Stunning Treehouse

Our treehouse was amazing! It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had large windows letting in natural light. We especially loved the spa bath with a perfect view, making for a relaxing experience. The fireplace added a cozy touch that made our stay even more enjoyable.

Very nice In-Room Massage

Booking a massage treatment in our treehouse was a highlight of our stay. The therapists were very professional and brought all the necessary equipment right to us, allowing us to truly relax in the comfort of our space. It was the ultimate pampering experience!

Pethers is an incredible retreat nestled in a beautiful rainforest setting, making it the perfect getaway for those seeking tranquility. The rooms are absolutely stunning, offering serene views and a private atmosphere. Dining was a highlight with remarkably flavorful dishes and great recommendations for paired wines, though options are limited outside the resort. Overall, it's a wonderful experience worth every penny, but do check the restaurant's hours as it operates only on specific days.
