We went to the cave and this was close place. Rooms were nice. We arrived late and had to go to town for food that was about 12 min away. While we were there we found this great handmade baggage store.. Awesome work and nice guy. Don't remember the name but it was next to the only gas station.

The room was comfortable. However, we arrived late and had challenges finding a parking spot near the rooms. Also, the hotel is very close to farmland. I was woken up very early to cows wanting breakfast.

Good location to visit the glowworm caves. Nice log cabin style accommodation. Clean but sign's of being tired. Basic provisions although you could use the communal kitchen. Ate at the lical pun Tomo eatery which was excellent.
