A cosy grouping of three large elevated decks for families, friends and small groups, sleeping eight adults in four tent suites beside the stream beneath a looming cliff. Two of the decks have plunge pools and each holds two luxury suites connected by an interleading door; every suite has an extra-length king bed with electric blanket and mosquito net, a desk, an en-suite shower, basin and enclosed toilet, and its own balcony. The communal deck is a spacious dining room, lounge and self-catering kitchen with two day-beds, a long L-shaped couch and its own enclosed toilet, shower and basin. Teenagers often take the day beds and couch, or pitch their own tents by the stream. Up to six additional children can be accommodated on camping stretchers.
