We were looking for a New Year's Eve retreat for exploration, hiking and rest and opted for the The Beach Cottage due to its proximity to Sai Kung and Sai Kung East Country Park. Could not recommend a more tranquil and cosy retreat! We had a fantastic day hiking the Maclehose Trail sections 1&2 during the day, then settled out on the private beachside for the evening with blankets and the stars to see in the New Year. Absolutely perfect.
The Beach Cottage had everything we needed - the kitchen was well stocked with basics so we could cook a delicious dinner and the bed was very cosy and comfortable. An effective heater meant that we stayed warm at night during the winter. We loved the touch of candles and blankets so that we could enjoy the beachside at night.
Karen was an exceptional host - despite being away for the weekend herself, she was so attentive via messaging and her warm hospitality could be felt from afar. Will definitely be recommending this spot for friends and family.
