We stayed for three days 18th to 20th Dec 2015. We took the express bus down from Belize City and were picked up in the town square by Suzy and Rene, who are the agents for the property owner. We stocked up with some groceries and beer from the market before setting off for the cabin in their car. The road goes up through Bullet Tree Falls where we stopped again to get hot tortillas from the roadside stand. This is rural Belize. On arrival at the cabin we were greeted by the resident kittens and Blue, the old hound. Suzy showed us around the property and how things work in the house.
In its own private estate, with extensive lawned area, dotted with many types of trees and shrubs, the place sits on a river bank fringed with tall trees, where live giant iguanas, squirrels, and many types of birds. A big flock of white Egrets come in at evening to roost in a tree opposite the house. We also were lucky enough to see a family of three otters playing on the river.
The house itself is compact and has all modern facilities. We slept downstairs though there is an upstairs room with AC which we didn't use. Very clean inside and out. We spent two pleasant evenings down on the riverside barbecue area eating chicken and ribs, rice & beans (G won the competition for the best dish!) and drinking rum and coke with Maria and Lewis and their family and friends. Maria and Lewis look after the house and are good friendly people who helped us with anything we needed during our stay, including a lift into the San Ignacio market on Saturday - a must not miss weekly event.
Overall it's a good place to relax, enjoy the natural environment and meet local people (and the mosquitos were surprisingly not as bad as we had feared).
