The only downside is the location, a little far from everything. It’s very easy to take Uber to reach the cataractas though.

Beautiful and comfortable place with the nicest and most helpful hosts you can imagine!

I only had time for one night. There seemed to be nothing much in the neighborhood. So you better come by car.

The owner of the place, Cris, gave me a very warm welcome. She knew who I was even before I introduced myself. In addition to Portuguese and Spanish, she speaks pretty good English, which can be a game changer. She gave me very helpful tourist information and showed me the relevant places on the map. She also helped me with an online food order and made sure I got exactly what I needed. I cannot think of a better host.

Absolutely nothing, our stay was first class.

We absolutely loved our stay at Cris garden! Cris is the loveliest and most helpful host, gave us really helpful tips on things to do in the area and and was so kind in ordering us a pizza for us after a long day exploring the falls so we could relax! She makes the place so special with her warmth and humour and our room was unbelievably comfortable and clean. It was such a lovely introduction to Brazil as we had crossed the border from Argentina and it was our first stop. The bed was heavenly and it’s such a quiet and relaxing place. Cris’s breakfast is without a doubt the best I’ve had in any accommodation, ever! Delicious cakes and bread, eggs, mango, avocado, great coffee - so varied and incredibly delicious. We were thrilled we stayed here as it was such a lovely and homely spot and it’s the most ideal place if you are visiting the falls, especially coming from the Argentinian side. It’s a 5 minute walk through the field from the Brazilian border to cris’s place (there is a shortcut and you can see the b&b from the border!) and only 20 mins to the park to see the falls in an Uber. Much closer and more convenient than staying in the centre and we really enjoyed the peace and calmness at Cris’s place and staying out of town. I couldn’t recommend Cris and her pousada more, we loved our stay and were sad we couldn’t stay another to enjoy her delicious breakfasts more!

Really nice, clean and well managed pousada, well placed for both sides of the waterfalls. Cris is a cheerful and helpful host, who didn’t skimp on the things that are important, such as good beds and a quality breakfast.

Cris the host was the absolute best. Helpful, as nice as they can get. I never felt more welcome or welcomed anywhere I’ve ever stayed at. The breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed the complementary coffee and sweet treats in the afternoon. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else ! Muito obrigada !

Shower was a little cold but this was fine as it was hot out

Cris was super helpful and very nice. She washed and dried my clothes, and helped me get the bus to Puerto Iguazu. She speaks three languages perfectly, which is very impressive too! The breakfast was excellent too and attention to detail great

Spectacular hospitality, fantastic & abundant homemade breakfast, wonderful amenities and many thoughtful touches at this small and immaculate hotel. Great for families. The amazing host met us as we exited the taxi and helped us with our bags. She gave us a tour of the facilities, answered all our questions, and gave us helpful advice on local highlights. We loved the pool, ping pong table, hammocks and having access to communal cooking facilities and a fridge of cold drinks (honour bar system).

The place is right outside of the Brazil custom. The hostess was extremely nice and helpful. She speaks great English too. You get spacious room. Easy to call an Uber. Great breakfast! I would recommend this place to everyone.

Cris is the best host we have ever had on Booking.Com - very welcoming and helpful, always with a smile. She served a huge varied and tasty breakfast every day! We arranged private airport pick-up from Foz (Brazil), and airport drop-off at Puerto Iguassu (Argentina) - the vehicle was air-conditioned, comfortable, and large enough for our family of 3 adults and our suitcases, and her husband helped us through customs at both borders.

We had a wonderful time at the pousada. Cris and her husband are wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome in their pousada. Cris had been very responsive right from the time that we made the reservation and helped us with whatever help we needed - right from arranging our pickup from the airport to helping us order dinner when we reached a little late in the evening. The room, bathroom and the grounds were very clean. The A/C worked just fine. The breakfast spread was fantastic! The WiFi also worked great. I would highly recommend this pousada to anyone visiting Foz do Iguassu

Really great spread at breakfast; location was perfect for all the tourist-y things I wanted to see. Cris was a wonderful host and really helped with any and every question during our stay. Quirky decorations and a wonderfully authentic feel throughout

This was an exceptional stay. Cris and her husband Vinicius are so personable, kind, and generous. Even though we arrived late at night, Vinicius picked us up from the airport (for a small fee that was charged later) with a personal sign. The room was sparkling clean with filtered water and a personal refrigerator. They provided optional drinks for purchase. The breakfast was fantastic with great variety. Cris helped to organize a Valentine’s Day surprise for my girlfriend which was so kind of her. Cris also helped us to figure out how to go to the Brazil and Argentinian sides of Iguazú falls. She even lent us cash when we could not find an ATM.

Cris, the proprietor, is the best host. She welcomed us immediately, stored our luggage until our room was ready, but showed us the room to make sure it would be good for us. She made recommendations for places to go (Parque das Aves!) and restaurants, and was so helpful in every way. This is a small property - about 10 units - and has very comfortable common areas - covered patio with fridge and kitchen for guests if needed. Cris and her family live on the property and it felt like we were being welcomed to their home. The breakfast is amazing and the dining room is so inviting. We told her she should charge more but she said she'd rather have people with good energy than focus just on the money. We can't say enough about this gem.

Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit and some Brazilian specialties. Owner Cris was exceptional, friendly and helpful, informed and accommodating. She and her family are a delight.

Cris and family were wonderful. The location made it easy to take bus to Argentina side and equally easy for Brazil/Foz. Breakfast was nice. Even played ping pong.
