This place is really quaint and set in a beautiful area. The waterfall is nearby (if you want to walk 20 mins) and a humane elephant sanctuary is close by as well. We went to both and the hotel was convenient for this. The owners are quite nice, they live on the compound and have two cats and children. They were accommodating and humble.

Wonderful place
Moonlight is tucked away in a neighborhood which definitely yielded a quite nights stay. The property and room was immaculate. If you don’t have a car or motorbike, there is not much for eating options. Closest restaurant is 10 miles walk, but probably the best food that I have had in Phuket. For me, the only downside to Moonlight was the bed. I fully understand that mattress firmness is highly subjective, but the mattress in my room was as firm as tile floor. Owner is extremely nice. Woke up to a small box of sticky rice treats and she even drove me to the pier.

A bit of nature!
Very comfortable and breakfast was a wonderful treat! We loved the pastry and sticky rice cooked in a leaf. A beautiful spot with lots of birds in the morning especially. The only downside is that it is a bit isolated. A vehicle would be useful although we walked to an excellent restaurant. Was 2 km and a few hills but good exercise so we didn't mind. Although it wouldn't be a walk for everyone.Saw interesting things along the way such as a woman taking her cows home for the night.

Lovely place to stay whilst passing through to one of the islands off Phuket. Room was clean and tidy all mod cons included, great value for money. We were provided with fresh fruit the next morning which set us up for our trip. Owner took us to the pier the next day and was so helpful thank you.

Excellent location, very quiet, still close to the main road. The room and the bathroom have all you might need. We had a car, but the owner can arrange pick up and transport. The place is close to Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (1.5 km), THE ONLY Elephant SANCTUARY in Phuket (not a tourist attraction but a place which actually cares about a few old and injured elephants) and Ao Po Pier. We were welcomed in 10 mins from the time of the booking and surprised with tasty breakfast in the morning.

Only stayed for one night but could not have been made more welcome on our first night in Thailand. The room and amenities were spot on - very impressive even by Western Standards. The owner kindly arranged onward transfer for the following morning (taxi to the pier) and greeted us in the morning with a delicious Thai breakfast to send us on our way. The pot noddles and snacks (small charge) in the room made sure we were fulfilled for dinner. The hotel is down a side street and at night it’s very dark so not really an option walking to the local stores for food. Would definitely stay again, and we stayed before onward transfer to Santhiya Koh Yao Yai resort.

Perfect spot
We arrived late in the evening and the owner was very accommodating letting us have a late check in. He drove us to the ferry the next morning too. Friendly & smiley. Rooms were really big, v clean & had everything we needed. Beautiful, quiet location. The beds were a bit hard & uncomfortable and the restaurant for breakfast was closed. Its worth checking on that before you go. I would highly recommend & we could easily have stayed for longer

All I wanted
I have stayed here once before and I loved it just as much this time around. Close to the gibbon rehab center as well as two ethical elephant sanctuaries, also close to Bangrong Pier from where you can take a boat to the Koh Yao islands. A 7-11 and supermarket about a 10 min walk away. Quiet area away from the hustle and bustle. Free bicycles to explore the area and the option to hire a scooter. Airport transfers can be arranged by the property. Restaurant next door serves yummy breakfast. Dinner can be ordered to be delivered to your room. The room is spacious and clean. Good WiFi. Snacks (at a fee) and free water available in the room. The owners are lovely and helpful. I felt at home and would certainly stay again. Thank you.

We arrived at the Moonlight Cottage at 02:00 A.M. after a 33 hour trip to get to Phuket. We were met by the owner who showed us our rooms, which were spacious, clean and very well maintained. The area is very quiet, but there really wasn’t much to do or see. We only stayed for two nights and the restaurant was closed for one of the days, which was a shame, because the breakfast we were served was absolutely wonderful. If you are looking for quiet isolation, this place is amazing.

The stay is perfect if you just need a quiet getaway with your spouse. We stayed as we needed to get to the harbour nearby, but what a surprisingly nice find! The place is beautiful & spotlessly clean. Only downside is that it's not walking distance from local restaurants when you need dinner, but the recept can easily arrange for a shuttle to bring you out. Will surely visit again if heading to anywhere around that area.

A small "boutique" property with an extremely friendly owner/manager. The staff was exceptionally kind, accommodating and more than happy to share local knowledge about places to visit and interesting sites. I only wish we could have stayed longer. As an aside, I loved how easily the huge sliding doors slid open and closed.

Nice country cottages
Nice set of 4 cottages in the country, next to a large National Park. Five minute drive to the entry of the park and the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project. Also very close to the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (5-8 min drive). Has a small restaurant out back which serves organic food grown by the staff. Room was modern and comfortable. Very quiet as no nearby buildings.

Dreamy Countryside Getaway
Moonlight Cottage is a dream if you're looking to get away and be in the countryside of Phuket. Husband and I stayed here when we planned on visiting the Phuket Elephant Sanctuary (10 minute drive away) and Bang Pae Waterfalls (20 minute walk away). Although not a walkable area, you can rent a motor bike to get around (since we only stayed two days, we just used Grabtaxi). The rooms are clean and the environment is peaceful. The hotel has its own restaurant - service is very slow but well-worth the wait; it was probably some of the best tasting Thai food we had on our trip. The sweet lady who runs the whole shebang was also very accommodating to us and allowed us to check-in early AND check-out late. Will definitely be staying again here in the future.

Best stay ever
It's away from Phuket town which is exactly what I intended. I stayed for 8 nights, it's near the Gibbon Rehab Project and therefore near a nationalpark that also features a lovely waterfall. Bang Rong pier to catch a boat to Koh Yoa Yai or Koh Yoa Noi is only a few minutes away by bike. Wifi working well. Had breakfast and dinner most days, made by a lovely lady, at the guesthouse-owned restaurant a few meters away. Yummy food and great service. Friendliest family business I have encountered. Bed size great, clean room and bathroom, air con working well, quiet area, good sleeps. Will def stay again. If you're looking for a serene place away from the busy Phuket, this is your place. Free push bike hire too.

Immaculate hotel, helpful and friendly owners.
We stayed one night at this hotel on the way to Koh Yao Yai and it was perfectly located to the boat service to the island. The owners are very helpful and friendly and took us down the pier in the morning as well as ransacking our room for us to find what we thought was a lost phone. Room was very clean and comfortable and the location peaceful and welcoming. We enjoyed staying here a lot more than in bigger hotel or resort. Highly recommended.

Sehr ruhig gelegenes Hotel mit spitze Personal
Wir kamen spätabends an, würden aber super nett begrüßt. Alles wurde uns ausführlich erklärt - auch wie wir am nächsten Morgen weiterfahren können und wie viel wir für welches Verkehrsmittel zahlen sollten/müssen. Es gibt auch ein sehr idyllisch gelegenes kleines Restaurant neben dem Hotel. Haben dort gut gefrühstückt und wurden dann zum Bang Rong Pier gebracht. Kann das Hotel wärmstens empfehlen! Nur die harten Matratzen wären auf Dauer nichts. Aber nach dem langen Flug waren wir nur froh die Beine hoch zu legen.
