Nature Hill

Beautiful clean, AC bungalows with very few mosquitos (really don’t worry, spray yourself and you will be fine) . Su’s fruit yogurt muesli breakfast was fantastic and we still wish we were there to have it now!! 5 star! They will arrange everything from taxis for dinner out to trips! Only 300m to the beach where seating is free and drink and food service excellent by local street venders.

I'm writing this review a year after our 5 day family stay (2 adults, 3 children), partly due my laziness, but largely remembering the felt need to do so giving the lasting positive experience. This was an August visit, considered to be out of season. Nonetheless, we encountered excellent weather, with rain only in the later evening (and one awful morning on departure, detailed below). You'll find detailed throughout TripAdvisor that the island is beautiful and the accommodation is within a 5-10min walk from a picturesque beach. Most days we had the beach to ourselves. Tours to sites of interest can be booked in the village or through Nature Hill. Tours can be slightly more economical via the former option, but i would always arrange transport through the latter. Nature Hill places you back with nature. It's rustic accommodation, which is very well maintained, with hot water readily available, and free fresh drinking water. Mosquitoes were around,not to the extent it was problematic. We shared a unit which fitted all five comfortably, with an outside area, and fans internally for cooling, albeit not required. The mattresses are of a good standard and linen clean. As it was out of season, many eateries on the island are not open. We did try others but the food cooked at Nature Hill was far superior, with good options for plant based. The family and staff will do their uppermost to ensure your stay is pleasant. It was this immense show of consideration which prompts this review. We had to get to Koh Tao following our departure from Koh Muk, bringing various logistical challenges, and this is where Nature Hill's loving approach shone through. They arranged seamless transport, from leaving the accommodation at 4am, the boat waiting at the port to take us to mainland (still in pitch black darkness) the vehicle to take us to the next port, land transfer, and the ferry to Koh Tao. Everything went smoothly in an admirable fashion. At 4am when we left the accommodation the owner and his wife were there in the torrential rain to see us off, holding umbrellas, and to ensure the taxi was operating promptly; a loving approach to customers.

Very friendly, family run, truly international, independent place to stay. We felt most welcome, always the will of our hosts to help us work out a plan to improve our holiday. The accommodation is stylish, comfortable, clean and reasonably priced, just minutes from one of the islands most beautiful beaches. Water refill at reception is the perfect solution to reducing plastic waste (feel free to collect rubbish when you see it, that inspires others). We hope to return one day, a really genuinely lovely place. Merci to our hosts!

Very authentic, natural experience only a few minutes walk away from the beach. The hosts Su and Neil are very welcoming and do everything for a comfortable stay. Definitely for anyone who wants to experience nature with the stay in the huts. So nice to take a shower and have the breeze of the fan. The balcony invites to relax with a drink and calming look on to the trees. Must try on Koh Mook.
