The stunning and serene setting of the lodge, nestled in mountain valleys and surrounded by organic rice fields, which produce over 3000kg of product every year make the views from the private balconies perfect for a romantic getaway or family trip.

The local area is rich a vegetation and wildlife, meaning the restaurant can serve up a variety of delicacies that reflect the atmosphere and vibe of the property.
