Reviews

An amazing place, going back to basics and getting in tune with yourself. The surroundings are lovely, surrounded by nature, animals, yoga, simple food, nature walks, village tours, temple visits, there's plenty to do and the people are kind, polite, friendly and very helpful. The Ayurveda treatments offered were new to me and the benefits of them explained by the Doctors. A lovely reset and would recommend to those looking for a quiet and peaceful getaway.
