1 bedroom-2 toilets-Hot shower-hammock chairs-desk & chair-porch
cool and refreshing cob
The main room of the suite proudly features all-natural walls and floor by Casa de Tierra, a sustainable building project based in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. The cob floor was mixed & molded by hand and finished with a natural clay-based paint and linseed oil. Being built 5 years ago and hosting guests throughout that while time you can see erosion of these natural plasters and finishes to get a glimpse at the layers of materials that make up the structure.
En-suite toilet
This house was built with the eco-conscious traveller in mind, but our most economical option still doesn’t lack basic comforts like ceiling fans, desk space, speakers, hammocks, books and a flush toilet. A jungle delight!
Local detail
The ceiling is insulated with bamboo; the indoor bathroom is hand-built from local wood; the separate shower room is built from woven palms. We don’t need or use air-con here. The houses have been designed to accentuate air-flow and create breezes to keep fresh in the tropics.
Comfort
The suite features a double bamboo bed handmade on-site by our team with material harvested from the surrounding farm and covered with a mosquito net
Optional eco-toilet
There is one indoor-flush toilet for those of you who like modern comforts in addition to the well-maintained compost-toilet in the palm building outside, for those who like to save water. The hot-water shower is in here.
“My wife and I absolutely loved the place. It could hardly be better: Excellent location, beautifully built (everything is thought of), the bathroom and shower are just perfect, excellent host and organization, very good breakfast in the middle of the forest, wildlife, adventure, near but not too close to the “village”.... We definitely recommend!”
