The other seven family bedrooms are furnished with four three quarter beds, of which two beds are fitted on a loft, ideal for kids between 6 and 12 years of age, only. All beds are of extra length and the inviting bohemian looking rooms are rounded off with mosquito protecting nets.

Special occasions can be booked at the Boma.
