Address: 229 Gajin Beach-gil, Jugwang-myeon, Goseong-gun, Gangwon Province (431-38 Gonghyeonjin-ri, La Haine Pool Villa J Building) Check-in: 3:00 PM Check-out: 11:00 AM Price (Rates): Room 101 / 102: 170,000 ~ 370,000 KRW (Standard: 2 people / Max: 4 people) Room 201 / 202: 240,000 ~ 450,000 KRW (Standard: 3 people / Max: 4 people) Room 301 / 302 / 303 / 304: 190,000 ~ 390,000 KRW (Standard: 2 people / Max: 2 people) I booked a stay at La Haine Pool Villa J, a private pool villa pension in Goseong. It’s a popular spot, so I made a reservation in advance. Since it was winter and a weekday, it wasn’t fully booked (reserved a week prior). There are two buildings, H and J. After much deliberation, I chose J Building, which has a total of 8 rooms. All rooms come with a spa, and 4 rooms (201, 202, 301, 304) feature private pools. The two rooms on the first floor (101, 102) have fireplaces. Among them, Rooms 201 and 202 have indoor heated pools, making them usable year-round, while Rooms 301 and 304 have outdoor pools that are available with cold water from June 1 to August 31 (additional fee for heated water). I decided to book Room 302, as the view from the third floor seemed the best, and headed out! The check-in area doubles as a café, which is open until 9:00 PM. The space was neatly organized and gave a good impression. Upon reaching the third floor, I was assigned Room 301 instead of 302. After unpacking and relaxing, I asked the owner for nearby restaurant recommendations and which room had the best view. They mentioned that in summer, Rooms 301 and 304 with outdoor pools are great, while Rooms 302 and 303 offer better views otherwise. Room 301 was nice, but I felt that Rooms 303 and 304 might offer a better sunrise view. The moment I entered, I was blown away—the view was truly stunning, just like the photos. I was so happy! This kind of ocean-view aesthetic accommodation is something I’ve only seen on Instagram. It felt like great value for money. In front of the table, there’s a spa and a sunbed. Relaxing in the spa while gazing at the ocean was pure bliss. There’s an outdoor pool available for use in summer (June to August). The room is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, induction stove, coffee pot, wine glasses, mugs, plates, pots, frying pan, wine opener, and utensils. Shampoo, body wash, body lotion, conditioner, and soap are provided. The bathroom was clean and well-maintained. The bed was spotless, and the bedding felt fresh and cozy. You can rent a smart art beam projector to project onto the wall above the bed for a comfortable viewing experience. Even without the projector, there’s a TV on both the first and second floors, so watching TV while lying in bed was more than enough.
