Our house manager, Margaret, is sure to take very good care of you, providing any help or information on activities and local services. \*Monkey info: Please do not leave any personal items outdoors, as the monkeys are very cheeky, and will enjoy throwing their own party if left to their own devices. Close the doors when not inside, and please do not encourage their naughtiest by feeding them. \*\*Due to construction of a house next door, Tulua is offering a discount to our guests.
