Small upmarket resort that exceeds all expectations. Small so that it has very personal service. I had a cottage overlooking the Tawa reservoir, a large body of water which backs onto the tiger reserve. The cottage is large with a beautiful picture window looking over to the water & bush. There was a king size bed & the cottage is air-conditioned (although rather loud) plus a ceiling fan. There is seperate wifi in each cottage, a bit slow but adequate. There is a big on-suite with a walk in shower. The cottage had a roof top deck & a deck on the ground floor. There are only 8 cottages, two upmarket ten accommodation, plus 4 suites. There is a seperate building for dining. All my meals were included. All the food was delicious although too much. If you don’t want Indian food the chef will arrange a western meal. Safaris, both jeep & water, can be taken from here into the tiger reserve and well worth doing. The retreat also has a large swimming room. And it does get pretty hot during the day. Unfortunately during my stay there was a large noisy Indian family staying who were rude to the staff & other guests which spoilt it just a bit. ***agement did their best to sort it out. The staff are superb & go out of their way to be helpful and friendly & get to know your likes & dislikes. You need at least two nights here, preferably more, to enjoy this very special place.
