Our bungalows in the garden

Mirroring local habitats, our bungalows are built in the traditional style of the region. The materials used are red clay, timber-framed and with thatched roofs and we have added colourful stone blocks from a nearby quarry. Inside, the bungalows are cosy and comfortable with individual bath and sanitary facilities, hot water, mosquito nets and a private terrace.

The bungalows are located in a wooded area of two hectares. Walking through the gardens you will discover endemic plants of Madagascar and also many other tropical plants, there is also our herb garden, fruit trees and vegetable garden.

We have no access to public electricity and water. For environmental reasons we have chosen solar energy to produce our electricity and the hot water used in the ranch. So we do have electricity 24 hours a day, but it is not unlimited, because the current is stored in batteries. Nous avons donc l’électricité 24h sur 24, mais pas illimitée, car le courant est stocké dans des batteries.
For your convenience, we have installed sockets in the bungalows that will allow you to recharge low-power devices (such as mobile phones, laptops or cameras).
Thank you for your understanding; you are helping to preserve the environment.
