Kathu Waterfall Bungalow

Kathu Waterfall Bungalow Overview

You know what really caught me off guard about Kathu Waterfall Bungalow? I honestly wasn’t expecting much from a three-star place tucked away in the hills, but this little gem completely changed my perspective on what makes a hotel special. The moment you pull up (and yes, there’s actually decent parking, which is a miracle in this area), you can hear the waterfall in the distance – it’s not just some marketing gimmick name, there’s literally a cascade flowing nearby that becomes your constant, soothing soundtrack.

The bungalows themselves have this rustic charm that feels authentic rather than trying too hard. I mean, sure, you’re not getting marble bathrooms or thread counts in the thousands, but the wooden floors creak in all the right ways, and honestly, waking up to the sound of water and tropical birds beats any fancy alarm system. What really impressed me was how well-maintained everything is – the owner clearly cares about this place. The shower pressure is surprisingly strong (always a concern with these hillside properties), and the beds are actually comfortable, not the rock-hard mattresses you sometimes get at budget places. The little kitchenette in my bungalow was basic but functional, perfect for keeping drinks cold and heating up leftovers from the night market down the road.

Here’s the thing that really sets this place apart though – the staff genuinely knows the area. When I mentioned wanting to see the actual waterfall, they didn’t just point me toward the touristy spots everyone hits. Instead, they sketched out a little map to a smaller, less crowded cascade about a ten-minute walk through the jungle where locals actually swim. That kind of insider knowledge is worth its weight in gold. The location itself is perfectly positioned – far enough from the main tourist chaos to feel peaceful, but close enough that you’re not stuck if you want to grab dinner or explore. I actually found myself spending way more time just lounging on the little deck outside my bungalow than I’d planned, watching the light filter through the trees and listening to that constant, gentle water sound. It’s the kind of place where you arrive planning to just crash for a night and end up extending your stay because you realize you’ve stumbled onto something genuinely special – a proper retreat that doesn’t cost a fortune but delivers exactly what you didn’t know you needed.

Reviews of Kathu Waterfall Bungalow

• Tirmezi from Spain (10/10)

  Nice quiet location. A lot of nature around. Quite reasonable size room and good parking, bikers side and car space outside. There are some good restaurants around. The best one is from the property turn left and the first restaurant on your left hand side. Great menu and tasty food.
  There is also a friendly cat coming from next door. Very friendly host

• Stephen from Bulgaria (10/10)

  Everything, My wife was not well upon arrival and the owner jumped on her motorbike and went and got her some meds.
  When we left she carried one of our bags to the taxi and then hugged us both.
  It's very quiet and we highly recommend

• Seyed from Iran (10/10)

  First of all, I have to mention the host, who was incredibly friendly, cooperative, kind, and hospitable—a truly warm-hearted and generous person. The location is ideal, situated in a calm area surrounded by a beautiful, peaceful forest, making it perfect for relaxation. It’s conveniently located within a good distance from both Phuket Town and Patong, as well as gorgeous beaches like Kata Noi, especially if you have a motorbike. The constant sounds of birds add to the tranquility and are truly enjoyable.
  
  The property itself is wonderful, with a spacious balcony for relaxing and a large, beautiful courtyard. The AC worked perfectly, and the WiFi was superb—fast and stable. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure, and free shower gel was provided. The space was exceptionally clean, and the facilities were top-notch. The kitchen had everything you need to cook your own meals, and the beds were very comfortable.

• Sai from India (10/10)

  Location,Location& Location. It’s a few steps away from the Kathu Waterfall. Really quiet place. I rented the smaller of the 4 bungalows still more than sufficient for 1 or max 2. Patong beach is about a 30 minute cab ride. Wifi is very good. I was using a VPN router and still speed was good.

• Martina from Italy (10/10)

  It was a pleasure to stay there 10 days , very quiet, in nature, far from Crowd and 20/30 min away from everything.
  Orawan is super sweet and available all the time, she also took us to a scooter rental shop for a great deal. (no passport needed just extra 3000 bath ) price was 150bth a day.
  
  I already miss that place, I highly recommend it!
