Staying at Ricky and Terry's house in the village on Lantau Island was an unexpected pleasure. We got to experience a side of Hong Kong that most people never see. Our hosts were so knowledgeable, helpful and kind - really making our stay a special one. They even took over dealing with our lost luggage so that it did not spoil our stay.

Easy 10-15 minutes by taxi from airport (take blue Lantau taxi), plus a few minutes walk with hosts on village path. Lovely and well-tended garden of flowers and fruit trees around modern house of 3 stories. Owners stay in main floor and rooms are located on the upper floors via a separate entrace. Our family room was immaculate, modern and comfortable, with everything you needed. Comfortable beds and nice view of fruit trees and surrounding mountains, with the sound of birds and the odd dog. The view from the rooftop terrace is spectacular - 360 degree view of green mountains, the cablecar, bay and buildings. We just loved sitting up there!

Terry and Ricky were perfect hosts - providing just the level of support that you needed / wanted. We got great recommendations for our meals and sightseeing. We had a fantastic day starting with a local dim sum breakfast, cable car to Big Buddah and monastary, and then bus to Tai O ancient fishing village, before returning back by bus. Terry and Ricky took us out sightseeing in the Village after our return, to an old fort, local temple and to the wetlands by the waterfront, followed by a nearby fishing village for sunset. We had such a fun time, and learned a great deal about Hong Kong, its history, culture, flora and fauna.

If you are looking for clean and comfortable accommodations and a unique and rich experience in Hong Kong, away from the chaos of Kowloon tourist districts but within easy reach by MTR, and very close to airport - this is the place to stay. Ricky and Terry are exceptional hosts!
