“Helpful hint ?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 June 2013 NEW

We stayed at the Secret Garden for 4 nights in Oct. '12 and had the same experience as virtually everyone else who has posted here. It is a sweet little refuge outside Chiang Mai and after a day in the city ( and it IS a city ) it is truly a return to the oasis. Beautifully landscaped, quiet, with... More

“Better late than never!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 June 2013

How time flies. I have been meaning to write this and just got busy. Sitting back in Melbourne on a cold winters night it is easy to drift off and reminisce my time in Chiang Mai and the Secret Garden. In Feb this year we spent 3 weeks, mostly "1st Class" in Thailand and had a great time. Then we... More

“Wonderful stay and great for couples!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2013

We chose to stay at the Secret Garden primarily because of the fantastic reviews read on TripAdvisor. We were not disappointed! Whilst travelling around Thailand we were fortunate enough to stay in some amazing places but Chiang Mai and particularly the Secret Garden was by far the best place! There are many reasons to stay at this wonderful and unique... More

We stayed at the Secret Garden for 5 nights in late April. Lovely setting and amazing staff - even though we were in the last week of their season and they were a bit over it! We travelled with 3 small children - 2, 4 & 6 and they loved it. The bungalow (Morning Glory) was large enough for us... More

Beautiful setting, extremely friendly staff, large clean rooms, what more can you ask for! This is truly a place to go and relax and escape. We unfortunately didn't get a chance to try Pai's cooking, but the other guests raved about it. Loved the honesty bar and the whole dining area. We met other guests in the dining area for... More

“A real jewel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2013

Visiting Secret Garden was a fantastic part of our trip to Thailand. Everyone was so helpful with assisting us with our activities (gave suggestions on places to go, helped arrange transportation, etc.). Definitely a unique place. After being in Bangkok, waking up at Secret Garden to the sound of birds was a nice change.

“A true oasis with the best hosts ever!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2013

The Secret Garden is a true oasis! We were here on our honeymoon and couldn't have picked a better spot. This is not in the center/busy part of Chiang Mai, which I think is far better. They are willing to drive you around to various spots and even give you a cell phone to call if you have any problems!... More

First time to review something on TripAdvisor but Secret Garden warrants it. Amazing chilled out place, you don't feel the 12km distance from chiang mai with available mopeds at only 150 baht a day, or a 30 baht taxi from nearby 711. Its a zenned out place to stay while expolring Chiang Mai. Peter and Pai and their daughter Isabel... More
