The house itself consists of several separate buildings set around a private garden and linked by wooden verandas and decks. These also lead to the private swimming pool that is set into the deck at the same level.
Gecko Villa is set in over 60,000 sqm. of private grounds, with a walled garden, fish ponds, and orchards where we grow a large variety of mango, banana, passion fruit and other plants including chilies, papaya, galangal, basil, lemongrass, herbs and more.
Accomodation
The property has a large air-conditioned Master Bedroom with a teak, King sized bed, en suite W.C. and sink, and adjoining garden shower. Its private veranda also boasts a hammock in which to laze under the fragrant frangipani flowers. The second and third air-conditioned and King-bedded bedrooms enjoy views over the garden and swimming pool towards the rice fields, and share an en-suite W.C. and shower.
Recreation
The hotel's billiards, garden, outdoor pool, massage are ideal places to relax and unwind after a busy day. Green Gecko is a smart choice for travelers to Udon Thani, offering a relaxed and hassle-free stay every time.
