Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance, especially during summer and Lunar New Year holidays, when family rooms fill up quickly. If you plan to cook, stop at the local convenience stores or small markets in central Manzhou Township on your way in, as options near the cabin are limited. Bring comfortable walking shoes for nearby hikes, and insect repellent for evenings spent on the garden terrace. Since the property is entirely non-smoking, smokers will need to use designated outdoor areas only. For those arriving by public transport, take the Kenting bus to Manzhou Township and arrange a short taxi ride to the property, as the cabin is a 20-minute walk from the nearest bus stop.
