Holding only 24 guests at a time, the lodge features 8 individual cottages and 4 semi-detached cottages, ensuring an exclusive and serene experience. The raised cottages are made of natural materials like bamboo and wood, topped with thatched roofs to blend in with the forest surroundings. Each individual cottage has a wide folding glass door opening onto a verandah with inviting cane chairs.

The air-conditioned sitting and dining area opens onto two verandahs, perfect for watching birdlife, and there is also a television and library room. The Diphlu River Lodge recycles grey water for irrigation, converts organic waste into compost, grow their own crops and use woven objects from the neighbouring villages.
