Well equipped villa in well maintained, quiet, secure complex.
The villa is well equipped and comfortable. It is located in a quiet area around 20 minutes north of downtown Hua Hin, within a well maintained, secure complex, with a beautiful big community pool. The gym is small, but functional. The community cafe is more of an admin base and sells only water and coke, but there are plenty of small shops nearby. It is easy to walk to the shops and to the nearest restaurants (if you are active). The nearest restaurant is Nr Nice (20 min walk) - he sells the best mango smoothie in Hua Hin! A 5 minute drive will take you down into the local community area, with a 7/11 shop and a host of local thai stalls and shops. A further 5 minutes will take you to a big Makro store for all grocery shopping. If you like yoga, there is a yoga studio close to Makro which offers a great variety of classes (Triyoga).
The location of the villa means that you really need a car or scooters to get around. We hired a car on arrival, but would recommend you do this in advance to get the best deal and ensure availability. The roads are easy to navigate, and parking was simple as there are few restrictions in Thailand!
The hosts (John & Martin) were excellent in their communication, and were present to greet us on arrival and at departure. During our stay, a fan broke and was replaced immediately by the hosts. We enjoyed the feline company of Jitters and Tigger.......such lovely cats! However both cats spend a lot of time outside, so don't be concerned if you are not a cat lover!
All in all, the villa offers a lovely, quiet space to rest, while exploring the local area. It is good value for money and John & Martin are great hosts!
