Berlins Cafe and Bar
4.5/5
Beautiful place with very nice people.
When arrived, you'll pay at the bar ($12 pp) which is a great price for a beautiful location, fine facilities (hot showers!) and free wifi. The location is easy to find, and the coffee is definitely great. Also, the owner immediately points out some great places to hike. It was a great experience and if we ever drive back, we would stay here again. Just one downside: there are a lot of sandflies. Even when it's colder. Try to keep your car/van/tent closed as much as possible. But other than that: definitely recommend this place!

Maitai Valley Motor Camp
4.0/5
It was a beautiful place with lots of trees.
It's a great place for families, couples or groups because there is enough space for everyone, including the facilities. The space is also quite cheap: $10 per person with a non sustainable camper or tent. We haven't used the showers, so I can't say something about that, except that is cost $2 for 6 minutes (or a free cold shower). There is wifi available for payment as well. Just arrive before 9pm as the gates close after that. We both loved the nature of this camping spot. The hostess was really nice and helpful as well. Definitely recommend this place!
