Guests can expect nice rooms, great view from rooms, big and beautiful terraces, nice breakfast and meal, hot water, beautiful scenery near forest reserve, great reception, free WIFE.
My interest is to share my Culture with other people from different parts of the world. I have a great experience hosting people from different cultural background with no complaints in the end.
The area is located at Magamba Village, on the way to Magamba nature reserve or Magamba rainforest reserve. The trail of Kwesimu is just 10 minutes hike from my property. You can only use 7 minutes drive from the center. The the centre is 2.6km only on total distance from the property.
