Owner met us on arrival and was very helpful letting us know about the property facilities. The location was great, very easy to get to local restaurants and shops, and also very handy for the Mayan attractions nearby. The cost was very reasonable. Highly recommended!

The house was a perfect size for our group of 6. It was very clean, comfortable & had everything that we needed. It had a nice view & took approx 10-15 min to walk into town. Communication with the host was excellent! We would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful farmstay in the belizean countryside. The small cottages are nicely decorated with fresh flowers. The food was excellent and the host is extremely helpful. The Mopan river runs just 2 mins walk away from the farm. Altogether it's a wonderful and peaceful location

Absolutely beautiful property just a few minutes from town. It is right in the middle of the jungle and very private. The private pool and balcony overlooking the jungle was a real bonus. Very spacious and has everything provided (bath towels, pool towels, bathroom toiletries, all kitchen gadgets, tea, coffee etc). Washing machine and dryer was very useful. Air conditioning was great. Hadas and David couldn’t do enough to help and had lots of info, they were really quick to respond to any questions and very friendly. Would highly recommend!

This is truly a place you will call home immediately. The house is built and decorated to perfection and would make an awesome fit for the Netflix series "the world's most amazing vacation rentals". The architecture combines inside and outside with an outdoor kitchen and various seating areas. Enjoy the hummingbirds, tukans and the beautiful jungle around you. You have a private riverside seating area as well with the option to swim. Two cute dogs will welcome you in the morning and when you return from a tour or dinner. Ant it comes with lots of extras: strong wifi, washing machine and dryer, super comfy towels, a hammock, many kitchen devices. The owner is friendly and quick in responding, there is the option to book tours, and Albert, the caretaker of the house, is very friendly and helpful. If you are in this region and the cabine is available, book it!
