Roundhouses.
The best thing about our rooms is you get a great night’s sleep!
Our Gambia accommodation comprises nine detached en-suite roundhouses which surround our freshwater eco-pool and bar/restaurant. All roundhouses have their own fruiting trees which supply shade, privacy and of course fruit.
Our rooms are detached and use simple, yet effective techniques to help stay cool: shade-giving trees, a hot air extraction vent and 360° window ventilation.
Immerse yourself in nature with all the creature comforts you would expect from an ecologically responsible hotel: high-quality mattresses, en-suite bathrooms with hot/cold water and a composting toilet that works. There is a fan and a room safe in every room and they are free-of-charge.

Self-catering Gambia accommodation
Being self-catering gives you the freedom to choose. It doesn’t mean cooking every day and certainly not cleaning! It means you do what you like when you like with the added bonus of having a 5 star rated ecolodge on your doorstep!
A two-bedroom house set in its own grounds approximately 150 meters from the main lodge. All the benefits of Footsteps bar, restaurant, pool etc. are just a short stroll away through the gardens, with the added bonus of being a self-catering accommodation.
The house is independent of the lodge with its own supply of solar power, hot/cold water, fridge and cooking facilities which means cold drinks whenever you want them. And also hot water first thing in the morning when it can be a little chilly. There are two large bedrooms at either end of this self-catered house and extra beds are available, so Sunbird House can sleep up to six people with ease.

Top Tips
Bring a torch in case you come home a little later than expected, a good quality mosquito repellant, sensible shoes or sandals, your sunglasses and a hat. If you like to spend a lot of time at the beach then a beach mat or towel is also a good idea!
