The experience

Rice and curry in clay pots

Breakfast is included, and nobody leaves hungry.

The family who run the lodge cook generous, village-style meals: rice and curry in clay pots, string hoppers and fresh fruit for breakfast, and early coffee before the morning walk.

Tell us about any dietary needs when you book. Ask to watch dinner being made, and you may leave with a recipe or two.
