Description
Your hosts will be Victor & Gini Dey who are always on hand to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The main bungalow dates from the 1930s and has been restored and updated to a very comfortable standard, yet keeping the ambience of a plantation retreat. The rooms are large, and offer modern amenities.
Rooms are spacious with gorgeous wooden floors, ceilings and panelling and feature a TV, DVD, satellite receiver, mini fridge, electronic safe and a tea/coffee maker. Suites have their own private garden but for the ultimate in peace and tranquility book yourself into the Tree Villa suspended 35 ft above the coffee plantation.
Days can be spent relaxing by the pool, or wandering through the plantation learning how the coffee is produced – the advantages of having this wonderful area to yourself. Then outside of the plantation you can visit the Muthanga National Park, or the Eddakal Caves where there are some superb cave paintings dating from 3000 BC. In essence, Tranquil offers the chance to get away from it all and relax in a wonderful natural setting. Highly Recommended.
