Family trip to Taiwan

Very nice boutique place at the higher end of QingJiing (around 2000m above sea level). Located inside a small local village, 5~10mins walking to main road. Well maintain decorative gardening, great view at the balcony, for both Sunrise & sunset view. Owner & staff all very friendly.

Great room with amazing view and service

We booked the warm double room which had a loft so it would perfect for 4 people or just 2 people who particularly like lofts.. which I do! The place was very clean and nice and the interior/ decor is somewhat Victorian with cozy beige and teak colour hues. The hot water was great, very high pressure water and there was also an electric blanket. The outdoor viewing deck outside was the perfect spot to look at stars at night. They served complimentary breakfast and dinner too! Food was great and enough for two big eaters. Owner also offers lifts to the farm (one way).

Friendly staff

Friendly staffs, the owner even gave us a ride to the farm and picked us up at the end of the day. Free breakfast and dinner. Nothing fancy but home made. Congee for breakfast, a taste of Taiwanese traditional breakfast. Dinner taste good too, especially the sesame fried chicken. The room is freezing cold, no heater in the room but do have an electric blanket on the bed. Water from the shower splash out, the floor is all wet after shower.

Mountain escape, easy reach from Taichung

Very peaceful location on a steep hillside. Lots of shared decks to enjoy the sun, and in our case the crisp chilly weather. The food is home-made, authentic, and plentiful. Good time dining with everyone staying there as well. Definitely recommended, and we will be back.

不推

住2晚並沒有比較優惠，因此期待2晚皆補備品換毛巾倒垃圾，這應該是基本。若不補，民宿方也理應主動先行告知。我們第2天有將垃圾包好，拿到櫃台請民宿方協助處理，但得到的回應是要我們放回房間，完全無法理解。看到其他間的房客直接把垃圾丟在外面任由野貓翻，也沒人處理，真的衛生堪慮。另外，建議不要加購早餐。菜色請參考圖片。民宿方要求我們一定要整房的人一起去吃才供餐，不是訂餐前告知的，而是去用餐當下才告知。 4樣菜（蛋、青菜、肉鬆、豆枝）和粥，一人150元，我們一桌4人要600...。清淨不是什麼食材物資難以運送的地方，不認為這收費合理。
