Jan 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely! So peaceful and great base for exploring We had the BEST time!! Nice clean and modern cabins. Great setup with a seperate cabin for the kitchen and bathrooms. But all under an awning with outside lights so not like you’re having to walk down a dark path to the loo in the middle of the night. Not super close to the beach but we actually didn’t mind because of the beautiful scenic drive to the beaches. Was a really peaceful spot out in the country but not too out of the way either. Anu and Ravi were GREAT hosts, suuuper friendly and great communication. They were so so kind to us. Took us for a tour to meet the animals, and there were so many kinds of animals from fluffy bunnies to donkeys! But don’t worry if you’re scared of animals there are fences around the cabins separating you. The beds were super comfy and nice fairy lights around the place. Lots of outdoor seating/ umbrellas etc. Would love to come back again ##### Nikki D. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shruti b.
