hand-basin, composting WC, sunbathing patio and a comfortable
four-poster double bed with mosquito net covering. |

| Review:
The rural lodge has 4 double and 6 single bedrooms, beds
have treated, draping mosquito bed-nets. The area is superlative
for bird watchers taking an excursion to the avian-rich
Mandinari Flats, particularly during the rice growing
season from August to October. During the winter season
check out the Temminck's coursers that appear during clearing
of the groundnut fields. |
