About this property
Wat Damnak House
Wat Damnak House is a traditional Khmer villa with modern amenities and a private tropical garden with a natural pool.
Located behind the oldest pagoda in town, it is in a quiet and safe position in the popular Wat damnak district.
At walking distance there are some of the best bars and restaurants and a lively neighborhood that blends local life with tourist facilities.
The Old Market and the nightlife hubs, Pub Street and Night Market, are only ten minutes away by foot or three minute by tuk-tuk.
The building preserves all the cosy charm of a traditional Cambodian wooden house while it tastefully combines both modern and comfortable amenities.
There are five beautiful rooms each with en-suite bathroom, wardrobe, minibar and safe, and a comfortable communal living room with kitchenette, where you can prepare and enjoy your own meals or be served by our staff on request.
The tropical garden surrounds a natural swimming pool that avoids the use of chemicals thanks to water lilies, lotus flowers, and other plants, which filter the water.
A neutralizer provides a refreshing sensation while sunbathing.
A small wooden structure next to the pool offers shed in the hot hours and shelter from humidity at night. On request we can serve meals or you can have a traditional Khmer massage on the spot.
Banana, coconut and mango trees as well as passion fruit plants and fragrant flowers round off the sensual experience of this tropical oasis in the heart of the town.

About the host
Hosted by Somneang Leang
My name is Neang that in Khmer means ‘woman’. I was born in 1990 in Siem Reap, near Angkor Wat.
I manage a traditional Khmer villa that belonged to my grandmother, and other traditional wooden houses that I found and restored with my brother, who is an architect.
The first house that we renovated was built in 1979, right after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. It was the house where I spent my childhood playing in and around, but it was later abandoned and so it remained for many years.
With the same spirit we gave other traditional wooden houses a new life. We renovated them to provide a high standard of comfort, but we also wanted to preserve their original features, so that everyone can experience Cambodian hospitality in a traditional home.
