Sunset Inn offers a unique experience nestled amidst nature, but parking can present some challenges. For guests arriving in standard vehicles, it's necessary to park a few meters away from the accommodations and enjoy a short walk uphill. Those with a high-clearance vehicle or a 4x4 will find it easier to drive up directly to the cabins, even though the road is rugged and may become problematic during rainy periods. The steep, bumpy path, with its mix of mud and rocks, is not suited for smaller cars. For those without a 4x4, parking is available at the bottom of the hill, followed by a trek up to the establishment. Despite these access difficulties, many guests find the effort worthwhile, given the hotel's excellent price-to-quality ratio, delightful breakfast, and abundant opportunities to observe wildlife.
