Nanjing Homestays

"It was a very special and wonderful 2-night stay. We loved everything about the property, especially the breakfast and tea gifts. The staff, from the reception to the kitchen, and the owner, whom we ran into and had a little chat, were all so friendly, and that made you feel very much welcome. We highly recommend this property to anyone planning to stay in Taxia Village."

"Stayed here for a few days and had a great experience! The surrounding environment of the homestay is amazing. There is a mountain right outside the window and a small river in front of the door. It is very pleasant to take a walk in the evening. The room is clean and tidy, the bed is just the right hardness and softness, and the quilt and pillow have no strange smell. The bathroom and shower room are quite spacious, and hot water is always available. The boss is very enthusiastic and helps to solve any problems. It is also convenient to eat and buy things nearby, and the cost performance is really high. I had a comfortable stay this time, and I will come again next time. I also recommend it to friends who want to find a quiet place to rest!"

"Visited my ancestral traditional living squatters built as a consolidated united community for better living environments and survival. There are still many families living in the tulou. Main business is agriculture and tourism. The roads leading to the tulou are made up of irregularly shaped stones. As such, it’s not easy to pull the big luggage along (few hundred metres walk). Recommend to carry backpacks for short stays, leave the big luggage at the tourists centre. Good experience to live together with friendly people whom I can practice my Hakka. They also provide home-cooked meals, reasonable prices. Good food."

"I would like to thank all staffs for making our 2 nights stay so comfortable and amazing. They are all very helpful and their services are really wonderful. The place is very neat and clean. I brought my 16 months old girl to the retreat. They have specifically prepared her dinner based on my requirement and I must say that their food are really very delicious. Highly recommend for this retreat! Will definitely come back to this place again when I am here again."

"A very beautiful hotel with the structure in wood of an old tulou and a fishpond in the center of the courtyard. It was very peaceful. You really have the feeling of living in a tulou and you have a little balcony with a splendid view of the courtyard and the roof. You are awaken by the sounds of the birds in the morning, it is really a unique experience. The only failings : the breakfast was a bit lacking + it can be weird for some people that the bathroom and the bedroom are not on the same floor. They should also add a curtain to the window near the bed."

"We stayed in Floral Luxury.1949 Guesthouse for 1 night. We booked Mufan room located on the ground floor as i am travelling with my elderly mom and carrying heavy luggage bags. The guesthouse butler will contact you the night before your arrival to add them to Wechat for easy communication. They will share their hotel location and offer pick-up service at the train station if required. Access to Yunshuiyao town is RMB90 perpax and free for those aged above 65 years old. Yunshuiyao is a scenic town area with 3 km long (2 - 3 hours walk). We hired a chinese speaking guide to accompany us to explain the history of Huaiyan building (square tulou), Hegui building (round tulou), and the town area. It cost RMB100. The guesthouse is located inside Yunshuiyao town, behind the shop houses, in-between waterwheel and 2 trees (named as husband and wife) aged above 670 years old. When we reached there at 2.30 pm, it was raining. The hotel staff immediately came out with an umbrella to pick us up and assist with the luggage. The check-in is fast, and the access to the room is by password, which they will share in Wechat. Checkout is also very easy. The hotel offered free fruits twice a day, afternoon and evening. The basic bathroom essentials are complete, and they also provide bathrobes. The bed and pillows are very comfortable for a good night sleep. Luckily the aircond can change to warm mode as it was very cold on raining day. There's a mini kids playground for children's. The staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast set come with porridge and soya drink. Can topup if needed more. The in-house restaurant provides lunch & dinner with a la carte chinese foods menu. The sky brightens at 5 am, while the sun rises high at 6.45am. If you are able to wake up early, this is the best time for you to revisit the town and tulou surrounding area for nice photos and cool breeze as only local people around. There's a roadside stall selling super long youtiao (equal to size of 2 youtiao) located near the stone bridge not far from guesthouse. The whole Yunshuiyao town is covered with natural peebles pathway. Wear suitable shoes as it will be very slippery during the rainy day."

"The design of the homestay is very stylish, the lobby is simple and atmospheric, and the facilities in the room are very new. The bathroom is well separated from wet and dry, with sufficient hot water, suitable water pressure, and a bath is particularly comfortable. The small shop opened by the couple together includes breakfast (the boss made the meatball handmade noodles, glutinous rice), and there is a discount for lunch and dinner."

"The lady boss was very nice. Since there weren't many people there, she upgraded us to a suite. The room was very clean, the viewing platform was first-class, and it was a very distinctive homestay. The quietness at night made you feel very comfortable. When you go out, you will reach Tasha Village, a very distinctive village."

"I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to stay in a tulou after spending days checking them out, and I was lucky enough to find just one of my most favourite accommodation experiences ever - 云水谣长荣楼, the Tower of Sustained Glory, at the Ballad of Clouds and Water. Traditional tulous were poorly equiped for comfort, with claustrophobically small rooms and communal bathrooms. People didn’t choose to live this way - they had to. Luckily for us, for the grand total of $119 AUD per night, which is so modest of an amount in Australia, where I’m from, we got to stay in a 99 years old tulou renovated with modern creature comforts… and then some. Think a beautiful room dedicated to tea-making. Voice-controlled lights & music, and remote controlled curtains. A smart toilet, and one of the biggest showers I’ve ever seen, with a heater blowing warm air into the shower stall for the cold winters (although the hot water reserve is limited). Did I mention a 2m wide bed in which we slept like babies? Not to mention the building itself is of course a piece of heritage art. The few days I have spent with the tulous had thoroughly been one of my most favourite travel experiences ever."

"真的很有必要住進水雲遙裏面，一早一晚避開人潮，可以更好的欣賞土樓風貌，這個民宿位置很好，就在幾個景點的中間，去哪裡都很方便，房間非常乾淨，樓下還有餐廳和咖啡廳可以發發呆，還有小點心茶點，我們訂了兩間，其中一間有個小廳，感覺還是要訂帶小廳的好，小房間略顯擠，不太好涼衣服，不過天氣好的話，不介意的話，可以涼到外面他們涼被子的那邊棚裏，一家老小一起經營的民宿，媽媽負責廚房，煮的菜超級好吃，兩夫妻負責雜務招待客人，另一位媽媽爸爸負責收拾還做了一些話梅陳皮等小吃，味道做得也不錯，一家子一起勤勤懇懇經營，也樂也融融，突然好生羨慕，臨走還送了我們一些伴手禮，非常感謝！唯一不足可以改進的就是，淋浴間可以做個門，這樣水就不會外濺"
