Do I need a 4x4?

No. Any vehicle can make it driving carefully. Access includes about 4 km of unpaved rural road; we recommend arriving in daylight and following our official directions rather than relying only on Waze or Google Maps.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes. We have free Starlink Wi-Fi.

Is there cell signal?

There's signal in the social areas.

Bookings, payments & changes

How do I confirm my booking?

Your booking is confirmed once we receive the deposit or agreed payment through our official channels. Any balance is paid before arrival or at check-in.

Can I change my booking date?

Yes, by requesting it at least 7 calendar days in advance. Each booking allows one modification, subject to availability. If the new date has a higher rate, you pay the difference.

What if I cancel?

The deposit secures your cabin and, under normal conditions, is non-refundable. If you cancel at least 7 days in advance, we can offer rescheduling subject to availability.

Do gift vouchers expire?

Yes. Unless another term is stated, they're valid for 6 months from issue. Weekday vouchers apply only on weekdays; using them on weekends or in high season involves paying the difference.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in from 3:00 p.m. and check-out by 11:00 a.m. If bookings allow, we may offer late check-out.

Can I arrive at night?

Recommended latest arrival is 7:00 p.m. After that, entry may be restricted for safety, road conditions and logistics. If you'll arrive late, let us know in advance.

During your stay

Is the heated tub included?

Yes. Each stay includes one fill and heating. A new fill or heating carries an additional cost.

Can I bring food?

Yes. The cabins have equipped kitchens. We only ask that you dispose of waste properly and avoid dishes that produce excessive smoke or grease.

Is breakfast included?

The breakfast kit is available depending on rate or booking and is left in the cabin.

Do you allow pets?

Yes, only with prior authorization. Tell us before booking which pet you're bringing. It must remain supervised and can't get into the tub, beds or linens.

Do you allow children?

We welcome children from age 12, under the responsibility and permanent supervision of their accompanying adults. We're a natural environment with trails, water and slopes — not a children's facility.

Can I receive outside visitors?

Only with prior authorization. Day visits, photo sessions and celebrations are approved and quoted in advance.

Could there be other guests at the same time?

Yes. There are only two private ecohabs on the property, so other guests may be present, though each stay keeps its privacy.

Is there staff on site?

There's staff during certain hours of the day and a radio for immediate assistance within the property.

Is there a quiet time?

Yes, from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Music stays at a moderate volume: this is a place of rest, wildlife and neighbours.

Can I have a bonfire?

Yes, in authorized areas and accompanied by our team. It depends on the weather and the day's safety conditions.

What if it rains?

Rain, mist and the sounds of the forest are part of the experience and aren't grounds for cancellation. Bring a rain jacket, closed shoes and repellent; if the weather demands it, we reschedule outdoor activities.

Can I decorate the cabin for a surprise?

Yes, with prior authorization. Candles, fireworks, confetti, glitter and anything that damages surfaces or leaves hard-to-clean residue aren't allowed. Tell us your plan and we'll help make it happen.

Can I host an event?

Yes. We host intimate events, retreats, workshops, proposals and brand experiences by prior reservation.
