“What an amazing place to stay. Truly is Zen. We had two young children with us who loved it too. Very close to other activities if you wish to venture out. And loads of amazing beaches to drive to. Overall a very cool place. And would definitely recommend jumping in the lake for a swim. Thanks for having us :)”

“Beautifully renovated cabin, immaculately clean and fitted to a high standard. Warm, cosy and plenty of hot water. Peaceful setting with far reaching views. The site felt private and all the extra buildings, including a bar were beautifully crafted. Thank you for a lovely stay.”

“Magical stay! We stayed here for a few days as a small group (a couple, our dog, and an elderly family member) to truly retreat from busy London life, and it delivered exactly what we needed and more. Zen Jungle Retreat is a peaceful, welcoming, almost magical place that really comes alive in its quietness. The estate is vast, and the hosts encouraged us to explore, which we thoroughly enjoyed during our walks with our dog. Our cabin was beautifully furnished, spotless, and equipped to the highest standards. The hosts were extremely responsive and shared some excellent recommendations. The on-site bar offered a lovely opportunity to relax and meet others, providing a perfect balance for anyone seeking a sense of community alongside solitude. Hoping to return again! ”
