The Hobbit House is very unique in terms of architecture and location. It was a wonderful experience to be staying in the middle of a rainforest and hearing all the animals sounds. With all the openness the house provided we sure felt like we were being outside yet very much inside. We got to see all the lushness of the rainforest from anywhere in the house. Chickens and peacocks would hangout outside the house every morning. My daughter loved it! The only thing I was not expecting was the presence of Gold Day Geckos (Phelsuma) inside the house. They are small and cute green lizards but I am not a big fan of lizards in general. They were mostly minding their own business though so it was all good. Thank you, Mara, for being a great host!
