Staying at Mt Pelier is unlike staying anywhere else. You are on the edge of a rain forest. surrounded by amazing colourful birds, with the most wonderful hosts imaginable. From your first meeting, Mark and Zena treat you like old friends; they meet you at the ariport, invite you into their living room, which becomes your living room too for the duration of your stay, and then fill you with exceptionally delicious food. And what a living room it is! It has no windows and no doors, and is open to all the animal life in the vicinity, most of which is benign and often very beautiful, such as the motmot birds who swoop down at breakfast to eat the fruit left for them on the table. Our five year old daughter had the time of her life. Terrified of even flies back home in Britain, she became blasé at the huge brown maybees landing in her hair, and waded up river with us led by Mark into the rainforest on one of our best days out.

Then there are the bedrooms, filled with wonderful pictures and carved wooden furniture, while the bathroom has a huge mosaic turtle on the floor, tiled by Mark. If you want to stay somewhere much more interesting and pleasurable than the usual impersonal hotel, and are partial to good company and exquisite food, then we cannot recommend Mt Pelier more highly.
