Welcome to Home Away From Home! This is not only our home, but also yours. You’ll have exclusive use of the guest area (three bedrooms + a full bathroom), while sharing other spaces with us—creating a warm and unique experience.
Spacious home, comfortable guest rooms, pet-friendly, and full of artistic charm.

Guest Area: Three private bedrooms (1 King + 2 Queens) with a large shared guest bathroom, guest-only fridge, and storage space.

Shared Spaces: Full bathroom, living room, oversized kitchen, outdoor BBQ and lounge area, outdoor dining, garden, and birdhouse. Everything you need is provided, including complimentary bottled water, coffee, and a variety of teas.

Upon arrival, we’ll personally welcome you, hand over the driveway gate remote, and walk you through the house features. After that, you’ll have the freedom to come and go anytime. We’re confident you’ll feel truly at home and enjoy a one-of-a-kind stay!

If you’re not a fan of birds, this might not be the right place for you.

During your stay, we are here to help you at any time, just like family.
