悟佐茶 Satori tea

The hosts are friendly and willing to fetch us from/to shi zhao bus station as we need to take the bus to HSR. The room is clean and everything we need is there. We enjoy the session of tea tasting particularly. The tea is really nice and we ended up buying a few from them. They even invite us to go to their tea farm but we do not have enough time as we need to catch the bus.

The hotel staff was really kind to drive us to dinner place and even fetch us back after dinner. She was very kind to introduce to use places of visit and even shared a great location to watch sunrise. That location wasn't even shown on google maps.

location of the place, is unfortunately pretty remote. Not good if you haven't rented a car on your own. public transport is pretty infrequent. not a lot of amenities around

We had a great tome at Satoris. The owners supplied us with insider advice and even gave us a private tour through their tea fields.

This has nothing to do with the property: The only thing you need to consider is that if possible rent a motorbike (or car) in Chiayi and then drive up to Alishan. You will save a lot of time since buses dont drive that often and some hiking trails will be far off their routes.

Relatively easy to find

The shower was old and a bit dirty. There seemed to be a working lift but no Access was offered

This guesthouse is very well located, close to beautiful Alishan hikes. Our room was very clean and spacious. The owner took every opportunity to make us feel welcome, and went out of his way to provide us with hike and sunrise information. He and his wife also took time to allow us to taste their tea, which was very good.

Staff (owner): Owner Remus and wife are kind and friendly people. Remus picked us up from the bus stop, and dropped us at the bus stop the next morning when we were leaving. He also offered to drive us to buy dinner if we needed to (although we decided not to as we still had some food with us). Both shared with us some information about tea and also brought us to view tea plantations and helped with some photo-taking on the day we arrived. Facilities: Room and bathroom were very big and clean. There was a water dispenser outside the room for you to fill hot water, so you can make drink in your room. No breakfast but 7-11 card (Twd50) provided for each guest. My purpose staying here is to visit the tea plantations, so it was very kind of the owner to bring us for a brief visit to view tea plantations when we arrived.

There was no lift here for guests to use. Do note that the staircase steps were very high, so if you have knee problems, this might be an issue. Tissue towels were provided for hygiene issue. If you prefer cloth towels, you need to buy from them. Surroundings: Out of the way and inconvenient especially if you didn't have your own transportation. Just cross the road there was a cafe but there were no restaurants that sell full meals. Also the day we arrived, there was huge fog, so I couldn't go explore the area even if I wanted to. This place is 1-hour bus journey from Alishan, so would not be a good choice if your purpose is to explore Alishan, and if you don't have your own transportation.

Cozy room with large bed.

Location is not convenient
