This eclectic and artfully crafted complex sits on a bluff overlooking a peaceful Mekong eddy north of town. The sturdy wooden bungalows are set in lush tropical gardens and have balconies with idyllic sunset views. The place is in a perpetual state of expansion. To get here, turn left at the sign 4km north of the Tonlé San bridge.

The rustic on-site restaurant has organic food and excellent verandah views over the Mekong River. Free pick-up from Stung Treng is available for stays of two nights or more.
