Canvas and Orchids Retreat

This place is bliss, like coming to a little oasis of peace, nature and tranquility. The resort is small with most tents floating and those are the ones to stay in if you can with direct access to the lake which is ideal for swimming and kayaking. You can use a kayak or paddle board and circumnavigate the tiny island. The staff are exceptional and each night will ask if you want to do an activity. These range, we went to the waterfalls, cycled and trekked. All are well organised and good value as they include drinks and usually food. The cycling was quite challenging and there isn’t much wildlife to see now, but the experience was great. Other than that we simply read and swam and truly relaxed. Food is incredible with either a 4 course set menu or al la carte with dishes averaging $10 cocktails great and good wine selection. I can’t recommend it highly enough if you love tranquility and being in nature. Try to stay a few days as getting to and from is quite difficult.
