温泉でスベスベになれる快適な民宿！

白浜のビーチも歩いて数分で着き、近くのバス停からはアドベンチャーワールドへも行けるので立地はすごく良いです。夕食も朝食も地元で採れたものを振舞って頂き最高でした。スタッフさんの応対も丁寧でありがたかったです！こたつも懐かしかったし、心地良かったです。温泉も熱くて水で調整が必要な時もありましたが、ゆっくりくつろげました。ホテルとはまた違った快適さがあり選んで正解でした。

食事と温泉、女将さんのホスピタリティが素晴らしい！ 観光とハーフマラソン出場のため2泊しましたが、夕食は1泊目は海賊蒸し、2泊目は寄せ鍋、魚介もお肉もたっぷりで大満足でした。 食事の時間もこちらの都合に合わせて柔軟対応していただきました。 温泉は源泉をそのまま引いていて気持ちいい。 白良浜まで徒歩で僅か、コンビニもすぐ近くです。 民宿で古い建物なので、廊下を歩く音や雨がトタン屋根を叩く音などはけっこう響きますが、そういうのが気にならない方であればお勧めのお宿です。

さすが日本三古湯の１つ白浜温泉。首都圏のスーパー銭湯とは泉質が違う。夕食の鍋は海鮮•野菜とつけだれがマッチし暫しの幸せ時間。民宿のため部屋にトイレは無いが洗面台はあり不便さは無し。稀に見る当たりの宿。

I loved the hot springs, was said it was one of the oldest in Shirahama. Boss lady was a great person, and she served with her heart to make sure everything was fine. Food was absolutely delicious! The fishes were all fresh caught by boss lady’s husband every day. All their vegetables were from their organic farm. The view from Boukai was amazing, very close to Beach. I highly recommend this guest house, made me feel like home vacation.
