The Secret Garden in Puerto Iguazu is a small, friendly B&B, in a lovely and peaceful setting. It is located in quiet residential area close to the main thoroughfare and easy walking distance to the restaurants and other services in Puerto Iguazu. The bus to Iguazu Falls stops just around the corner from the B&B and runs frequently through the... More

Stayed here last week for 3 nites while visiting both sides of the falls. Can only reiterate what has been said before, John did everything he could to make our stay comfy and friendly. Really enjoyed the morning group visit over breakfast and the evening 're-cap' over drinks of all the guests! Was a great way to meet others and... More

We stayed with John around Christmas and can confirm what everyone else has already written regarding the quality of food, rooms, and, best of all, his hosting. This is a B&B, so do not expect the luxuries of a 5 star hotel, however, the Secret Garden does have a character and charm like no other. John's hosting is like having... More

John greeted us at the door of this charming B&B and whisked us off for a tour of Iguazu City, pointing out the best restaurants. We crossed a wooden bridge through a tropical garden to our room decorated in peaches and pinks and parrot portraits. After a trip to the Falls, escorted by Ariel, John's driver, we were served caparinhas... More

John Fernandes has established a unique B & B in the heart of the jungle, but it's clean, comfortable, and relaxing. He offers a delicious Happy Hour where he acted as a terrific host, introducing the 6 guests (3 rooms) to each other and giving us all tips on what to do, when, where. The breakfast was also wonderful…homemade breads,... More

Could not have picked a better place to stay while visiting Iguazu Falls. Host John Fernandes is so welcoming and will arrange airport pickup and return (extra charge), arrange a car and driver (there were 4 of us so we used this to and from falls), as well as make suggestions for additonal activities and restaurants. The setting is tropical... More

A great place not so much for fancy interior and design but for big thick towels, beautiful shower (best we found in Argentina!), delicious hearty breakfasts (they even cooked up eggs when we said we were sick of pastries every day) and a rather special host. John's famous cocktail hours are worth the hype, with perfectly made cocktails and delicious... More

John Fernandes should be running a major resort. Thank goodness he is running a beautiful B&B in Iquazu instead. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. We chose to pay for an aiport pickup and drop-off: $45 USD extra, but it was worth it. A driver was at the airport waiting for us, and we were... More

What a great experience, lovely room, lovely food, but most of all great host (John) and great fellow travellers. We would highly recommend this B&B to others if visiting the Falls More

John, the owner of this B & B was seriously one of the highlights of our trip to Argentina. Such an interesting and inspiring person to meet! The place was clean and super comfy and the staff bends over backwards for you! Pluses for dog fans! Roxy the jack russell is great! :) More
