Nestled along the river in Sai Yok district, this resort-hotel offers a glamping-style experience that combines comfortable, well-appointed rooms with an immersive natural setting. Guests consistently highlight the sense of privacy and seclusion, with rooms designed to make the most of the surrounding landscape and river views. The property maintains a serene, fairly isolated atmosphere that sets it apart from more conventional accommodation in the Kanchanaburi region. Beyond the rooms, the resort offers a range of on-site activities, a well-maintained swimming pool, and a restaurant serving food that visitors describe as genuinely good and reasonably priced. Staff receive particular praise across reviews for attentiveness and warmth at all levels of service. The combination of thoughtful accommodation, outdoor activities, and riverside setting makes it a strong choice for couples, nature seekers, and anyone looking to slow down while exploring western Thailand. Good to know: The resort's relative isolation is part of its appeal, so travellers should plan ahead rather than treating it as a last-minute booking. Kanchanaburi's most comfortable visiting season runs from November to February, when temperatures are cooler and more suitable for outdoor exploration. The surrounding Sai Yok area offers access to national parks, waterfalls, and historical sites, making this a practical base for a multi-day stay rather than a single overnight stop.

Visitor Reviews
Have travelled to many countries, and this is easily one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The space is private and beautifully surrounded by nature, with the most stunning view of the river. The facilities were excellent, and there were plenty of activities to keep us occupied throughout our stay. What truly made it special was the kindness and hospitality of the staff — they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy, from answering all our questions, preparing the activities, birthday decorations, and arranging motorcycle rental for our travels. They were always happy to help, and it did not feel like we were a bother. They were warm and welcoming the entire time, almost like staying with family, despite the language barrier. They truly embody the spirit of Thailand — "the land of smiles". Breakfast was delicious, the Thai traditional breakfast was my favourite. The rooms were also very clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway, we already miss this place and would love to return to Sai Yok again to stay here. Thank you to everyone who took care of us 😊🙏
Loved the resort. Nothing negative to comment on. Rooms are beautiful and equipped with anything you need, breakfast is great and the swimming pool well maintained. We stayed for our 12 year anniversary and they even upgraded our room to a river facing room. Wow that view. Unfortunately my partner got sick and we didn't get to do any of the activities that we planned to do, but they looked amazing.
I give it a 5 stars for the staff amazing services and care for us during our stay. The food was amazing and delicious and prices reasonably priced. For the room pls look into your shower water pressure it’s slightly underwhelming bad and didn’t enjoy it one bit. I will really recommend going there for the food even if people are not staying there.
