Malee's Nature Lovers Bungalows

A wonderful rustic retreat after Chiang Mai. The grounds are a riot of orchids and flowering plants with a plunge pool and stargazing platform, The mountain towers one side and it is super quiet. Our room was clean, comfortable and Malee and Kurt werevery hospitable. Kurt guided us on an amazing (and rigorous) hike.

Comfortable and homely stay. Malee is a wonderful host and very helpful. Beautiful gardens and mountain views, delicious home cooked breakfast. We enjoyed our day trip to the waterfall and temple, and had the best chinese gyoza for lunch. Would love to stay again.

At Malee's great bungalow for any true nature lovers. Great sun deck area for mediation or yoga I was surrounded by beautiful mountain views , fresh clean air and hearing the wonderful sounds of animals and creatures in their natural habitat. My bungalow was just perfect. I wouldn't change anything as it has it own unique style. Loved my stay there.

I am a bird watcher and there were some great birds here and at the nearby monastery. It is a great location for birders!

I've stayed at Malee's a couple of times and enjoyed it in the past, so thought I stay sgain after a gap of 15 years or so. Its a great place to base yourself if you're into birds and nature, the main temple with its 510 steps within walking distance. There is limited parking available. Malee and Kurt are nice people, very friendly and keep the place looking nice. The house and bungalows are wooden, rustic-looking buildings, all wood inside. A bit dated in places but the bed was comfortable enough and it was very quiet at night. Malee does provide a breakfast and you can chose from six set menus but can't mix them, which I found a bit strange. I'd have liked muesli before my eggs but couldn't, so I think a more flexible approach would be better. The rooms have two water bottles provided and there's a kettle and tea/coffee, but there's no A/c or TV in the room and no laundry service or evening meal. I ate locally and visited a new laundrette in Chiang Dao. It's a pleasant place to stay, has mature gardens and is well situated but there are more modern places nearby if that is your preference.
