Accommodation

There are some unusual accommodation choices here:

• Container Rooms. These are made from old shipping containers – perhaps boosting the “eco” credentials of this resort. They come in Premium, Deluxe and Standard varieties.

• Tube Hotel. For a capsule hotel-type experience, these rooms look like they are made from sections of pipe.

• Hostel. Larger groups might find the air-conditioned hostel block more cost-effective. Can hold up to 250 people.

• Villa Harmony. This is the more luxurious option for large family gatherings of up to 15 people with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The villa’s upstairs verandah overlooks the fishing pond and has its own cooking facilities and BBQ pit.

• Camping. If you want to bring your whole school or company with you, the huge camp site can accommodate up to 300 tents. Tents are available for rent.
