Bamboo Hill never had a business plan but grew organically on the jungle hill. 1987: the rock on which we would eventually build today’s Sea and Sky Chalet #3. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There was a building where chalet #1 is now. It was started by two New Zealanders, Jeff and Case, and intended to be a bar but never finished. When I was pregnant with Ben I asked Zul to complete it so my father, new Grandad, could come and stay. It had no electricity so hurricane lamps were lit at dusk. It had a bathroom. There was no bridge across the stream so my father waded across.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

When I first visited in 1987 I stayed in an A-Frame hut. No electricity, no bathroom. There was a shower block with toilets but there were many spiders. Most guests showered in the river.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sea and Sky Chalet #3 was built in 1991 as two semi-detached rooms. It was renovated into the current two-room chalet in 2017. There is a newly planted bougainvillea which will, eventually, cover the hill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
