A Note on Getting Here (Please Read Carefully)

Our cottage is a true woodland escape! The final 1 km road leading to the property is an unpaved, rustic kutcha road. It can be quite bumpy and is best suited for drivers with a bit of off-roading experience or vehicles with good clearance.

Don’t worry, though! If you aren’t comfortable driving it, just let us know in advance—we are happy to provide complimentary transportation assistance to get you and your luggage safely to the property.
