It has 1 twin rooms, 2 kingsize bed room and 2 single rooms
It is not only a kind of Comoro flora garden in miniature but also a permaculture experience with a variety of natural animal breeding place such as, rabbits, chickens, guinnea fowl, Common cail, lemurs and land tortoises
The flora of the Comoros archipelago has not been studied in depth, in opposition to other islands in the Indian Ocean (Morat & Lowry, 1997; Pascal et al., 2001; Pascal, 2002). Floristic studies of the Comoros archipelago began in the first part of the 20th century, when Voeltskow published “Flora und Fauna der Komoren. Reise in Ostafrika in den Jahren 1902–1905” (Vos, 2004) in which he identified 935 vascular plant species, including 416 endemic species. His work was completed by a more recent project aiming to identify the flora of the Comoros archipelago. The main studies made in Comoros were carried out by Moinjoin in 1981, Adjanohoun in 1982 and the PLARM (study of the characteristics and composition of aromatique and medicinal plants) project (Adjanohoun et al., 1982; Gurib Fakim & Guého, 1999). More recently, studies of Kaou et al. and Soidrou et al. were added to this list (Kaou et al., 2008; Soidrou et al., 2013). The latest botanical studies for the Comoros archipelago estimate the number of species as being over 2,000 (indigenous and introduced) (Adjanohoun et al., 1982; Pascal, 2002; Barthelat & Boullet, 2005; Barthelat & Viscardi
The local spices of the Comoros are not only essential for cooking, but they are also recognized for their health benefits. They are used in small quantities due to their strong and concentrated flavors. Comorian spices, such as black pepper and cinnamon, are grown under optimal altitude and climate conditions, offering a rich and pungent flavor that can enhance various dishes. These spices are also used in small amounts because of their strong and concentrated flavors.
A groundbreaking ethnobotanical study found that 207 plant species, including nine endemics, are still used in Comorian traditional medicine—from treating colds to soothing rheumatism and malaria. However, modernization and habitat loss have placed this knowledge at risk.
