Outdoor pool and garden
The outdoor pool sits alongside a garden with dedicated outdoor furniture. It's the clearest reason to base yourself here rather than somewhere without on-site facilities — particularly useful on Ko Phangan where the midday heat is real.
Restaurant, bar, and coffee house
Eating and drinking without leaving the property is straightforward. There's a full restaurant, a bar with happy hour available at an additional charge, and a coffee house on site. Room service is also available.
Room design and size
The two room categories are distinct in scale. The Deluxe Double Room runs to 40 m² with a queen bed, while the Budget Double Room is 30 m². Both include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a refrigerator, slippers, and bathrobes.
Activities and local culture
The tour desk arranges cooking classes and cultural tours, both at an additional charge. These are organised through the property, which is useful if you'd rather not coordinate independently on an unfamiliar island.
