We also felt so lucky to have the entire place to ourselves during our stay. We spent 3 nights here. On the day we were leaving, a group of 35 people arrived-perfect timing for us!
All in all, it was a...
Read moreVery helpful and friendly host. Went out of her way to help with taxi and birthday arrangements for me and friends. Problems with aircon and shower drain got resolved. However, the place is definitely a work in progress and in need of a much needed clean, especially the pool. But the family were making the efforts to get the place ready for next season. Just focus on finishing touches (cleaning) in rooms definitely required Wonderful place to explore nature and great river to swim in. Although not much else nearby, so reliant on...
