Tropical garden setting

Review:
Built in 1999 it was originally name the Baobab Lodge from the same site that Rosemary Long, an English author, lived and wrote "Under The Baobab Tree."

Set in 5 acres it was intended to be an up-market compound where fully grown palms led their shade to 6 octagonal bungalows which enclose 2 apartments each. The furniture is made up of mostly polished pine with fitting comprising a ceiling fan, a wedge shaped toilet, gas cooker, oven and fridge.

However, apart from your breakfast, you might not want to make any of your meals as there is a fine, newly built restaurant enclosure which dominates the main entrance.

There is a convenient 5 minute walk across the road and down a sandy walkway to this part of Bijilo Beach which is fairly deserted. The accommodation in Bijilo is ideal for tourists on holiday to Gambia looking for quiet and rest away from the more crowded Kololi hotels area.
