This pleasantly rambling building surrounded by nature is on the main road to Kaw. Accommodations are definitely on the rustic side, with shared toilets and showers, but it's good value and three meals a day are served up at the simple restaurant. Reservations are a good idea, and you'll need to arrange jungle excursions elsewhere.
