Canopus Resort Pension

This is a hanok resort. Simple and no-frills. No hotel staff to serve you, only the boss to hand the keys over.||One small toilet and shower room combined with a water tank to serve you. …

Stay Duration - 24th (midnight) - 27th (morning), October 2023Location:The resort is very far from all tourist places, with an approximate travel time of 50 minutes to 1.5 hours.If your intention is to stay in the place and enjoy the view, go for it.However, if you plan to visit tourist places, please do not choose it because it's tough to get a taxi, and the restaurant here closes around 7, so arrange dinner beforehand (don’t take this point lightly).Resort Look and Feel:- The resort offers an amazing view of tangerine groves and mountains.- We opted for a 3BHK, but the rooms were still way too small.- The bathroom was very small.- The hot water went off in 3 hours, so we had to take a cold shower.- The kitchen was set up nicely with utensils.- It's suitable if you are okay with staying in small rooms; however, we were okay only because of the amazing sitting area.Service:- If I could give a rating in the minus, I would do that.- We reached the hotel at midnight because our flight got delayed from Busan. Also, it was our first time in South Korea, and partly due to language issues, we couldn’t get a taxi on time, and people were unsure about the address.- The taxi person was amazing and made us feel safe (we were three girls traveling from India).He dropped our luggage at the entrance, and we called the owner.- We got scared because he was initially very angry at us for coming this late (as if deliberately planned on coming late).He didn't help us with the luggage (my foot was injured; I had sprained my ankle), so we carried our luggage and went inside the beautiful house.- He was explaining the AC system and other things, but his accent was too fast for us to understand. So we asked him a couple of times to explain. He got upset and said, “These foreigners, I can’t deal with them.” We felt like we were disturbing him, so we told him it's okay; we will manage.- Late at night, we realized we didn’t have water inside the room, and all three of us couldn't ask him because it was late, so we just went to sleep.- The next morning, I woke up and went to the reception area, and it was empty. Then I went to the backside of this little cafe space; it was closed. I found one lady and asked for water; she gave me two bottles. I told her we are three people, but she didn't listen.- We started our day and went for sightseeing. By this time, we thought they would at least provide drinking water again. At 8 pm, we came back, and I asked the owner for drinking water. He looked angry and denied the water, saying, “You have to bring your own water.” We were stunned by that time. So, we arranged a taxi and got water bottles.- From that time until our stay was over, we never tried to have any conversation with him.- When we were traveling back in the morning, we thought at least we should say goodbye and greet him. I went there, and I was about to say goodbye, but that guy saw me and shut the door. I felt like crying almost.I initially thought I wouldn’t write a review, and here I am writing after a month because if you are planning to stay there just for the view, pre-arrange everything and go.

- wonderful, relaxing surroundings|- hanok is clean and tidy, comes with small living room, dining room, pantry|- pantry is well equipped with fridge, stove, plates and cutleries|- there is no bedframe/mattress, they provided traditional …

I went to this place last year. The bathroom was very small and the room was also small.However, there is a shower facility outside, but it is shared, so if you are sensitive, please take into consideration when visiting. It is a Hanok, so it is easy to be exposed to pests, but the insect screen is in good condition and the scenery inside the Hanok is nice.

It is suitable for experiencing Hanok.However, you must take into account some inconveniences, such as noise and pests, which are unavoidable in the natural environment of the countryside.It is recommended for short-term stays, but not for long-term stays. Laundry facilities are poor and not maintained properly. Towels provided are not rinsed well and sometimes have detergent residue on them.

The pu-erh tea is delicious and the tradition of Hanok is alive.
