Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable spots are just a short drive from the manor:

• Nanwan (South Bay): A 10-minute drive away, this crescent-shaped golden sand beach is perfect for swimming, stand-up paddleboarding, and gentle sunbathing, with fewer crowds than nearby Kenting Main Street.
• Longluan Lake Wetland: A 5-minute drive from the hotel, this protected wetland is a top birdwatching spot, home to over 200 migratory bird species in winter, with flat walking trails ideal for casual strolls at sunset.
• Hengchun Old Town: A 15-minute drive north, this well-preserved 19th-century Qing Dynasty walled town boasts four intact historic gates, local street food stalls serving iconic Hengchun delicacies like oyster omelets and braised pork rice, and the historic A-Guo’s Herbal Tea House for a refreshing cold drink.

Travel Tips

Book at least two weeks in advance during peak season (June to August and Chinese New Year) to secure garden-view rooms. If you’re bringing a pet, notify the front desk at the time of booking to confirm availability and any extra fees. The manor is 15 minutes from Kenting Main Street’s nightlife, so it’s the perfect spot for travelers who want to escape the noise of the busy tourist district but still be close to the action. Renting a scooter or car is the easiest way to explore the area, and the hotel even offers on-site car rental for added convenience.
