Within The House
Native Place invites you to make the most of the stunning views and enjoy the outdoors. It offers a variety of inviting hangout areas for you to lounge about in solitude, or amongst friends. Enjoy the quiet places curled up with a book, or revel in the vibrant interactive areas where you can meet interesting people. The rooms have no AC, no TV, nor phones, no room service and no newspapers.
What we offer you is the chance to take residence in this earthy guesthouse and enjoy simplicity at its best. We encourage you to step out and imbibe the natural beauty and serene atmosphere as you sample the many individual spaces we have created for you to unwind in and get comfortable with yourself in this laidback world.
Return to the attitudes of traditional communities that respected rivers, soils and nature itself.
