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 areas. Shared basic bathroom facilities are located on the second floor. The Malagasy host and author, Michèle Rakotoson, has restored and furnished her house tastefully, using embroidered tablecloths made in the village. Traditional tableware and simple authentic Malagasy decor makes Chez Haga suitable for various cultural events, such as literature, poetry and jazz evenings as well as ''Reprise par l’écrivain [[kabary]]'' - a traditional Malagasy form of speech used in public debates throughout the rule of the Imerina Kingdom. While kabary was suppressed during the French colonisation it re-emerged following independence. In addition to the serviced restaurant, Michèle Rakotosonwelcomes guests and day visitors to unwrap their own picnics at the fixed-to-the-ground wooden tables in the large garden area. Self-serviced picnickers are only expected to buy their drinks from the restaurant.

In all, la maison d’hôtes chez Haga offreAmbohimanga has a meaning:The structure of the village, the location and architecture, the rice paddies and fields, it would be a pity to miss it all. Ambohimanga is worth more than a detour. We must give visitors the opportunity to ask and explore its trails and listen to the heart beat”.''' '''— Michèle Rakotoson'''</div> 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.
