An excellent 3-night stay
The homestay is situated right on the main road up to Alishan, had comfortable rooms and delicious fresh breakfast. The best part, though, was the owners Dany and Dora who got in touch a few days before our stay with information regarding getting there and made arrangements accordingly. If you are going by public transport, they offer to pick you up too! Dora was extremely helpful and helped me book my bus tickets to Taipei as the website was in Chinese. We were happy with the location as we had our own car so it was easy to get to the restaurants and 7-11 about 5 minutes drive up from the homestay. Alishan forest recreation area was about a 30 minutes drive and Fenqihu and the beautiful tea and bamboo trails in Shizhou are 15-20 minutes by car.

Excellent sta! Super clean, tons of benefits, and above andeyond service. Fluent English speaking management with fantastic recommendations for what to do and the best way to do it. Had I to delay my trip last minute 2 times and they had no problem finding me later dates. Guided us on how to use public transportation the whole way up and have us a really good deal on some of the best tea I've ever had. Highly recommend staying here! If I hadn't had to work we would have stayed an extra night!

Dora and Danny were wonderful hosts. The room was spacious and clean except the bathroom and toilet were not separated and I found the floor very slippery after having a shower. The price we paid was relatively good but I did not realise that it was quite far from Alishan National Park.

Outstanding service and experience
Dany and Dora are outstanding hosts! My wife and I stayed only one night with the goal to see the sunrise at Alishan National Park. We took the high speed rail from Taipei to Chiayi and the bus from Chiayi to Alishan. Dany provided excellent details in clear English on how to navigate the bus system.
The explanation, suggestions and ideas about how to get tickets for the sunrise train, and where to watch the sunrise lead to an unforgettable experience for my wife and I where we watched the sunrise in a romantic location with only five other people while a mass of more than 200 crowded together in the general viewing area.
We stayed in the Alishan Tea about 9 hours, only to sleep, with the room being clean and well maintained.
Dany and Dora went above and beyond to ensure our experience was outstanding and they succeeded. The service level made our stay easy, memorable and highly impressed.

Dany & Dora really went out of their way to accommodate us, picking us up & dropping us off at bus stop, caring for our luggage while we hiked, etc. They made perfect recommendations for our needs. Would highly recommend this spotlessly clean, very affordable B&B! P.S. Hosts are English speaking

The owner is very kind. He took time to pick up our luggage from the bus stop, drive us around Shizhuo downtown, and help plan our Alishan trip. Highly recommend for people who travel using public transportation.

Comfortable room, beautiful location, and the host was incredibly helpful! She gave us all sorts of tips for places to visit, where to eat, and directions to our next stop. She also gave us a crash course in the tea produced there, along with a generous tea tasting! The whole place smells like tea. It was lovely. Highly recommend!

Amazingly nice hosts with excellent English and in a beautiful location.
If you love waking up to the smell of freshly baking Oolong tea (and drinking Oolong tea, of course), you can't go wrong with this place.
Public transport in the entire Alishan area is limited but workable and our kind hosts were astonishingly helpful both in planning and execution of our itinerary.
Simply could not have had a better stay.

Really lovely and spacious room! Hosts were very accommodating, picking me up and dropping me off at Shizhao for food and hikes. They even brought me my bags so that I could catch the bus at Shizhao right after my hike. Really strong internet connection, really quiet place for a good night’s sleep. Highly recommend!!

no frills, a little out of the way
tough to manage if you don't speak any english - the proprietor's father was on call and while he's very friendly, he doesn't speak english (i know some chinese, but am not fluent). breakfast choices are decent, sourced from restaurants nearby. dining options are limited, you will need to get a ride up the hill to the one stretch of restaurants (and 7-11 for snacks and sundries). the room is spacious but sparsely furnished - toiletries are individually wrapped for single use, the bath towel a very thin chamois-like cloth. room was cold but an electric heater was provided upon request. going up to alishan mountain is an hour-long bus ride. if you plan to see the sunrise, be prepared to catch a cab at 4:30am. !!
