Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.
From the capital (Sao Tome) , you will have a beautiful , yet challenging road ahead (approximately 2,5 hours, heaviest is Porto Alegre, even for a 4x4). But it is a reason to take it. The lodge is on a beautiful and breathtaking cliff. Amazing views. Driving in to the ecolodge area is just amazing. Pineapples all around, not to mention the rest. The cottage was spik and span and comfy. Different viewsites with well built platforms to do that. Beach within walking distance. Lot of different surfaces (rocks, sand, plants etc.)
Gombela is beautifully situated on the cliff with a fantastic view over Praia Piscina. Remote, but good location between Praia Jale and Praia Piscina. The ecolodge is basic, but well kept and the staff is serviceminded. Theo organize good trips to Rolas Island.
The lodge has a really good look and feel. Lots of green spaces, good swimming pool and cozy rooms. The staff is absolutely lovely, really nice. They are definitely one of the biggest plus. Breakfast is good as well, it’s also quite sustainable because the fruit that is served grows on the property. The property infrastructure is a mix of modern and old which is really nice, really good facilities overall. It was worth it, we really enjoyed our stay
