As I now find myself repeating more then I expected, this is my
favorite place on Railay Beach. The problem with writing these descriptions,
is the tendency to repeat yourself. This is now the 4th house that
owners have allowed us to offer for rental, so we must be doing
something right. If you've read about the others then apologies
for the rehash...
Tucked away on the far side of Railay Beach, nestled against the
limestone cliffs, are the 20 acres which make up a private community
of houses. What is so special about this place is that the land
has been developed and built on sparsely and subtly. It is as close
as it is possible to get to the feeling Railay Beach had 15 years
ago. This is not a commercial organisation, but is run by the private
individuals who own land or houses in this 20 acre sanctuary. Some
of these people rent out their luxurious houses some of the time,
mostly by word of mouth. Unusually four of these people have let
us put their houses on the web site for this year.
The Goldschmid's Krabi house Sleeps 2 people. It is private and
shaded by palm trees. The house is tucked away next to where the
edge of jungle and limestone cliffs of the national park meet. For
sitting out in the evening or early morning and watching the monkeys
or harder to spot local inhabitants, this is a top spot. It is about
150 meters from the beach.
The house has one bedroom, a bathroom and a covered outdoor kitchen.
The kitchen has a cooker and a small fridge. The bathroom is enclosed
but open. For me this takes the bathroom experience to another level.
You feel completely private but as there is no roof, when you look
up all you can see are these incredible curving colored limestone
cliffs, towering above you. It makes for the ultimate sunset shower!
The house is best suited to a couple, or a family. An extra mattress
can be provided for children.
There is no air conditioning in the house, which may be off putting
for some. However the house gets a fresh ocean breeze, particularly
in the evening. If you
want to say in secluded luxury, then this really is your best option
in Railay. It's one of the places I would like to stay most. If you can
afford it, I would strongly recommend it. When I win the lottery,
then that's where I'll be staying!
There are three rates for the house. The high season rate runs
from November 1 to April 30, the peak season from December 1 to
January 31 and the low season rates run from May 1 to October 31.
It is a good idea to make bookings at least one month in advance.
