The homestay caters to every type of traveler, from couples to family groups to pet owners: spacious family rooms, hypoallergenic and soundproofed non-smoking accommodations, and pet-friendly policies (with advance notice and a possible small fee) make it welcoming for all. All rooms come with private en-suite bathrooms stocked with free toiletries, a hairdryer, and basic amenities, plus flat-screen TVs with cable channels and free Wi-Fi across the entire property.

On-site perks add to the relaxed vibe: guests enjoy free private parking (including accessible spots), a free airport shuttle, daily housekeeping, and a complimentary daily breakfast.

For active travelers, the homestay offers yoga and fitness classes, bicycle rentals, and paid add-ons including off-site cooking classes and local cultural tours that let you dive deep into Taitung life.

Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are all within a 20-minute drive of the homestay:

• Taitung Brown Avenue: Just 15 minutes away, this iconic tree-lined path is one of Taitung’s most photographed spots. Dense coconut palms arch over the paved road, creating a shaded, dreamy walkway perfect for cycling, picnics, or sunset photos.
• Taitung Forest Park: A 10-minute drive from the homestay, this sprawling urban park centers on the clear, bright Pipa Lake. Visitors can rent paddle boats, walk the wooden boardwalks through mangrove forests, or spot native birds along the shore.
• Taitung Night Market: 10 minutes away on foot, this bustling local night market serves up Taitung specialties like deep-fried squid, millet cake, and oyster omelets, all at budget-friendly prices, far less crowded than the night markets in Taiwan’s larger cities.

Travel Tips

The homestay only hosts Mandarin-speaking staff, so it’s helpful to have a translation app handy if you don’t speak Chinese. Book any cooking classes or cultural tours at least three days in advance to secure a spot, and notify the homestay of your pet’s size and breed when booking to avoid any issues on arrival. If you’re arriving via Taitung Airport, take advantage of the free airport shuttle to save on transport costs. Spring and autumn, between March to May and September to November, bring mild, comfortable temperatures perfect for exploring Taitung’s outdoor spots, making these the best times to book your stay.
