About Us

Simple living, set inside a working plantation

The Nook is a small, laid-back hostel tucked into a plantation in Vagamon. We built it for backpackers, friends and families who want fresh air, good company and a comfortable bed — without the fuss.

Spend your days trekking the meadows and pine forests, and your evenings around the campfire under a sky full of stars.
