3 storey huge comfy house to fix all my 13paxs family members. The house was clean and tidy, a complete facility with all the necessities, an auto mahjong table also brings a lot of joy for my family. The owner was also a super responsive and helpful person, i was a forgetful person and left my things in the fridge and I contacted the owner to help me keep and collect them later. Owner still offers to help send the items but I don't feel good to trouble him since it is my own mistake so I arranged a grab express! Overall me and my family have a happy stay with Jiale homestay:)

Looking for a vacation home?

Great for families or large parties, vacation homes are privately owned accommodations, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities, though breakfast might be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different than apartments.

    Very clean and extremely comfortable bed. Staff could not do enough for you. Love buildings and water sports activities which we enjoyed very much Food first class Whole place was fantastic. We stayed in the garden wing and it was lovely. Best to sit outside when eating as it can get noisy with kids at mealtimes inside. Loads of dining options Highly recommended Even a little cake and a happy birthday message for him
