7 / 10Good·May 2026
Very quirky accommodation in a treehouse-like loft above the reception/shop area of this eco site. Beautiful surroundings. The ablutions are separate but near enough. Lovely hot shower. Bar fridge, microwave and kettle in the room. Good value for money, you get what you pay for. It was sufficient for us though as we were out during the day and just needed a place to sleep and shower
The bed was only just adequate enough. Is probably due for a replacement.

If I would rate the restaurant, it would be a 10! Lu opened only for us that day and cooked the best butter chicken curry / pizza ever, for a more than fair price - delicious!
Also, there is a shop on the property which makes and sells white nougat and Turkish Delight (Ely Handmade). Learning about the process was interesting and the product amazing!
The personnel of the Yellowwood was very accommodating and nice.
Unfortunately, the installations and rooms were quite run-down and filthy. We had to take care not to step into dog poop and the wider surroundings of our cabin smelled nauseatingly of monkey and dog shit. We didn’t feel at comfort at all.

Wir haben als 5-köpfige Familie Weihnachten im Cob Cottage (von meiner Tochter liebevoll "Schlumpfhaus" genannt) verbracht. Das Haus ist individuell eingerichtet, sodass es in jeder Ecke etwas Interessantes zu entdecken gibt. Die Küche bietet eine Grundausstattung für Selbstversorger. Ansonsten gibt es auch leckere Steinofenpizza im Restaurant, das selbst über Weihnachten geöffnet war und wo wir im netten Austausch mit Elizabeth und ihrem Sohn waren.
Die wäldliche Umgebung ist beeindruckend und heilsam und eine Runde im "Swimming Hole" tat unglaublich gut. Auch auf dem Markt gibt es eine einladende, ruhige Stimmung mit zugewandten Verkäufern.
Die Kinder waren viel am Wasser und haben Fische und andere Tiere entdeckt. Es ist fast überall flach und daher auch für Nichtschwimmer geeignet.
Die Terrasse bietet Privatsphäre durch die Bepflanzung und ist mit vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten ausgestattet. Wir haben ein schönes Weihnachtsfeuer gemacht; Holz gibt es zu kaufen (allerdings noch feucht und daher nicht leicht anzufeuern).
Das Zimmer in der oberen Etage (dort steht das zusätzliche Einzelbett) ist sehr geräumig und man ist nah an der Natur (Geckos usw.). Die Treppe ist steil, sodass ich das Zimmer für Kleinkinder nicht empfehlen würde.
Yellowwood Forest ist mindestens einen Besuch wert! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.
Vom Milchshake im Restaurant würde ich abraten (künstlich) und echte Kaffeegenießer sollten sich ihre Bohnen lieber selbst mahlen. Die Matratzen haben die Qualität eines gehobenen Campings, also bitte nicht zu viel Komfort erwarten.
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
It was very quite forest like experience. Just what we needed to experience a little family time.
There was nothing really we didn't like except that the toilet in the dorm had a issue with flushing.
