This out-of-the-way guesthouse is set in one of the most gorgeous spots on the island. A private residential area, the back deck looks out over a small estuary running towards the sea. On of a row of brightly painted fishing houses, the spot is accessed by a long wooden walkway through mangroves (the entrance is opposite Panviman Resort). Rooms are large, simple and comfortable, with air-con, a private bathroom and hot shower. The beach is about five minutes walk away through tranquil coconut groves. The helpful British/Thai owners can help organise a seafood barbecue, Thai food, or breakfast if desired. Guests can learn to cook Thai by participating in the food preparation. They also provide a free kayak, perfect for those who want to see the glow bugs. Be sure to call in advance as with only three rooms this place is often full. Free WiFi for guests. Not ideal for children.

Super Location & Lovely Rooms - 19th March, 2008
My Wife & I with our 4 year old Son had a wonderful 3 days,we would of stayed longer but the Guest House was fully booked. We had such a wonderful time that we have booked for next year. The English owner '' Ian '' with his Thai partner '' Mam'' were very helpful with their wealth of knowledge & advice of the island.
