This appealing 19th-century working cattle ranch is set on 13 sq km of primary and secondary forest. The 79 rooms are spacious and comfortable with traditional wood furniture and wide, welcoming verandas. Many of the rooms have lovely views of the volcano and surrounding grounds. You’ll appreciate the welcome drink at check-in. It’s 10km from the park entrance.
Be warned that the onsite ‘adventure center’ makes this place feel a little like a vacation factory, catering largely to package tourists who descend for organized horse tours, in-house canopy tours and guided hikes in the national park.
