Jamevin lodge was amazing!
Excellent place for entertaining large groups! Luckily we didn't hire a bus because it won't make it up to the property, but cars will make it easily. Enjoyed seeing the local wildlife and the views are amazing. Can definitely recommend for anyone wanting a group Holliday house!

Relaxing wilderness retreat
Denis’ property is amazing. We went with a group of friends and it was one of the most relaxing holidays we have had. The house has beautiful views, lots of wildlife and beautiful walks. The nearby lagoon and shared pool were also great. Denis is also a lovely host, very accomodating and easy to communicate with.
