The Hotel - Kalaw Hill Lodge

Rooms: we stayed on the ground floor as the upstairs rooms (which probably have better views) didn't have double beds. Rooms were clean, well appointed, simple but stylish with lots of nice custom woodwork. We had some trouble with the door as it's kind of sticky - to be expected when everything is custom made of wood. Room was very spacious. Good shower with strong pressure and hot water. Nice little seating area in front of each room to socialize. Facilities: Fantastic views, great organic gardens, you can go and pick your own fruits and vegetables from the garden if that's your things. Plenty of space to walk around. Adjacent to some nice hiking trails to go up into the hills. You can feed animals at a nearby farm. Lots of space to run around. Location: a 15 minute ride from town - this lodge is not in the center of Kalaw but well worth the short trip for those who appreciate the serenity of nature. Not really 'walkable' to town so consider either renting a car, bicycle, or motorbike if you want see more of Kalaw. F&B: Solid restaurant - Asian dishes were excellent but some of the western dishes could have used improvement. Good bar and fun happy hour every evening. Breakfast good enough thought not amazing. Staff and Management: Very friendly, strong service, really helpful. Were able to arrange bookings quickly at fair prices. Bookings manager very friendly and helpful. Overall the lodge's team really pulls the experience together. Overall: highly recommend.
