Garden and courtyard setting
The property is organised around a garden and inner courtyard. Most rooms face one or both, so you get greenery from a private patio or terrace rather than a street. It's a consistent feature across all room types, from single rooms to the full vacation homes.
Standalone houses with full privacy
The Vacation Home and One-Bedroom House options are entire self-contained units, each 44 m² with a king bed, bath, balcony, patio, and terrace. They suit guests who want separation from other rooms and a more independent setup during their stay.
On-site cooking classes and cultural tours
Baannoi Nornmuan runs cooking classes and local culture tours directly from the property, both bookable at an additional charge. Bicycle rental is also available on site, which makes short exploratory trips around Chiang Mai straightforward.
Room detail and comfort
Every room has air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker, and a private or attached bathroom. The Family Suite reaches 60 m² and sleeps a mix of king and twin beds. Several rooms include a bath in addition to a shower.
