Near the ocean, at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by jungle and a coconut plantation, the two hosts Mook and Rick have set up a resort and dog shelter which ticked all the boxes for me. The place is lush and tranquil, and the dogs are well cared for and living their best lives. My bungalow was spacious and spotless with a modern A/C and a refrigerator with cold water. The food is as authentic as can be, cooked up by Thai native Mook, while you chat and enjoy a cold drink at the bar. I cannot overstate how great these dishes were. Fresh, varied and unbelievably tasty. The hosts themselves made every effort to engage and make my stay comfortable. They're friendly and funny, with strange and interesting stories to tell. Rick caught me driving off with a flat tire. Not only did he change the tire to a spare but arranged for the flat one to be fixed at the local mechanic the same day. Thanks buddy. If you are a dog person, this is where you go. If you are not, I'd recommend alternatives. I stayed 3 nights as a solo traveler, looking for a peaceful place to read my books. I found what I was looking for and much more.

There was nothing not to like. Rick (DJ and music producer) and Mook (boss and chef) were just the best hosts....you were looked after like you were family.... Mook cooked the most delicious food (best masaman I've ever had) Such a great place to just chill after venturing out

Didn't like that we only booked 3 nights..could have stayed a lot longer.

Beautiful teak bungalows, cosy and very comfortable. Good a/c, lovely bed, spacious bathroom and your own veranda. Hosts were always on hand, generous with their time and attention and couldn't have been more helpful. The food was lovely and all cooked to personal order.

I would recommend your own transport as it's a little off the beaten track. If you are at all nervous about dogs this might not be a good choice for you. They are all friendly though.

What an amazing location! We didn't have a car but the owner was happy to supply transport to local caves within the National Park. We stayed 4 nights and ate in their on site restaurant every night as the authentic and varied menu was perfect. The nearby beach is accessible down a quiet country track and it's possible to walk for miles in the sand at Dolphin Bay with a few quiet bars. You must try Mok's Thai breakfast - it is to die for! We tried many others during our trip to Thailand and this was the best by absolutely miles!!!

A sprawling lawn with views of the mountain. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to that. Rick and Moo were excellent hosts, and Moo a fabulous cook. Its amazing what she whips up in that pit with so much ease. My son Charlie had the most amazing time hanging with their extended family - 19 dogs counting - and was particularly sad to leave Chubby! Rick was super charming with Charlie and regaled him with stories of the dogs that kept him much entertained.

This place is such a star in the middle of the natural area next to the national park, surrounded by mountains, near to the beach, close to all the highlights of the national park. Absolutely incredible location. Hosts are so great, your stay will be truly like being at home. I highly recommend this place.

There is nothing not to like! Everything is great. Their location is even pet-friendly and I was very pleased with the treatment and facility.

Mok & Rick are exceptionally welcoming hosts! The food was amazing and I really enjoyed chatting about music over a couple of drinks late into the night. If you’re looking for a quiet place to relax or start you’re day trip from, this is it. If you’re a dog lover, you’ll probably have a hard time leaving (currently counting 19 furry friends on the grounds).

Rick & Mook just are wonderful, down-to-earth people. Good relaxing vibe. They do great work for stray-dogs. Taking care of them. The food is just smashing. Mook's massaman is superb. The beach is about 1 km away.

. Great hosts and great location Owners Mook & Rick are great host's. We brought our old dog with us and they were great looking after him while we went out. Location is set amongst nature but rooms have a/c , good hot water, clean and comfortable. Location is easy distance from all attractions in the area. Highly recommend for people who want something a little different from a boring hotel room but still want comfortable rooms.

Mok and Rick are wonderful, they know how to make guests feel welcome, and they make delicious meals and drinks (we loved their soups, pork larb and fruity cocktails). They showed us around and provided us with valuable tips for our visit to the national park. We had a wonderful stay here, and thus stayed there one night longer. The bungalow is very well built and spacious, it even had a nice swing chair to enjoy the view. Last but not least, we enjoyed the company and charm of their rescued dogs.
