Strawberry Fields Eco-Lodge offers a purely ecological lodging service, with solar power, solar shower and composting toilets. Our rooms are housed in the local Konso “tikka”, a thickly thatched wooden hut of perfectly circular dimensions.
The clay walls are a foot thick, as is the grass roof, offering fantastic natural insulation for day-time coolness and night-time snugness. We are a quiet and refreshing alternative to the noisy grubby hotels in Karat Konso town, but unlike other lodges in the area we offer good value for money!
Our lodge is the authentic local cultural experience. It was built by the local people, employing their time-honored traditional craftsmanship and using local natural materials.
Each room is furnished with cultural style beds, bedsides table and chairs and wash basin. Mosquito nets are provided and the rooms are regularly fumigated with the smoke of a local Euphorbia plant called “kinchib”, which keeps the insects away (both big and small!).
