Reviews
Place was clean, quiet and peaceful, only the gravel road was a problem. Our car got stucked within the imbabali yard and it seriously damaged our car. I was very disappointed.
The experience at Imbabali was as its name says, a retreat. From the moment you drive in the feeling you get is just so peaceful. The photos on the website do not do justice to the establishment, it is everything they suggest and more, the cottage was very comfortable and clean and the gardens are beautiful, definitely recommend to all. The hosts were also very welcoming and helpful and made the stay an overall 5 star experience
The stay at Imbalali was awesome. There was just a short period of no water on the morning of the 21st but was soon resolved. Hosts are amazing. Will definitely revisit.
