"Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family.

Vila Chaumières hotel is a lovely little place for a tranquil stay, just 6 rooms/bungalows, situated on the tidal lagoon where you can spend hours just watching the fish from the open-air restaurant or the jetty.
