The Plantation Cottage is a little more rustic and has two comfortable, independent rooms each with fireplace, solar lighting and attached western toilets. This secluded cottage is nestled 200 m (walking) inside the plantation so it may not be suitable for seniors or persons with walking difficulties. Please note that meals are now served in a common dinning area so guests in the plantation cottage have to walk 300m to the deluxe cottage for all meals.
