Chez Haga offers reasonable priced accommodation in a homely atmosphere. The two-storey building includes five guest rooms, three double and two single rooms, all of which are different in style and character. The living room and an outside patio function as the dining, lunch and breakfast area. Shared basic bathroom facilities are located on the second floor.

Close to the main building stands a smaller, over 200 years old house, the second oldest in the area after the Rova itself. The building originally functioned as a tribunal and was thereafter used a doctor's practice. The house is currently in a state of restoration.

The surrounding area offers excellent hiking in all directions and is a good start for learning about the origins of the Merina Kingdom, that once ruled and unified the different ethnic groups of Madagascar. In addition to the Rova, the nearby Soavinandriamanitra Culture Park offers various attractions, such as reptiles, chameleons and many small strange creatures unique to Madagascar. There is also a very cute and tame family of Sifaka lemurs.
Michelle also maintains a second property a few kilometres <!-- ??km --> from Ambohimanga. The house offers an alternative to anyone seeking calm, peace and nature, between the countless hilltops and typical Malagasy villages of the Merina highlands.
