  AbCa's Creek Lodge Review score: 9

  “Beautiful gardens on the creek with so many lovely places to sit and relax and take in the quietness of the mangroves. The gardens are full of beautiful birds and naughty monkeys. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We went on the boat trip and bike ride to Bintang with Mussa who is lovely and friendly. Food is great - Sarah and Juliette looked after us with much love and happiness. Have a swim in the salt water creek when the tide is high.”

  “Everything. The location is exceptional, seeing the sunrise from the terrace of the cabin was one of the best experiences during my trip across the country. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and smelled like flowers and the cabin itself was super cozy. The prices of their tours are fair and Lamin, their guide, is a fantastic person, we had lots of fun during the boat trip and the walking tour. The food is fine as well and again at a good price, and they even have really good coffee for very little extra. I learned a lot in this place and would have loved to stay many more days.”

  “Located beautifully at a mangrove creek, this place has professional and friendly staff, good food and clean rooms in the middle of a beautiful garden with a lot of places to sit down, relax and read a book or enjoy nature. The offered excursions were also pretty good, you can learn a lot about the adjacent creek and forst and also have the possibility to catch a glimpse of life in the surrounding villages, accompanied by local guides with a lot of knowledge. Be prepared to meet travel groups there.”

  “The location is stunning, I had a sea view lodge and my mom had a regular lodge. Both are absolutely stunning! If you want to see the sun come up in the morning take the sea view! The food is also amazing, if you’re vegan theres options for you and the chicken is amazing! The staff is also great, kind and absolutely helpful!”

  “This was a great experience. We had a lovely wood house nestled in a garden full of palms, birds and monkeys. The whole site is situated at the edge of a creek with mangroves. There are interesting activities and excursions, and when you come back you can take a swim in the salty and warm creek water. Very recreative, we did it every day at high tide. Breakfast is o.k. (try the local bush tea!), lunch and dinner are very good. The shuttle service to the airport (1.5 hours) is easy to be arranged. But the best of all is the ramarkable staff at AbCa's. Everyone is so polite and courteous. Thank you guys for everything, we loved to have a little chit-chat with you now and then!”

  “The staff was super nice and helpful. The local food was really good. We loved the boat trip, but that was all the activities we could do as a family with 3 kids. Wish there was more. We would have stayed longer.. The property and its nature esthetics was very nice and soothing.”

  “It felt like paradise as we walked in! We loved everything, could have stayed longer. Very beautiful grounds and flowers. Excellent bedroom on stilts with unusual thatched bathroom. Monkeys and lizards. Lots of really brightly coloured birds. On a creek where you can swim, or take a boat trip, or watch fisherman, or spot kingfishers. Lovely outdoor restaurant, excellent food. Lots of quirky places to sit. Room was not only air conditioned but had a fridge and a kettle! Then you could walk outside the hotel and along the creek or through the bush on nature trails. Excellent programme of excursions. Very well organised. Friendly helpful staff.”

  “The location is amazing, on the river, and the stars were fantastic. It was brilliant being able to walk along the shores and around the village, it felt like we were in the centre of Africa. We were met at the airport and even though it was very late they cooked a lovely meal on our arrival. The birdwatching was brilliant. The food was excellent.”
