Guangzhou Outdoor Homestay

Beautiful hotel, garden and different buildings. The owners are interior designer and furniture designer so the decoration is quite well done. Handmade hundun for breakfast were generous. Location is a bit hard to find and reach, so plan time, especially if you need a didi to travel. Room was clean and despite the cold outside the heating was working well. Highly recommended !

This was by far the most amazing place I've ever stayed in. It was so much more than I expected. It is not only conveniently located accommodation within easy driving distance from a number of scenic spots, it's a destination in itself. Comprised of 19 buildings, lovingly reconstructed from the salvaged materials of 40 historic buildings that were demolished in different provinces, the Inn has been a 20 year labour of love. Woodland gardens connect the buildings, pavilions edge a lake, and every detail conspires to create a peaceful haven that celebrates and preserves Chinese culture and history. I tasted the best teas China has to offer, I admired every perfect detail created by the talented couple who own the place - he, one of China's top bamboo furniture designers, she a successful interior designer, I ate incredible food prepared by their gifted chef - 3 artists working together to create a truly unforgettable experience. My room was warm, quiet, comfortable and affordable. The proprietress speaks great English. They are a lovely family. I feel like I made new friends, and I'll definitely be going back.
