The mountain scene

First off, the whole property is set in a mountain forest. The café, cottage, and home all stand on the gentle slope of the mountain. Their rustic cabins stand proud and elegant amidst the trees within the loving embrace of nature. Just a few steps in, and you’ll already feel refreshed!

As you go along the winding pathways connecting the reception to the different parts of the premises, you’ll be surrounded by crisp fresh air. It’s all thanks to the mature trees providing shelter and a healthily abundant natural supply of oxygen. Now, that’s something you can’t get in the city.

The atmosphere is just perfect for a relaxing staycation. Just you, the trees, the birds, and the mountain view.

Highway 81 has a stunning view of the sunrise over the horizon, something you will never want to miss. Soak in the moment and enjoy it more with some suman and sikwate, specially prepared by the café.
