Cozy and quiet

The place is pretty nice and comfortable, the host is friendly and nice. House is a little bit too far from local attractions. But thankfully, the owner offered us a ride to the bus stop on our last day.

10/10, great guest house and owner

Amazing guest house! The owner is so kind and made us feel at home straight away. He took us to the supermarket and for food on our first day as well as taking us to the bus terminal at the end of our trip. It’s a legit 1 minute walk from a beach and a 10 minute walk from THE most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen. Would recommend to anyone. Great value for money and the location is great. Wish we had stayed longer.

部屋もとても綺麗で安心しました。キッチンやお風呂の共用部分など女子2人旅ということもあり少し心配していましたが、オーナーや宿泊してるみなさんが優しく、とても楽しく宿泊できました。北谷町や恩納町へのアクセスも良く、様々なところへ出かけることができました。
夜は車で8分ほどの残波ビーチへ星を見に行きました⭐︎
また沖縄へ来た時は泊まりたいと思います!🫶

這裡的一切都很美好,沒有開車也能夠搭車抵達,想前往真榮田岬潛水也很方便,是個寧靜的海邊村莊,只是附近餐飲選擇不多,建議準備食材前往,有完整廚房設備可以使用,期待未來還有機會能夠造訪

・海が徒歩1分以内
・夜は海沿いで光も少ないため、星も綺麗に見えました。
・当日のお昼頃にSAPの急な予約をしても夕方のツアーに参加させていただけた柔軟性
wifi、冷房、お風呂、キッチン使用可能なども言うことなしです。
・徒歩15分、車で5分程の距離にスーパー、ドラッグストア、コンビニがあり小さめのレストランもちらほらありました。

・人との交流や一人旅には言うことなしのコスパの良さだと思います。

また沖縄に一人旅するときはお世話になりたいゲストハウスでした(^^)

좋았어요~ 여행첫날이라 늦게 도착했는데 밤늦게까지 기다려주시고 시설도 깨끗하고 주인아저씨도 정말 친절하고 좋았습니다~ 다음에도 기회가 있다면 한번더 갈만한 곳입니다~
