The stay at Donna's cottage was a fun and memorable experience! Yes, the road to the cottage is rocky and unpaved, for which a 4x4 or a jeep is recommended. Living in the forest was a new and fresh experience wherein we fell asleep to the sound of crickets and tree frogs, that sound like birds. The vegetation outside is beautiful as you drive to the cottage. The mornings were serene and peaceful! Since the cottage is in the middle of the forest, we encountered a gecko issue which we were not comfortable with, but if you find them cute, it's definitely going to be a great stay!
