Botanica Guesthouse

Botanica Guesthouse is a small, lovingly maintained property tucked into Kep's lush interior, surrounded by a tropical garden that the French-Cambodian owners have cultivated with passion. Rooms are simple but tasteful, with wooden furnishings and mosquito nets, opening onto the garden where tropical birds flit between frangipani and bougainvillea. A small pool is hidden among the greenery, and the communal breakfast area serves excellent coffee and fresh fruit each morning. The guesthouse feels like staying at a friend's country home — intimate, peaceful, and far from the noise of more touristed areas. The crab market and beach are a short tuk-tuk ride away.
