A few things though, you can’t drive up to your hut to unload your belongings so with suitcases etc it’s abit of a hike especially when your assigned the furthest away hut. There was a split heater up on the wall but it took awhile to heat up. There is no tap on the sink for hot heater in the washroom just cold and everything is ran on solar power so our showers were cold all the time. Food was decent and friendly staff. ##### Jerin Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 1 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Customer service from the staff was outstanding.
