This local institution rests among a garden of orchids, rhododendron and avocado trees, and is a great choice for travellers on all budgets. The budget rooms are in converted Nissen huts with attached bathrooms, cold showers and bucket hot water, while the ‘motel’ rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The multicuisine restaurant offer excellent curries, tandoori, and garden BBQs.
Decades of passing cyclists and motorcyclists have contributed to the journals housed in the restaurant and make for good reading (ask at counter). Orchid and birding enthusiasts can arrange local tours here.
