The most comfortable place I've stayed in HK, that we wanted to stay home most days and not go to the city! Usually on our annual trips to HK, we stay in hotel in the city and not come back til very late at night. Plus factor is that we can cook (bought newly-caught fish at the port), and we have Marjorie, really friendly, who helped us in every way she can. She went with us to downtown, and showed charming areas around. The 3-story place is really clean, and we can hang-out in the living room, kitchen and library, these areas have big windows so you can enjoy the views. Kitchen is huge & super nice! Our bedroom has a balcony where you can have coffee or read. We had our own bathroom, we were provided with clean, fresh towels. Walking distance to great seafood restaurants, water sport center and many quaint shops. Walking to downtown will give you nice view of mountains & ocean, feels safe. It is also bus or MTR away from the city, has fast wifi, and Marjorie made delicious, hot breakfast for us. We can have coffee anytime of the day, fresh juice is also available.. The house and Saikung place were so relaxing, we never wanted to leave on our last day.
Our host, Phil, was a wonderful host, great to talk to as he is well-traveled,and works in hotel business. He also let us browse or read his books. He made us very comfortable, and made sure that Marjorie did, too. He was quick to answer our queries. He also has an adorable cat named Lola.
Saikung also offers other cuisines like Italian,American,Thai and other Continental fare. The area is also good for hiking, and you can go island-hopping (people thought HK is only good for shopping). We will definitely go back to Phil's place, even our family and friends are excited to stay there. Very happy that we found a place like this in HK.
