41 cottages are dotted around the hill leading down to Tongsai private beach. They are well hidden by the existing trees which only a few of them were cut down when we first built the cottages.

Being situated on a different location, each cottage has individual characters, the variation in shape, size and angles of scenery. The standard sizes of cottages are 68-78 m2 and can only take 3 people maximum.
