Auntie Mali, the owner of the accommodation, is very cute. The accommodation feels like a grandchild visiting an aunt in another province. In the morning, Auntie will make breakfast for you to eat. It's very friendly. Went to stay with 4 friends in a family room. The overall atmosphere is quite comfortable and very natural. Suitable for people who want to escape from the busy city and relax in peace and quiet. After finishing walking through the garden, you can also ask the auntie to go hiking along the nature trail and watch birds and trees. Walking in can be a bit difficult if you don't have your own car or someone to drop you off. But if you get there, it's definitely worth it. :)

Set in a beautiful tropical garden, this resort, run by a Thai-Swiss family, lives up to its name. From our bungalow, we could watch birds from the balcony.  …

My family really enjoyed our stay. Great location, with beautiful gardens and a mountainous backdrop, away from the centre of town but close to nature. Chiang Dao Cave is less than 10 minutes walk away and the Tam Pah Phlong temple is only a 510 step climb at the end of the road. Malee, Kurt and the rest of the team really looked after us and can help organise transport and hiking if you are up to it.

We stayed 3 nights here and wish we had stayed for a whole week. Malee and Kurt were so friendly and welcoming, we hired bikes for 2 days for a very good price , they gave us maps, advice on where to visit and the breakfast was wonderful. The garden is absolutely stunning it feels like a little paradise and the pool is lovely and refreshing, The room had everything we needed and was clean. We went out for dinner with Malee and Kurt on the last night and we had an overall great experience. We will be coming back again! Thank You :)

Pure Nature Bungalows! 100% natural surroundings with mountains, river, Flora & Fauna. Birds galore. Small swimming pool. Free breakfast. Great views + an observation platform for birding and stargazing. Lovely owners and service.HOWEVER...needs air conditioning. The rooms have NO aircon. Nights are pleasant enough with fan(s), but daytime indoors is HOT. Other than that, everything was perfect.
