Stayed here last year but have finally gotten round to writing a review. The Secret Garden is a lovely little place to stay when visiting the area for the water falls – because let’s be honest there is not a huge lot else to do. This is true of the area around the B&B because it is very quiet but the area between the rooms and the owner’s home is laid out like a forest with wooden walkways and it turns “quiet” into “peaceful”.

The owner John is charming and friendly, making you feel very welcomed and looked after. Those who dislike “other people” should be warned that it is hard not to mix with the other guests, but the relaxed air made this enjoyable even for an antisocial type like myself. Logistics are made very easy as well, with John organising taxis etc for short trips or round trips across the border into Brazil.

A really cool little place then. An intimate and relaxed air that feels more like staying with friends than just finding somewhere to sleep and eat while visiting the falls.

This is a gem of a place. There are only 3 rooms so you need to book way in advance. John Fernandes makes you feel so welcome and he is also like your travel agent while here. He serves you brechetta and drinks from 7:30 to 9 pm every evening . Breakfast consist of homemade bread and jams with juice, fruit and coffee. The rooms were clean. He even let us use his phone to call home as he has internet overseas service. He will help plan your time and arrange for a driver for you, recommend restaurants, activities, etc. We visited both sides of the falls and definitely the Argentina side is better. We have been to the falls 3 times and the Argentina side has been improved upon. Because of a protest with the schools, they closed the highway tio the Argentina side and we were not able to spend only a half day on this side on our last day. You could spend a whole day here easily. We also visited the bird park, and the dam. John definitely makes the stay memorable.

We stayed at the Secret Garden this past March and were so happy we did! John and his staff were amazing! Jaime, our driver arranged by John was very friendly and prompt.

The room was immaculate and very comfortable; my best sleep during our 2 weeks in Argentina! Breakfast was lovely. I think John should export his homemade jams! Yes, they're that good. Drinks and bruschetta in the evening were a wonderful way to transition the day and prepare us for dinner.

We only stayed 2 nights, but I highly recommend our favorite restaurant, La Hacienda. It was in a rustic cabin-like setting. And we had a blast there! Food was good, atmosphere and music wonderful. We went to Agva the 2nd night. It was very nice, but felt we could have been anywhere in the world.

We would love to go back to Iquazu and the Secret Garden and stay more than 2 nights. For us, 2 days and nights were not long enough!

The experience at Secret Garden was wonderful. From the start, John (the owner of the inn) arrived at the airport to pick us up. Secondly, our rooms were great and the personalized attention he gave us in Iguazu was great. We were escorted to a hotel where we could spend the afternoon at the pool after he made arrangements. We also got treated to a cocktail reception in the evening (John was sure we would make it back to socialize with guests). We did encounter a protest while we were there, the only drawback to our stay in Iguazu, but John was able to help us get around it at first. Make your reservations early as he has a tendency to fill up.
