Accommodation
: 4 individual cottages and 4 semi-detached cottages. Made of bamboo and
thatch, the air-conditioned cottages are built on stilts above the ground.
All cottages sleep 2 and have been beautifully designed to make full use of
local materials and artifacts and blend in with the stunning natural
surroundings. All are well-appointed and charmingly furnished with
individual interiors. Each has a seating area with comfortable cane
furniture, a writing desk, mini-bar, safe, small fridge and tea & coffee
machine as well as top-quality beds and mattresses.
High above the
river is the Machan. (Machan, pronounced ma chaan, means "jungle
platform".) This has air-conditioned sitting and dining areas opening
onto a large verandah with high thatch ceiling and bamboo floor. Guests can
congregate here to swap the day's jungle stories over a drink or a delicious
meal, sink onto sofas with a book from the library, relax by the fireplace,
enjoy an al fresco breakfast on the verandah after returning from early
morning safari, watch for birds or scan the opposite bank for wild animals.
Further along the river bank a jetty will enable our guests to embark on
river trips in dugout canoes, from which they can look out for otters and
for buffalo, deer or rhino grazing on the far bank.
This River Bank
area is also perfect for the barbecues and camp fires we arrange - or as
just another idyllic spot for a sundowner while watching the vivid colours
of sunset across the river.
