Fantastic and unique place! Absolute silence (except for the beautiful sounds of frogs and cicadas) and darkness at night with a very comfortable cottage and bed to ensure a deep and reviving sleep. Since electricity is limited go to sleep at nightfall and wake at sunrise by the sound of the many birds in the forest. Take a shower in the open bathhouse overlooking the forest and its critters and pick a papaya right of the tree for breakfast. What a way to make you feel like you are in paradise!
You are welcomed in a community of around 15-20 people that work and live on the farm or have a shortstay like yourself. The permanent residents/staff are very open and welcoming. By staying here you get a nice sneakpeek into what community living could mean. And you are welcomed to participate in the many activities and events that are organised (mostly around topics such as personal development and growht, healing, sensuality and spirituality). If you rather stay more to yourself that is also fine and there is abolutely no judgment to do so.
We recommend potential guests to read the listing thoroughly as this place is not your ordinary airbnb. We found the place one of the best we had in our 3 month trip. But it might not be for everybody. Things that might be out of your comfort zone: all-gendered showers, compost toilets, peeing outside, a clothing optional environment and quite some bugs in the nighttime (not in the cottage, this is bug-free).
The community pursues an eco-way of living; that means e.g. they purify their own rainwater for drinking, there are compost toilets for number two (and papaya trees and the great outdoors for number one) and electricity from solar panels. This means that guests are expected to practice modesty when it comes to using such amenities.
Fruits are an abundance and can be picked right of the trees! Definitely recommend to participate in the meal plan, which ensures you to healthy, fresh and tasty food during your stay.
The area is well equipped with plenty of sitting and relaxing areas, a spa area (including a hot tub and swimming pool), a yoga studio/pickleball court and strong wifi.
