Friendly and intimate
Somewhat hard to find down a residential street that’s a five-minute walk from the beach, we were sad to leave this sophisticated guesthouse.
The family who owns the place is genuinely welcoming (as is their little dog Katcha); the atmosphere makes you want to lie around and relax; and eco-friendly practices like solar power, grey water and use of organic veggies are admirable. Rather than squeeze in as many bedrooms as possible, the owners left several common areas in the renovated house, including a living room, upstairs lounge, large outdoor terrace, garden and dining area where complimentary breakfast is served. Sofas and bookshelves abound. Rooms are decked out with several screened windows, parquet floors, luxurious beds, TVs, minibars and ceiling fans in addition to air-con. Each individually designed room includes rattan touches and bright modern art on olive green, flush white or deep crimson walls, and the largest comes with its own private deck with views to Khao Krai Lad. Large bathrooms with high-quality appliances and stone floors are another high point. We were offered around 200 baht off the listed rates on two different types of rooms. Recommended.
