Of the few accommodation options near Tamga, the simple Gîte Le Cathédrale is the most central and best run. There are nine basic rooms (all of which share bathrooms), and camping (DH30) and half-board (Dh100) are also available; look for the driveway directly off the main road northwest of the Cathédrale.
