There is a lot of climbing in Ranomafana- in the rainforest but also in this hotel - from the road to the reception and restaurant and then again to the lovely wooden chalets- full of nature - geckos, chameleon, wasp nests and the rat in the bathroom.
While we were there the receptionand restaurant was being rebuilt and the chef did extremely well in the temporary kitchen

The swimming pool could be a little warmer

we prepaid for a room for 3 nights, drove 11.5 hours to get there from Tana, only to be told that the hotel was full for the 3 nights and the room had been let to someone else. They offered for us to stay at Ihary hotel which is in the middle of the noisy town and well below the standard of Domaine Nature. There were at least 3 other guests who had the experience at the same time and were shuffled to Ihary! Since it was 8pm we opted to have dinner at DN and were served tepid food which led to upset stomachs that night.

Comfortable and tastefully decorated, eco-friendly cabins in the heart of the rain forest.
Waterfalls running close-by make a perfect retreat.
Great service, very knowledgeable and friendly staff!
For dinner, ask for their "Marmite Tanala", a local specialty - DELICIOUS!

We loved our stay at Domaine Nature and will definitely come back.

This is a small hotel in a small village close to a beutiful national park. Staff was friendly and rooms quite simple but clean and confortable. I only stayed one night but I do recommend.
