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.

We booked this vacation villa because of the great reviews here on trip advisor and it was a highlight of our stay in Chiang Mai. They picked us up at the airport and welcomed us warmly. Peter, Pai and their daugter Isabella went out of their way to make our stay incredible. Don't eat dinner anywhere else...the 3 course dinner... More

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

We chose to book the Secret Garden on the back of their amazing reviews and were relieved to find it amazing too, beautiful gardens, birdsong night and day. Lovely food we ate there every night, and a great honesty bar making it simple to get good drinks when you wanted them. We loved the relaxed atmosphere, our son made freinds... More

This gorgeous place is possibly the best hotel experience I have ever had. It was a home away from home except it was peaceful, tranquil and set amoungst beautiful gardens with birds chirping and their pet dogs running around and playing together.

Visiting Chiang Mai was a nice balance to our week in the islands. We were lucky enough to catch Peter, Pai and daughter Isabel before they left for their respite in Spain, resulting in The Secret Garden's closure for two months. Once you stay here, you will see why they need a break-- all three of them work around the... More

My partner and I stayed for 5 nights on our way South to Koh Samui.

We have just returned to UK after an extended trip round Thailand and Bali. The Secret Garden just outside Chiang Mai was recommended by friends and came after bustling Bangkok, demanding Kanchanaburi and fascinating Ayutthaya. Being adventurous, we had arrived hot and flustered off the night train after a three-hour delay (not unusual) to be met by the daughter of... More
