Guests can choose from several bed set-ups, and the villa has a TV with satellite and cable channels, a hair dryer and towels. Because the whole villa is let at once, all three bedrooms and bathrooms are available to one party.

A washer, a dishwasher, an iron and a desk or workspace are part of the house, along with children's dinnerware, a baby bath, a crib or baby cot, and a laundromat nearby.

Kathu is an inland district of Phuket, and the villa is on Soi Tonpho there. Patong, on the west coast, is the island's best-known beach resort, and its nightlife is centred on Bangla Road. Kathu offers a quieter base away from those crowds, and the beaches of the west and south coasts are reached by road from the villa.

Within a short distance are Tiger Kingdom Phuket, 700 m away, and Kathu Shrine, a pagoda 1.3 km from the villa. Kathu Waterfall is also in the area, and Red Mountain Golf Club and Phuket Country Club are both golf courses nearby. The Phuket Mining Museum covers the island's tin mining history, and Kalim Beach, north of Patong, lies 4.5 km away. Kathu Shrine and the museum make a half-day of sightseeing close to the villa, with a swim at Kalim Beach afterwards.

For a day out, the large hilltop statue of Big Buddha Phuket is 9.4 km away, and in the evening Bangla Road, 4.6 km from the villa, is the island's best-known strip of bars. Chaithararam Temple, known as Wat Chalong, is one of the island's best-known temples and is also in the area, and Karon Beach and Kata Beach lie further south along the coast.
