The rooms are spacious and clean, and breakfast was included. While not centrally located, hosts offered to drop me off each day.

Great option! The host is kind and is willing to drive you to the bus station. Big rooms with hot water/towels/hair dryer and simple dinner as an option.

I was given very good service. The shuttle service was really good. You just called and a very few minutes the car was there.

Stayed in February 2025

The place is quiet and cozy, run by a lovely family. You can feel they really care about their guests. It has a beautiful view of a tea plantation right in front, it's next to a great coffee shop, and there are a few walks you can do nearby. It's a bit of a ride to get to Alishan national park but the host always kindly offers to drive you to the nearest bus stop to get around. She was always asking us what we wanted to do and was very helpful. She doesn't speak English but uses a translator app on her phone so communication was always smooth.

Excellent and warm host. Delicious and homely dinner made with local/own grown produce. Host is available to fetch you from Shizhuo bus stop to the stay from 2PM onwards. Unless you have a car, plan your visit to Shizhuo well and choose a stay close to the things you want to see as hike trailheads/ attractions can be far apart from each other. With that said there are enough interesting things near to this stay like the coffeeshop which offers regional beans and a decent hike!

I was so, so charmed by this little bed and breakfast! It is in easy walking distance to some fantastic coffee nearby AND a section of trails (Muhi trail). The operator is also very generous and welcoming and happy to help with getting you to and from town. From town, it's a very easy ride to Alishan, which was incredible to hike through during the day. (Not sure how one might get there for the famed sunrise, though...)

None

Nice and cozy place. Wood construction gives the room warm atmosphere. Would stay again.

The water heater is a little erratic. It's difficult to control the hot water so it's either too hot or too cold.

The scenery and the host. Beautiful place and very friendly and nice host. The food is good and the DIY leather experience is something which you do not get to experience in most places but it helps to get you entertained as there is no TV in the room.

Stayed in December 2024

A unique and welcoming place to stay. As the name suggests, it's a place aboriginal craft leather carving happens but the host family also runs a lovely simple place to stay with dinner and breakfast available. Well placed in the tea gardens for the many attractions of Alishan, I heartily recommend this hostelry.

Stayed in December 2024

Minor thing - we found it quite hard to adjust the shower temperature, it varied wildly between cold and very hot. The location is really a distance away from public transport, so I recommend this place more so for travellers who are driving.

We LOVED the smell of wood the moment you enter the room! The interior design is amazing, it's very homey. The lady boss was also very kind, she shuttled us to and fro between the accommodation and Shizhuo bus stop. However, please note that this service is only available from 2pm onwards, as they are very busy in the morning. They have a few kittens and a small aviary at there, which is a nice treat to see!

The connection is better with self driving .

Super friendly owner and great environment with beautiful tea farm view. The room is well built with wood and clean. Many cute animals and plants.

Nothing bothered us

Very positively surprised by this homestay! The bungalow was super comfy, quiet and had beautiful views into the forest and the tea fields! The location is very convention if you have a car - close to the town and hikes! The host was very lovely and we got along with the translation app. What we loved most was the homemade dinner (350 per person) - it was so delicious and varied. Breakfast was very typical Taiwanese (rice, cabbage etc.) but also very tasty 😊 overall, a very lovely and memorable stay in the middle of the tea area

Stayed in November 2024

Mattress wasn't so comfortable.

Loved the ambience of the homestay with its view over the tea plantations, the garden with all the animals, and the fact that it was a drive away from Alishan National Park. We wouldn't have enjoyed staying in the park so we were happy that we rented a car. It gave us more flexibility (and you could park at the homestay). The accommodation was spacious and clean, the food was tasty and the hostess was super friendly. Despite her not speaking any English, she made it work with her translation app. Thank you for the hospitality! We would stay here again!

It might be far from the center but I believe the host offers to pick you up and drop you off at the bus stop if you’d like. I recommend you rent a car like we did, you will enjoy the scenery very well.

We are already planning our next stay here again next year. That’s how we loved our time here, we regret not staying here earlier and longer. The host, 邱梅惠, was the best. She tried her best to speak to us in our language (through a translator app). She laughed when we made mistakes, which made us very comfortable and at home. It’s so peaceful here and the ambiance is just beautiful. Her pet birds wake you up very nicely in the morning and she serves a very healthy and hearty breakfast that we appreciated even if it was mostly vegetables. The room is VERY BIG, CLEAN, and COZY. You get a beautiful view of the forest and the sound of the river. I recommend requesting for the room in the farthest right to get a view of the mountains.

It was quite far from everything so there is no opportunity for grocery shopping

It was nice and very clean!

Stayed in August 2024

The breakfast and evening meal were very traditional and may not be to everyone's taste but are freshly made.

The cabins were well set out, spacious and nice and clean, The accommodation has parking right outside the accommodation. The hosts used google translate to good effect when we checked in which was good.

Stayed in June 2024

This is a super place, right in the middle of the tea plantation and bamboo forest. We left the windows open while sleeping and really sounds like you are in the wild! The place is also super cute and most importantly very clean!! The host was amazing and help us with bus timings and she would drop us and pick us up. No one spoke English, but this was no issue via using translator apps. We recommend this place!!

The hotel structure was quaint and different from the usual accommodations in Taiwan.

Stayed in May 2024

Really special place to stay, host provided free transfers from Shizhou bus station which was really convenient. The room is gorgeous with huge windows overlooking the bamboo forest. Food is delicious and fresh. The host also took us a on a walk after dinner to view fireflies which was so magical!

Our host Jin is superb friendly and helpful. She tried her best to help us and make sure we are comfortable during our stay. Her husband and she even went beyond their way to help us commute to the bus stations and rescued us from a missed bus on a rainy day. Their foods were amazing in a home-cook style. Highly recommended their homestay and the services.

Beautiful location, near by good cafe, nice view on the tea plantage, nice big room, very clean.

Nothing . The owners are very hospitable.

The owners were so helpful. Jing offered to pick me up from the bus stop. I walked . It took a leisurely 35 minutes. About 80 % of the way, an older couple with the ubiquitous small 4 wheel drive mini truck gave me a ride.I sat on the bed. As you can see the locals are warm and welcoming. The next day the owner took me to a trail head to hike and offered to pick me up . I walked back. I went to buy tea. The owner insisted to take me to town. The hotel is a garden of eden. It is decorated in lights and appears like a shining crown amongst tea plantations. There is a big bird cage filled with mor 20 colorful birds. Some birds appeared to follow me. There is a black and white cat. 3 dogs that you only see if you stay behind after breakfast. I saw 2 of them. A sausage dog and a bull dog. In the dining room is an enormous fish tank.There are bananas that you can help yourself. The dinners and the included breakfast were delicious. There are many kinds of orchids. They are amazing. Jing has a leather workshop that you can buy her labor of love. The room is big. It has a sofa, a heater, electric water kettle and tea bags. The wifi worked reasonably well . You can better reception in the dining room. There are seating areas in the front patio.
