Neighbourhood information

Due to the wild forest environment of Trogon House: Cellphone reception is good, weather permitting and wifi is available in public areas but may be slow in bad weather. We offer an evening meal to our guests who prefer not to drive out at night, but we are a luxury B&B, not a hotel. so even though we have 24 hour staff on site, we do not have a 24 hour reception and such other services expected of a hotel. However we do have delicious snack, lunch and dinner platters available for enjoyment in the spa or on the pool deck.
