Homely and welcoming, this long-established guesthouse has been catering to budget travellers for years. It's run by the friendly owner Ann Bruce, along with Emma and her extended family, which gives the place a wonderful homestay atmosphere. There's a cosy TV lounge, kitchen for self-caterers, garden gazebo and a mix of dorms and private rooms, but only some have bathrooms.
Note wi-fi is chargeable (per day US$2), as is the cooker (US$2), and a full English breakfast costs US$5. Ann and Emma are a great source of info on the Eastern Highlands.
