What's in a name. It's a cozy and relaxing getaway in the lush greenery just outside of the center of Sen Monourom. The private lodges connected by wooden walkways and some stairs, have a good quiet airco, private bathroom with hot shower and western toilet. There were good covers against insects in front of the windows. The place was very clean. A comfortable bed. A nice view to the forrest around. There is a very reasonably priced restaurant as well with local and European food. Don't expect the best quality of European food but my fish and chips was okay, even though I would more recommend a pizza or burger if you're not in for local dish. For breakfast they serve pancakes, toast and eggs.
The owner Sem is a very friendly guy with an okay level of English to communicate without hassle.

AC is not necessary in this part of the country due to the high winds. It was very cool at night. The bathroom was large, comfortable and even had hot water to the shower. The owner took us on a small tour of the orchards. The staff told us he does a lot of work for the community, but they said he’d never admit it because he is very humble. He built this retreat with the help of volunteers. There is an open air library facing the banana trees, fountains, a heart shaped pond, wooden swings, winding paths and a sunset view from the upstairs restaurant. Our curry dinners were around $2 a piece and delicious. The staff were delightful and eager to help at every turn. It is important to note that they are located about a mile out of town but tuk tuk drivers knew right where to go and the staff arranged pick-ups for us the next day. Greenhouse is a MUST...
