This colonial, boutique guesthouse is stylish and colourful. With only a handful of cottages, converted from the spacious stables at the back of the main house, the rooms are simply and beautifully furnished. Colourful cushions and rugs add warmth and character to the cosy double bedrooms as do the wooden floors and carved decorations. The hallway has been transformed into an intimate restaurant, the Moroccan lamps at night adding colour to the white-washed walls. The owner is often found in the kitchen, producing delicious home-cooked dishes, before offering nightcaps in the “smoking lounge” with views across beautiful gardens.
These safari-tent style cottages not only look great from the outside (a mixture of sleek canvas, stone bathrooms and thatched roofs) but the dark polished wood inside, covered in colourful batik and traditional lamba fabrics softens the atmosphere. The location of the lodge itself is also a big draw with endless views of the valleys below, best enjoyed from the private terrace outside each tent. The main bar and restaurant follow the same theme, with raffia matting hanging on walls next to local paintings and the high timber-beamed ceiling helps keep things cool. If feeling brave, you should try the regions speciality rum – made with local lychees.
