All accommodation, much of which is found along Soppong's main road, is clearly
marked by signs. There's little in the way of food in Soppong, but virtually every guest-
house has a restaurant attached.

Soppong River Inn
( 0 5361 7107;
www.soppong.com
; r & bungalows 200-2450B; )
Combining rooms in a couple
of rambling riverside structures and a handful of free-standing basic bungalows, this is the
most attractive place in Soppong. Set among lush gardens with winding paths, the rooms
have heaps of character and are all slightly different; the River Rim Cottage, with a
private balcony situated right over the river, is our fave. Soppong River Inn is at the west-
ern edge of town, within walking distance of the bus station.
Little Eden Guesthouse
( 0 5361 7054;
www.littleeden-guesthouse.com
; r & bungalows 400-1800B; )
The five A-frame
bungalows around a pleasant pool are well kept with hot-water showers. And the four
rooms in the new building are spacious and attractive. Yet, it's the beautiful two-storey
'houses' that make this place special. Perfect for families or a group of friends, they are
stylishly decorated with living rooms, interesting nooks and crannies, and terraces with
hammocks.

Baan Café

Located near the bridge, about
750m west of Soppong's bus stop, this place combines spotless rooms and house-like bun-
galows in a park setting by Nam Lang. The bungalows include fireplaces, have balconies
looking over the river and are terrific value. Baan Café is also one of the better restaurants
in town (open from 7.30am to 7.30pm) and serving locally grown coffee.
