I had opportunity to try for homestay when attended my friend’s wedding in early of December 2015. My friend had booked this homestay for us. The homestay is beside of Taska or kindergarten so I can hear the kids sang Christmas song in the morning.

Owner only give a pair of keys so keep it properly. The speed of automatic gate close is so slow after pressing the button. When close the gate needs to wait for the gate completely close to ensure the gate did not reverse.

The living room is big and furnished with sofa, television, table and many more. In the living room has air-conditioner.

Beside of living room has a dining table. Near with dining table has a rack which WiFi modem at there. The password is stick on the modem. I did not have time to try for its WiFi so I not sure the WiFi is strong or not but most probably I think the WiFi should be ok.

The homestay feature a full kitchen with gas stove, full-sized refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster, and others kitchenware. The supermarket is just across the road and you can buy ingredients at there.

Beside dining table near with living room, it also has another dining table which near with kitchen, refrigerator, utensils (spoon, plate etc) and oven.

One of the main features is the backyard patio/garden which is suitable for family BBQ or tea time. The backyard is so nice with mushroom design furniture. The time I went, the grass was longer.

Beside backyard, at the entrance there also has a table and chair.

At downstairs has a room which has single bed. Inside room has many extra beds and blankets.

Near with single bed room has a toilet.

At upstairs, beside rooms you can see sofa and table.

It has 3 rooms at upstairs. It has 2 rooms which sharing same bathroom.

The first room is my room which I stayed with another friend. Beside bed, it has a rack. All the rooms are equipped with air-conditioner. The air-conditioner in my room seems very old but very powerful because both of us feel very cold at night. I dislike the door because the door is so noisy when I close it.

The connected bathroom’s water of heater is not strong so most of the time I used water hose when bath. Homestay is not a hotel so remember to bring own toiletry.

This is another room which share same bathroom with my room. This room is bigger than my room because it has a makeup table and cupboard.

These 2 rooms did not have switch for handphone charging. Most of the time, I charged my handphone at living room.

This is master room which can accommodate more people. Beside air-conditioner, it also has a ceiling fan.

The room is big which has refrigerator, makeup table, television and big cupboard.

Inside of master room has own bathroom.

For those interested with this homestay can take a look at the business card which I took picture of. This homestay is not in town area so for those wish to go town to find cat statues, you need to have a transport.
