We understand the importance of staying connected, even during a retreat in nature. That’s why we offer WiFi powered by Starlink for our guests.
While we encourage disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of daily life, we recognize that sometimes it’s necessary to check emails or stay in touch. Our WiFi service allows you to do just that while still enjoying the tranquility and isolation of our retreat.
As advocates of the slow living philosophy, we prioritize our staff’s well-being by allowing them ample time to prepare tents to meet our high standards. Consequently, we do not accommodate early check-in or late check-out requests.
Nevertheless, we acknowledge your wish to make the most of your time exploring the island, and thus, we provide a luggage storage service for your convenience.
You may collect your complimentary ferry tickets earlier from the Marina South Ferries counter and board any of their public ferries departing from Marina South Pier. Ferry timings can be found here.
