Nong Mae Na accommodation from AU$42

The Good Sprawling grounds with well manicured and beautifully maintained gardens. Great for pics. Breakfast spread was decent but hardly changed. Good if you’re only staying a night or 2 max. Buggy service to and from our villa was efficient and staff helpful. The Bad Whilst they spent a great deal of effort on the exterior grounds of the resort, the actual accomodation has been sorely neglected. The interior of the villas is old and in dire need of refurbishment especially the bathrooms which have mold. The 2nd floor bedroom is so sparsely furnished we had to put our things on the floor. There was no cupboard or hangers to use and the bathroom is so cramped, the sink had to be placed outside where the “bed” was located. Each time you showered the entire WC would be wet and the old instant water heater was producing lukewarm water even at maximum setting. Not good considering it was winter. Water pressure is weak too so trying to do a quick shower due to the lack of hot water was impossible. The “bed” comprised of 2 single mattress placed on the floor next to each other; “tatami” style, and were hard while the pillows were old and lumpy. Considering the price per night, it was extremely disappointing. Would recommend to stay somewhere else but just visit for pic taking of their well maintained exterior grounds.

A little bit dated but very adequate

South facing rooms will get quite warm, even with the air conditioning cranked. The a/c control on my room was finicky when dropping the temp. Otherwise, great hotel
