Guest access
You get the entire bungalow, and are free to walk anywhere on the reserve and swim in our pristine emerald pond. We want you to feel comfortable, private and safe. Guided hiking tours are recommended when going into rain forest or waterfall starting at $25 to $50 per person depending on where you want to go and how long of a hike. We can give a reduced guided hike group rate for over 5 people. On the long beautiful hike to our own private waterfall , we provide a pack lunch. Gracious horse back riding starts at $45 per person depending on how long and where you want to ride. Picnic lunches can be arranged as well as fishing in our Tilapia pond. Rubber at least mid calf boots are recommended or waterproof hiking boots. My husband, son, staff and I are close by for anything you might need and to customize your stay. All meals, guided hikes and tours are to be paid in cash.
Other things to note
1. We are at the end of a 6.5 km 4 wheel drive only road. It is best to come early in the day. We can arrange a 4 wheel drive taxi to pick you up if you do not have a 4 wheel drive vehicle in the small town of La Suiza at the bottom of our hill for $25.
2. There are three supermarkets in La Suiza and three butchers. Make sure you do your food, beverage and ice shopping before coming up the hill. You don't want
to be having to make unnecessary trips down the hill taking you away from the serenity of the reserve.
3. The bungalow is set for cooking but with a few days notice, delicious all organic meals can be prepared and served at an additional cost of $20 /$25 per person betwee 1- 6 pm.

Jungle mountain paradise
Wow, what an incredible slice of heaven. Feels like you’re a million miles away from civilization. Waking up to the sounds of the birds in the morning, dinner with Gregory (host) and sitting on the porch in the evening were highlights of the stay. It’s a commitment to get up and down the road and 4wd is essential. As such I’d recommend staying at least 2 nights w/o going down. Hosts offers horseback rides and guided hikes around the property. Might be worth checking out. Sure, the accommodations are rustic, but for us it added to the experience of it all!
