"The Bucket Tree Lodge was quiet and comfortable. The staff were very friendly. The bed was very comfortable. There was a bit of a problem with the shower in that it didn't have enough fall and so the floor had to be protected by towels, but the owners were working on having the shower replaced so it won't be an ongoing problem :)"
