The two guest houses can take single, twin and triple accommodation in self-contained suites. In addition to this, you can also sleep out in hammocks in the verandahs or camp out in the open.

The cokerite palm-thatched traditional round Benab next to the guest houses can also be used to relax in hammocks out of the sun and to hold meetings, workshops and retreats. The Rock View swimming pool with its rocks and boulders, clumps of cacti and succulents is both cool and warm. Rocking gently in the shade of the cashew tree you can relax in a hammock with a refreshing drink and a book after a day picnicking, boating, riding or hiking.

Rock View was famous in the past when the only contact with the outside was when the Dakota flight would come in from the coast for supplies of beef, tobacco and peanuts. The Dakota Bar would then come to life with the gossip and political intrigue that, the old timers say, helped to bring about the 1969 Rupununi uprising. Guests can now have a beer, rum and swank, with appetizers, or even a bar-b-q and enjoy darts and dominoes with the villagers in these more peaceful times.

"An oasis of comfort, excellent food, very good accommodation and a kind relationship to it's neighbourhood"

The Independent, UK

"Rare is it when visionaries of an Earth friendly future are warmly received as a member of the family in a commercial resort, and rare is it when that operation is a model of sustainability in tune with the dreams of Iwokrama."
