The lake is right across the road from the residency. The house itself is neat and clean. There is also a well equipped kitchen. We were traveling in a group of six and we like to cook so it is perfect for us. The location is great. It's a pity that we didn't really have time to walk around but we did manage to take a walk along the walkway around the lake.

Feeding time in the eel enclosure was equal parts amazing and creepy! It looks like a totally empty pond until the food comes out...great entertainment for kids.

On the way to check out The falls, this was another spot off. Another maybe 10min walk from the where you park. It had started to rain and got overcast, so it was quite dark when I was there... But I had the place entirely to myself and even w/o much light it was very beautiful.
