Localisation
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.
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.
« We use solar energy and respect our nature, for a sustainable tourism. »
The restaurant with its bar and terrace
The restaurant with its terrace is at the heart of the ranch, looking over the pool and with magnificent views towards the Isalo mountains.
Sit on the terrace with a fruit cocktail or one of our famous rums, flavoured with fruits and Malagasy spices and enjoy this comfortable place ideal for meetings and exchanges with your fellow visitors.
Built in a traditional style, the restaurant offers a choice of menus filled with creative and natural foods, a cuisine inspired by local culinary influences as well as French, Asian or Oriental.
It is with pleasure we propose our barbecue evenings, our homemade Malagasy dishes and our products fresh from the garden.
« Our team will do everything possible to make your stay welcoming and pleasant
in a warm and friendly atmosphere. »
