Phumula Guest Cottage is a cosy, warm, wooden farm cabin, tucked away in the Yaedake hills of Motobu Town. This place is ideally located to get away from touristy spots and offers peace and quiet. Stars are magnificent on clear nights. There is a camp fire area available and ready to use. The property is spacious and safe for children to play outside. If you are looking for a space to rest, relax, retreat and get away from busy life, then this space is for you.

The space
-Large open spaces on the property. Feel free to spend time outside in the gardens and on the farm. We provide frisbee, bats, balls, badminton rackets,gate ball etc. Outside garden furniture and a hammock also on site so it’s easy and comfortable to spend time outside.

- 2 single beds. 2 floor mats. Studio style so the cottage is open plan. 4 adults can stay here but it is a tight squeeze. Highly recommended for 2 adults and if you have small children then you will fit comfortably.

- CAMP FIRE. We provide firewood and fire starters for 2000 yen per camp fire. We can help you if help is needed!

- FREE BBQ to use. (You can purchase charcoal for a BBQ after you arrive from us. It`s 600円 for small box of charcoal)

- Free coffee, tea, cooking oil, soya sauce, salt, pepper.

- Mango Farm tours available on request depending on what is happening on the farm at the time and of course the weather. (Just ask us at check in or prior to your arrival.) We only have fruit for sale in July and August. However the mangoes are in great demand and usually pre booked and ordered by end of June. Mango farming in Okinawa is unlike anything else in the world and is a really fascinating, intricate style of farming where attention to detail and perfection is essential in order to produce top market mangoes perfect for the Japanese market. We love to share our story so please ask us anytime!

There’s the Yaedake bakery up the hill. (8minitr drive or 40 minute walk UP HILL!) Closed on Saturdays. Open from 9-5pm any other day of the week. Healthy bread only sold there. Free from eggs and dairy and they use only Japanese grown wheat.

Stunning walk up to a magnificent view point from the bakery parking lot. Details are in the cottage guide book.

Beautiful sunset locations with stunning views over the East China Sea, Ie Island, Izena and Iheya Island. We will let you know once we are here to keep it our secret!

If you are wanting a truly relaxing and invigorating experience, then you can book the sea water hot towel treatment option. The therapist can only come if her schedule is open so it is best to pre-book. Each treatment takes about 50 minutes and is done in the cottage on a portable bed which the therapist brings in. For more information please ask us in a message.

Guest access
You are free to walk around the whole property, use the camp fire, BBQ set and get a feel of the farm. Just please don't go into the mango vinyl houses without us since it is a very controlled environment. If you not planning on self catering, then there is access just 15 minutes by car to nearby restaurants, a bakery and convenience shops. If you are self catering then it might help if you shop before coming! This place is truly special and very refreshing if you have time to sit outside and chill around a fire or BBQ. At night there are owls calling to each other, You can see shooting stars if you lucky, fire flies, and lots of insect noises from the bush. Kids can be outside and there are no cars driving around so its safe and comfortable for families.
Some people might feel we are a little too far off the touristy track but we pride ourselves in this fact and really want to provide guests with a holiday home experience deliberately non resort style, with space, privacy and rest.

Other things to note
We live in the mountains and jungle area of Motobu so insects are all around us. There are insect protectors on the windows but insects sometimes get in. The ants are also very persistent! Please understand this and cooperate with nature! We do provide mosquito coils for outside and mosquito mats inside and other insect repellants.
