Dirk's mother and step-father designed and built Tu Tu' Tun, which they opened in 1970. In addition to the thick towels and down bedding, fresh flowers brighten the rooms which are decorated with wood accents and include all of the amenities of a fine resort. Some rooms have fireplaces and some have outdoor soaking tubs, unjetted so they won't spoil the pleasant silence. Day-long offerings of coffee, tea, cookies and fruit are available on the terrace or just inside the building. The dining room is also located in the main building.
Guests have the option of adding meals to the price of their room rate.
I originally liked the idea of not having to decide where to eat, make reservations, then drive to the restaurant etc. A lunch basket is available for purchase for those who want to take the Lodge's delicious food along on their daily expeditions. After this sociable gathering, dinner is served in the dining room at convivial round tables, each seating eight. When everyone finally finishes feasting, the well-fed gang moves to the terrace where fire pits are lit. We didn't take the trip on this visit, but we definitely will on a future return after hearing about it from other guests.
