Kick back and relax after your adventures in our next level, air conditioned cabin. Cool off in a huge fresh water swimming pool and watch Mother Nature surround you. Nestled in the 24,000 m2/6 acre private jungle grounds of Southern Drake Lodge our Gatehouse Cabin is close to 3 areas of outstanding natural beauty, Corcovado National Park, Cańo Island and the Terraba-Sierpe Mangrove and the Pacific Ocean, giving you the best wildlife the air, land and sea has to offer. The space Sitting separately from the main lodge building, we built the cabin with nature watching in mind. It's on stilts with a wraparound porch, plenty of room for watching the birds and the monkeys. There's hammocks for chilling and a pool to cool off in. So you don't waste any valuable nature watching time, we've built a rainforest shower outside so you can keep your eye out for any furry or feathered visitors. Inside the cabin is a generous open plan kitchen and dining area below a vaulted roof with windows for extra light. An air conditioned bedroom and a large WC completes the essentials. The cabin has 360 degree views, so you just need to bring your binoculars, phone or camera and keep them to hand. Breakfast and evening meals are served on our Rancho covered outdoor platform the best place for monkey and birdwatching and our fire pit or pool bar are perfect places to wind down, talk about your day's adventures and plan tomorrow's. Transfers from and to Drake Bay airport when flying and from and to the main beach when arriving by boat from Sierpe are included. A cleaning and laundry service is also included. Please note there’s an additional fee for food and daily cleaning if you booked before 10 February 2024. Guest access There is free parking available on the grounds of Southern Drake Lodge. Other things to note We can't emphasise this enough. If you're driving to Drake Bay, you need a 4x4 (4WD) vehicle. The roads have been greatly improved and during the dry season it is now easier than it's ever been to get around. However, if you want to explore the area or, if you're here during the green season, you'll no doubt come across rivers or streams that you need to drive through or steep hills you need to climb. Avoid awkward conversations with your rental company, a ruined holiday and unnecessary costs by making sure you hire a 4WD vehicle.
