The orchard and surrounding area are absolutely stunning. Our 9 year old daughter loved the animals that were around, a baby goat, several dogs, puppies (her favorite), geese, and of course assorted wildlife and lots of birds. Set in the hills of central Belize and with beauty in every direction this was a great getaway spot. There are a few restaurant options around, though we tended to cook at the house for most meals during our 5 day stay. It was about an hour and a half to get to San Ignacio and some of the Mayan ruins to the west near the Guatemalan border, and about 45 minutes east will get you to Dangriga on the coast, all via main roads that are in great condition. We had driven up from Placencia area and it took about 1.5 hours. The house has mostly new furniture and furnishings, and includes an assortment of board games and a set of his and hers mountain bikes that were brand new when we visited. We took our 4x4 rental car back to the river at the back of the property several times, loaded up with our two kids and snacks, and spent time playing in the river and lounging in the shade amongst the jungle. The house is set somewhat near the road, so occasional trucks during the day or evening woke our baby up, but otherwise this is a quiet and calm getaway spot.
