"For our travels in New Zealand, we were so excited to book this glamping experience for two nights, and we came prepared and ready for our adventure (light packing for the stay, BBQ food and an SUV to handle the poor conditions of the access road) and fit enough for the climb up to the glamp, having climbed some significant mountains in recent years. However, and compared to other glamps throughout New Zealand, we were a bit underwhelmed .... and some love, investment and attention to detail are required to make this as successful as others. It was though a unique experience, and many funny and not so funny memories were created! The tent is beautifully positioned overlooking the bay / lake - and truly quiet and private. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well in general (albeit - a bit nervous in the windy conditions we experienced during our first night). The shower worked well for us, but the toilet less so (despite being well used to outdoor toilets)."

A detailed list of reflections has been sent separately to the owner but in essence: - Access / climb is definitely not easy - some 250m and 75m elevation gain....! There are 3 stages to the climb ... The soil of path has become so worn, exposing the more slippy surface underneath. We fell twice going down, and we would suggest hiking boots. Perhaps some stairs to be built? - Kitchen / BBQ area - totally unsuitable other than in glorious sunshine, wind & rain free conditions. We arrived in gale force wind - and due to the exposed nature of the bbq, nearly impossible to use ..... In addition, there are no working surfaces for the BBQ, and all cooking/crockery/utensils kept inside. Perhaps invest in a dedicated kitchen area that is sheltered? All other similar venues have this ..... - Inside eating - the only table / bench is outside (in a stunning position) but again, only suitable in great weather. Due to the extreme weather we experienced, we had to retreat inside and there were no table / chairs inside - and actually not much seating at all ..... Perhaps a foldable table and chairs? - Cleanliness - the flooring of the tent definitely needed a proper clean and also all the cutlery / crockery. We would also recommend a more personalised approach, and perhaps some breakfast provisions. These touches definitely made a difference to the experience of the other glamps / similar unique venues.

"the slecuded. quiet peaceful grounds, the air circulation of sleeping in the tent, air flow thru mesh mosquito mesh, out side enclosed bathroom facilities,the yoga barn and good selection of books to to read in comfy arm chairs very nice plunger coffee with plunger ,over all a very pleasant 5 nights spent at this echo retreat"

maybe fresh seasonal fruit platter for breakfast as some photos show on their website, but, the muesli and little fruit, apple juice and coconut milk was very adequate

"It is situated not so far from the Kolsai lake, the position is suitable for parking as well."

We ordered urta - the kazakh national house for living but the temperature was + 11 degrees above zero only, for south people it’s too cold for summer, thus we asked the administrator to change the place of living , she agreed but the room was only for two people not for four and the prices were different, urta costs 38.000 tg, the room- 25000, and administrator didn’t return the difference.

"Super fint telt med masser af plads til tre personer. Dejlig morgenmad, som blev leveret ved teltet. Teltene lå i pæn afstand, så man havde lidt privatliv. Sødt og hjælpsomt personale."

Stedet ligger i et område, hvor der ikke er så meget i nærheden.

"Staff was amazing. Rachel went above and beyond any call of duty to have us met from a late bus, organised a park trip and had us dropped in morrogoro. Nesto made sure we were safe in the campground. Breakfast was great, more like brunch.Highly recommend the camping but for the bravehearted...loved sitting around the campfire in the early hours of the morning, listening to the sound of silence and occasionalanimal call, watching the moon sail across the sky from the net window of the tent... the sister hotel nearby has lovely rooms, at a very reasonable rate."

Nothing....Loved the idea of camping in the wilderness

"It was cosy , clean and had all the requirements we needed , great bed nice warm cosy cabin .Great trips Nikol and James excellent northern light and husky walk the morning / definitely recommend super friendly guys and we got to see the lights."

Nothing much , staff that worked in the office could have been friendlier, like greet and show a interest when you come for breakfast, but not much more to mention . Great stay

"There is nothing quite like this amazing experience. Completely alone in the desert in a beautifully designed, spacious tent. The setup is stylish and comfortable, and waking up to nothing but sand dunes in every direction is pretty hard to beat. Meals are driven out to you across the desert, with camels and goats wandering over to say hello, sunrise from the bed. At night, you can see a sky full of stars. It was truly magical"

Nothing

"Beautiful views from the tent, very peaceful. Loved the sunset and the sunrise. The tents are very spacious and have everything you need: towels, soap, fridge, kitchen that comes with all the bits and bobs to cook."

Entry road was very bumpy.

"Muy buena seguridad y comodidad rodeado completamente de naturaleza"

"Underbart litet hus i en vacker trädgård. Utsikt över bergen. Kan varmt rekommendera detta boende. Viktigt att ta med mat och vatten."

Inget

"Amazing, unbelievable, untouched nature. If you like camping, search no more! Great value for the price, comfy tents and great food. Also, you have free equipment to explore the lake..."

Road to the camp is not in the best conditions.

"Great set up, breakfast, it poured with rain one night and the tent was dry as a bone. Dog loved it. Didn’t use the swimming pool but looked good for families. Good showers and communal cooking facilities."

Aucun.

"It’s was perfect for me. The full experience from booking process, finding the location, meeting with the people responsible for the place. Great kitchen and accommodations. Super confy. Very quite with an amazing view. You can see the stars reflections on the lake. Fish made by Vincent was mmmm. Delicious. What else, Oh!! Learning more about the lake and people living around was an amazing experience. The place was built with love and harmony with the nature around. If you need a place to recharge- I highly recommend this one."

Staying only 1 night ((

"Our stay was amazing! The staff was super nice, they organized a transfer from Lompoul sur Mer to the location, they came with us to the beach and played football together with mbalax, then they came with us to the nearby desert and helped us organize a cab to Dakar airport. The food was also really good. Overall it has been an excellent stay!"

"Close to store , restaurants and sea. Even pizza on site run by the excellent hostess , Natalie."

Had a bit of unfinished look about the premises though the geodesic domes were great.

"The location, the tents, the food and the staff were excellent. A lovely rustic place to stay! Really enjoyed the night walk, the canoe ride as well as the sounds of the jungle at night. The tents were incredible apart from it being really hot and give you the true feeling of being close to nature. The staff is very prompt and attentive and we really enjoyed the local food cooked with ingredients from the neighbouring areas."

It was quite hot and the fan was available only for a few hours each day.

"A very romantic place perfect for couples who like wild retreats"

It is hard to think of something i did not like. Overall the experience was great.

"Without a doubt the most delightful and unique stay we have ever enjoyed. The proximity and the 180-degree view of the sea, the unmatched decor items, fairy lights and stellar interior planning, the very small-but-important facility and comfort details that have been considered, the quaint and romantic area around the dome, the considerate and responsive hosts all come together to make this a true gem here in Latvia. It feels like the place is kept beautiful and tidy out of genuine care for the wellbeing and pleasure of the guests. The hot tub costs extra, but a hot tub with a direct view of the sea is another rarirty here that is well worth the money. Absolutely recommended without hesitation, and I wish the hosts the endurance to keep this up, as we will 100% be looking to come back to this corner of paradise!"

To be nitpicky, the tap water seems to have high iron content, hence some water discoloration and odor. Nevertheless, there is extra drinkable water provided so this is not an issue really.
