It starts again at 10am in the morning so if you’d like to join the club 18-30 experience drinking around the pool while listening to thudding bass all day then this might be the place for you.

"The property is beautifully renovated - the wood framework and every detail, makes the house feel very homey and private. Dennis was an excellent host, very attentive- made great recommendations and a delicious breakfast. There is no a/c, but it's so windy, there's honestly no need for it. It's actually much "colder" than expected for Pedasi. On your way to the house, there is a small "river" you need to pass through, so I would recommend to take a 4x4. "
