Pros:

È davvero una bella struttura, situata in mezzo a colline coperte da piantagioni di thé ed alberi di eucalipto.
Otto camere, ciascuna occupante metà di una casetta, più un'unità centrale per ristorante e living, il tutto immerso nel verde, con una piccola cascata che si vede bene dalla terrazza principale e che si può raggiungere in pochi passi. È davvero rilassante e rigenerante prendere un thé o un aperitivo immersi nella natura (nota: la struttura non serve alcool, ma potete portare la vostra bevanda e berla senza problemi, seduti in pieno verde sulla terrazza).
Le camere-bungalow sono comode, ben arredate ed equipaggiate (thé-caffè, acqua calda, wifi veloce, borsa dell'acqua calda per la notte...).
La colazione è servita al tavolo, abbondante e saporita. Pranzo e cena si ordinano in anticipo, così da evitare attese.
Il personale è gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Il ristorante è secondo noi uno dei punti problematici, nonché la ragione principale per la quale abbiamo dato il voto 7. Durante il nostro soggiorno (3 notti), abbiamo consumato tutti i pasti presso la struttura (con 2 pranzi al sacco): che si tratti di colazione, pranzo o cena, molti dei piatti del menù non sono disponibili, e per altri lo stock è terminato senza riapprovigionamento - cosa strana se si considera che le ultime 2 sere, la maggior parte delle stanze erano occupate. Ad esempio, il secondo giorno non c'era più frutta a colazione, né chapati per il pranzo; una delle sere era disponibile solo il pollo, l'ultima sera era finita l'acqua frizzante... Conviene quindi chiedere cosa sia disponibile ed accontentarsi.
Inoltre, le quantità sono un po' ridotte se si ha un appetito normale, a fronte del prezzo.
Nelle stanze, la porta del bagno è saloon-style, il che offre poca privacy in certe occasioni...
Ma per il resto, come detto sopra, tutto perfetto.

AMBIANCE/NATURE 10/10
Pros:

Ambiance is excellent/refreshing
Rooms clean and spacious
Water plenty
Nature itself places this paradise at a good advantage for relaxation

Cons:

ACCESSIBILITY
There 2 roads leading to this location via google maps and the 1 it recommends in the end is a dangerous downhill away from The tarmac i had to call the hotel to get a sense of the location but all lead there. Better to go with the 1st option .

BREAKFAST IS LIMITED
I advise the hotel to note every room that has reported for breakfast we missed some options offered for breakfast yet we were still EARLY within the stipulated time. i talked to the person in charge and they were understanding enough to prepare the options we missed.. Thank you for that.

MENU PRICES
The meals are a-bit pricey either consider the price or the portion of food being offered.

Very nice . Apart from the cockroaches.
Pros:

It has this cool vibe with the sound of the waterfall, comfortable restaurant seats, good food and nice cabins to stay at. The staff are very friendly and helpful. To add on that the location around is calm and it’s so quiet at night. Would recommend to anyone who likes his/her peace and quiet at night.

Cons:

There’s a lot of cockroaches in the room. If they work on that then it’ll be perfect

It is an amazing beautiful place.
Pros:

Okay, listen up! If your dream vacation involves swapping city noise for bird songs and totally unplugging, you've found the spot.
This place is like a luxury treehouse for adults. It's so quiet and tucked away that you and nature basically become best friends. Everything is ridiculously clean and stylish, and the staff? They're the real MVPs—so warm and attentive, they make you feel like royalty.
Seriously, if you need to recharge and just breathe, this is it. Stop looking and just book it

Cons:

The internet at times is slow, and they can do more trees / land scaping towards the waterfalls to compliment nature.

A True Paradise
Pros:

The location is a beautiful, green getaway in nature with a herbal garden, waterfall & river. Exceptional hospitality & warmth from the team. Spacious rooms & well kept grounds. Fresh food from the local farm! It was very peaceful at night. We enjoyed hiking the team farm. I loved it! I will be back. Thank you team Paradise :)
