Stay at Eden on the River

La villa très grande pour le nombre qu'on était et son emplacement

Les douches extérieures même si c'est original, ça reste ouvert vers l'extérieur

It’s an amazing property, and the house is gorgeous.

The lack of communication. We asked for days about how the payment would be processed as we didn’t want to pay card as we knew there would be a massive international fee. They never answered. The booking page stated cash was ok. We withdrew cash on purpose to pay the accommodation and they decided to charge our card. We lost 80 Australian dollars in fee plus lost another 20 Australian dollars while changing back at the airport the money we had taken out to pay the house in cash. This is not ok. And they weren’t apologetic at all.

Staff were lovely!

The place has everything you need if you are not chasing luxury. It offers various activities and natural waterfall, which was surprisely warm

Absolutely stunning jungle/ river property, lush and green. The large house is very spacious. It was comfortable in the July weather. Plenty of room and beds for our family of 6. Property is off grid so some issues with hot water that were rectified. We’re told we would have daily house keeping, which didn’t happen once, but we were ok with the washing machine. If we had asked, I’m sure it would have been provided. Accessing the tours and using the river was a highlight for our family. - no fly screens, but fly netting provided over the beds. - very basic kitchen, but enough to make do. - kids a bit freaked out by the outside bathrooms (private) but there are two and they did the job.

Eden on the river is a great spot for swimming, and having accommodation here means you can take your time to explore the area and drop by the river any time to escape the heat.  The three bedroom house was spacious and quite breezy at night, making for a comfortable stay. The outdoor bathrooms are a nice touch.  The location is a long way from town so I'd recommend hiring a car, which also makes it easy to get to Eton beach and other nearby attractions. The road out is mostly in good condition (compared to elsewhere on the island) although there is some bumpy dirt road on the final stretch.

Eden on the River is generally a place which many go to on day trips. Staying there and having full access to the river was amazing with virtually no one around in the morning or afternoons (Before/after the day trippers). The river is gorgeous and excellent for swimming and exploring with the kids. The home is spacious with lovely living area looking over the lush green gardens, all the way to the sea in the distance. The home is only rated 3 stars so don't expect luxury, but it is a great wholesome home to relax and unwind. The resident dogs (Snowflake, Rosa & Whinny) will make you feel at home and are super friendly. It is located out of town so best to take supplies with you to cook for dinner etc. The onsite café is open from 9 to 4, but there is no real dinner option nearby.

The owner and the staff were very helpful and kind. The river is beautiful and the place very quiet.

The river is amazing and the staff are very kind. We couldn’t stay due to the shipping container accom feeling like a sauna, no screens to keep out mosquitoes and wasps, no lockable door, etc, and the owners kindly refunded and organised paid transport to another accommodation

The photos misrepresent the unit we had booked. The accom is in a shipping container with just a couple of pedestal fans. We heard that the larger accommodation is a big improvement
