice when the property we had booked turned out to be a building site. Glad we did.
  • Michelle

    We stayed here for a night after a Yala Safari. We checked in early with no extra cost, the staff were very accommodating and helpful. The food from the restaurant was excellent. We loved the indoor/outdoor shower. The pool was great and the views...

    Very nice property by the lake, in nature. Very big rooms and nice swimming pool. About 30 minutes to yala park for early safari. For the price and everything, it’s excellent value for money.
