When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. This place is more than just a guesthouse—it’s Surrounded by national parks, beaches, valleys, hiking trails, every feels like a natural world. What makes it even more special is that the guesthouse itself feels like an extension of nature. Staying here, you don’t just visit nature—you become part of it. I loved how I could enjoy the serenity of being alone, fully immersed in the peaceful surroundings. At the same time, the backpacker has a great place to meet travelers from all over the world and exchange life stories. It was the perfect balance of solitude and social cronnection. And then there’s Tony, He is not just a wonderful host but also a warm and friendly person who loves meeting new people. He shared so many interesting stories with us—especially about his animals and the experiences that come with raising them. His passion and kindness made the stay even more memorable. Tony, thank you for creating such a cozy and special place. After a long year of busyness, I finally had the chance to slow down and enjoy a truly wonderful holiday in your little paradise. I hope to return
