The large grounds of the Nature Lodge, are spread over 7 hectares of conserved natural landscape. Low density construction allows us to dedicate a large area to nature and wilderness. We have chosen to mainly preserve the wild native plants, trees and shrubbery, rather than plant a fancy tropical garden.
We recommend to all guests to avoid consuming wildlife meat or products. On the lodge grounds: A small herd of local cows and 4 Khmer ponies, rescued from abusive cart pulling work. The animals roam freely on the grounds and help with lawn mowing duties. We try to promote locan culture and use locally produced goods, procucts and decorative items wherever possible. Our furniture and room decorations, are hand made from recycled timber and natural materials. What's included in the package rate?
