The Lodge itself is built entirely of indigenous materials with an accent on comfort.  The inherent rustic feel lends a unique atmosphere to the Lodge. Timber walkways meander through the islands forest and interlink the chalets to the Main Unit.  This unit comprises of a communal bar, dining room, lounge and open-air boma with a large viewing deck which overhangs the river .
