OUR STORY

We are Kate and Ian, we both have long histories of working in tourism, Kate as a tour guide in Europe and the USA for 12 years before meeting Ian in Malawi where he was teaching SCUBA  Diving.  After running a dive school in Mozambique together we decided to move closer to our roots in the UK and when we visited  Bulgaria in 2004 the dream to own our own little piece of the planet became a reality.  Over the years that dream has grown and matured, from what started out as a small cottage to live in becoming a kayaking business and eventually Gecko Lodge.

" We had a lovely relaxing time at Gecko Lodge, we love birdwatching and it was amazing to just sit in the garden and have the birds come to us for a change! "

" What a find! A great location with really lovely comfortable accommodation, its like glamping but so much better. We had a cabin to ourselves and took full advantage of the space and views all around. Thanks Kate and Ian "
" This was our first visit to Bulgaria, we had no idea what to expect, we love nature and wildlife and heard that Gecko Lodge also had a kayaking business on site. It meant we could kayak early and spend the rest of the day at the nearby beach, perfect.”
