Cozy village house is in a beautiful tranquil location facing the mountains and was very quiet for sleeping. It was spotlessly clean. I would describe it as a studio flat. The kitchen is well equipped with a proper oven. There is a bus stop in both directions just 2 minutes away at the bottom of the drive.
It is about 7 minutes on the bus to Mui Wo which has 2 supermarkets and a lovely friendly bakery/ coffee shop. Try the sourdough bread, freshly baked all day. It also is a delicatessen with cheese and a selection of pastries and wine.
Mui Wo has a good choice of restaurants:
The China Bear pub on the waterfront is a pleasant place to wait for the ferry or recover from a shopping trip in Central!
Bahce facing the bus station is a Turkish restaurant with good wine and a varied menu. The kebabs with pitta and humus are delicious as is the baclava and Turkish delight if you have a sweet tooth.
On the same strip just behind the Bear is The Deer Horn, a Nepalese restaurant with a varied menu and pleasant welcoming owner.
Facing the sea standing at the Bear and to the right on a corner is the Kitchen which is good for lunch or dinner. Pizzas are very good and freshly cooked but the menu has a lot of choice.
Walking round the bay on the promenade there is a lovely casual place called the Beach Club for drinks or a meal. The outside terrace is lovelyon a warm evening with the sea lapping below.
Finally slightly to the left on the promenade walk follow the path passing the post office and Starbucks you will find The Streep restaurant which combines a good Asian menu with a South African slant too. The wine is good and May, the owner is friendly and helpful. Prices fair. They also do a good value set lunch. ( closed Mondays).
The above are all cheaper than eating in Central.
If you are looking for a hectic nightlife then you may find Mui Wo and Pui O a little on the quiet side.
There are many beautiful trails across Lantau for serious runners/walkers but also short walks for the less ambitious.
Mui Wo has fast (30 minutes)ferries to Central Hong Kong and slow (about 50 mins) ferries too. A very enjoyable ride. Alternatively you can catch a 3M bus to Tung Chung over the mountain and catch the MTR train to Central (40 mins on bus )then
30 mins on train to Central. Longer but sometimes useful at night as more taxis from Tung Chung than Mui Wo.
