Karibuni surpassed our expectations considerably! Expecting basic cabins, we were chuffed to discover a spacious suite in the guise of a cabin. The view from the picture window is a perfect symbol of the tranquility and beauty of the lodging. If you wish to spend your time watching movies or in Pucon town centre day after day, then this isn't the right accommodation for you. If you wish to relax in serenity, read, explore, walk and enjoy private access to the lake and utter peace, then this is very much the place for you! My Husband climbed the local volcano and was delighted to relax in our private hot tub that same evening. We were inspired by the owners who moved from Europe to set up a 3 cabin place in Chile along with organic kitchen garden. Due to the deliberate low occupancy, there is a personalised approach to serving breakfast and, if you chose it, dinner using fresh ingredients and made with love. Our best evenings in the Lake District were spent with our warm, intelligent and interesting hosts and fellow guests. Typically, we are not very sociable on holiday but joining on certain nights felt natural. This is a special place with a great story and incredible views! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0C764C6BA5BC3E8CBE8BC45DA520B5518CC3C4061576866510695.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2933DD99652E02969485B57ED27E5221F58F793F1576866519864.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34C8AA2FCCD40C497EC50ACB9CBB413F1B8236661576866558613.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Winebox Valparaiso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vina-Del-Mar-Hotels-Winebox-Valparaiso.h28762730.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Puerto Varas Pettra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Montt-Hotels-Hotel-Cumbres-Puerto-Varas.h2959469.Hotel-Information) > > [Explora en Torres del Paine](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torres-Del-Paine-Hotels-Explora-Patagonia.h4257984.Hotel-Information) > > [Primera Hacienda Hotel Boutique](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Serena-Hotels-Primera-Hacienda-Hotel-Boutique.h13357169.Hotel-Information) > > [Iorana Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hanga-Roa-Hotels-Iorana-Hotel.h4351662.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Serrano Hotel + Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torres-Del-Paine-Hotels-Rio-Serrano-Hotel-Spa.h3124339.Hotel-Information) > > [Wakakusa no Yado Maruei Ryokan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kofu-Hotels-Wakakusa-No-Yado-Maruei-Ryokan.h6136631.Hotel-Information) > > [Accra Luxury Apartments at The Lennox](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Accra-Hotels-Accra-Luxury-Apartments-At-The-Lennox.h88703533.Hotel-Information) > > [TerraViña](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Fernando-Hotels-TerraVina.h3775207.Hotel-Information) > > [Konkashken Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torres-Del-Paine-Hotels-Konkashken-Lodge.h71773639.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Takha Takha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Pedro-De-Atacama-Hotels-Hotel-Takha-Takha.h76773106.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in West Mersea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Mersea-Hotels.d3000009400.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Departamento San Alfonso del mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vina-Del-Mar-Hotels-Departamento-San-Alfonso-Del-Mar.h8344031.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Geronimo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villarrica-Hotels-Hotel-Geronimo.h16316935.Hotel-Information) > > [HOTEL EL DORADO](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Concepcion-Hotels-HOTEL-EL-DORADO.h84154323.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Casa Solaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villarrica-Hotels-Hotel-Casa-Solaria.h24943118.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Es Vedrà](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Es-Vedra-Hotels.0-l6221998-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mawün Hotel Pucón](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pucon-Hotels-Mawun-Hotel-Pucon.h76468095.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Playa Blanca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coquimbo-Hotels-Club-Playa-Blanca.h93033339.Hotel-Information) > > [Vik Chile](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Fernando-Hotels-Vik-Chile.h8726594.Hotel-Information) > > [La Casona at Matetic Vineyards](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vina-Del-Mar-Hotels-La-Casona-At-Matetic-Vineyards.h39820563.Hotel-Information) > > [Lodge Deseado](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Timaukel-Hotels-Lodge-Deseado.h57416819.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Corballis (DUB) to Mestre (VCE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/vce/dublin-to-venice) > > [Flights from Nairobi (NBO) to Lusaka (LUN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/nbo/lun/nairobi-to-lusaka) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Falconara Marittima (AOI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/aoi/london-to-ancona) > > [Flights from Manchester (MAN) to Ingenio (LPA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/man/lpa/manchester-to-las-palmas) ### Packages ---
