Disclaimer:

Please be advised that our property is not a 5-star resort, but rather a forest farm house. We want our guests to have a clear understanding of what to expect before their arrival.

The lake cabin is a private accommodation, but the bathroom is not attached to the bedroom. You will need to walk out of your bedroom to use the bathroom.

As a forest property, we want to ensure that our guests are aware of the natural surroundings and what to expect during their stay. While we maintain the property and regularly conduct pest control, please keep doors shut in the evenings to avoid any unwanted visitors. While sightings of frogs, scorpions, snakes, and monitor lizards are rare, they can be sighted near the lake. In such cases, our staff is well equipped to handle the situation.

Please note that our property is located in a secluded area, and it may take some time for our staff to go and get things from the market down the hill. Therefore, we kindly request your patience and understanding. If you have any meal preferences, please inform our staff at least an hour in advance to ensure we can prepare it to your satisfaction.

We hope this information helps you prepare for your stay at our forest resort. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.
