Rooms
The lodge’s four tukuls - each housing up to four guests - are designed in the traditional local style with mud, stone and thatched roofs, providing very simple yet cosy and perfectly comfortable places to sleep at night.
They have beds and dry compost toilets in a separate hut, and hot water can be provided in buckets by the staff as the tukuls do not have running water or electricity. Warm blankets are supplied, as the highlands can get very cold at night.
Amenities
The restaurant at the lodge serves meals throughout the day, made from fresh, local ingredients. The restaurant has excellent views of the surrounding area, and there is barbecue on site for warmer days.
The lodge can arrange guided tours of local nature spots, villages and churches. If you're booking with us, all of this will be arranged for you.
