A hidden away little place to rest, recoup or just enjoy.
This is a little Eden tucked away on the outskirts of Awasi with a lovely garden, loads of trees and birds and three delightful little cottages in the grounds of a main house. You can cook for yourself or have some good food cooked for you and the staff are really lovely and helpful. Everything is clean, modern yet relaxed.

Ernest, the host, helped with great ideas and active support to ensure that the stay was a success. He accompanied me to Awasi and enabled me to have many additional experiences, such as visiting a farm, a church community and Awasi Market. The cottages are well equipped and have a wonderful veranda where you can always sit.
