Introduction

Tucked in the pastoral countryside of Yilan’s Dongshan Township, ConnieJiWa Family Courtyard Whole-Home Stay is tailor-made for multi-generational family getaways and group trips, where the chaos of city life melts into rolling green rice fields and slow, sunlit afternoons. Designed for exclusive private rental, this kid-focused homestay turns any group visit into a stress-free, memorable retreat, with all the space and amenities to keep little guests entertained and adult guests relaxed.

Hotel Overview

Located at No. 70, Sanqi Road, Dongshan Township, this whole-property rental homestay offers exclusive use of the entire courtyard for your group, with spacious family-friendly rooms that are all non-smoking, fitted with air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. Every room comes with a private en-suite bathroom for extra privacy.

For families, the property shines: there’s a dedicated outdoor children’s play area and an indoor game zone to keep kids occupied for hours on rainy or sunny days alike. Outdoor spaces include a sprawling garden, a shaded picnic area, and a sunlit terrace perfect for morning coffee or evening barbecues with the group. On-site amenities cover every practical need: free parking (no reservation required, with both private on-site spots and available street parking), free Wi-Fi across the entire property, daily housekeeping, and luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures. For active guests, bicycle rental is available for a small fee to explore the surrounding countryside, and the staff can arrange off-site fishing trips for a fun day out. A casual on-site restaurant serves local meals, and free fresh local fruit is provided daily.

Nearby Attractions

Three can’t-miss local spots are all within a 15-minute drive:

• Sanqi Bubble Green Rice Field: Just a 5-minute bike ride from the homestay, this iconic Yilan landscape draws visitors year-round for its sweeping views of golden-green rippling rice paddies. The raised wooden observation path is stroller-friendly, perfect for family photos amid the countryside.
• Dongshan River Water Park: A 12-minute drive away, this sprawling open-air park offers shallow, calm riverfront areas for kids to wade and splash, plus cycling trails and riverside picnic spots. It’s ideal for a full day of low-key outdoor fun in summer.
• Jimmy’s Moon Bus: Located 10 minutes away in Luodong, this whimsical art installation park based on illustrator Jimmy Liao’s work is a hit with kids and art lovers alike, with colorful, photo-worthy displays that feel straight out of a storybook.

Travel Tips

This homestay is rented exclusively as an entire property, so book well in advance, especially for weekends, national holidays, and the summer harvest season when Yilan tourism peaks. Only Mandarin is spoken by on-site staff, so non-Chinese speakers should arrange for a translation tool when booking or checking in. Pack comfortable walking shoes for bike rides around the rice fields, and bring layers—Yilan’s countryside can be cooler and windier than Taipei, even in summer. Don’t skip the opportunity to pick up fresh locally grown pomelos or pineapples from roadside stands nearby to enjoy on the homestay’s terrace.
