This elegant boutique guesthouse combines homey lodgings, a peaceful location and friendly service. A wooden bridge trails over the lobby's lily pond to tastefully styled terracotta-floor rooms with dark-wood beds, toiletries from Lemongrass House, soothing green-and-white colour schemes and, for some, private balconies. It's better value than many more-expensive Kamala options, and the owners are actively involved in local conservation work.
