The three Garden View rooms sit in a long stone and thatch cottage, bordering the lodge's central area. All have double or twin beds, a mosquito net and an en-suite bathroom. They used to be somewhat uninspiring, but Lesley and Elly have assured us that they are now better then before. We were unable to see any of them when we were last there as they were all occupied by guests, but we were told that they now all have white terrazzo floors, white bed linen, mosquito nets and air-con. The bathrooms have also been brightened up with the addition of a window.

Hopefully this will have all helped to make the rooms feel much lighter and more spacious – though as we have not actually seen them yet, we are unable to say for sure.

(As many of our readers will know, “terrazzo” floors were originally created by Venetian construction workers – who used set marble chips from top-end jobs into clay surfaces of patios around their own living quarters. These days it still means incorporating various chips of different stones into the finish. )
