入住在百年老宅裏，格外令人發思古幽情。 新南一二文創商行，這棟曾經是大溪3位資深醫生之一的傅祖鑑醫師的舊居，經過百年演替及幾番轉手，留下的舊日痕跡已不多，但透過創新思維與經營方式，將老屋新妝，讓這棟3進3落的華麗空間，重新讓大家見識當時的風貌，也透過這個平台讓更多大溪夥伴嘗試以不同的方式經營在地文化，是值得嘉許與支持的青創典範。 老闆相當貼心與熱情，努力介紹在地美食與文化，想讓我們更了解大溪，以後如果有機會，我一定會留更多時間來體驗與認識這個迷人的觀光小鎮。

Our group of 6 had a very enjoyable stay here, courtesy of Peiling (the bubbly and warm owner, architect by training) and her attention to details, hospitality and importantly, her ways of how a homestay should feel like for her guests. We were told that the homestay will only accept one group of visitors to stay on any given day. As there is only a 2 pax room and a 4 pax room, that means if the 2 pax room is taken up first, the 4 pax room will be pulled (ie not available anymore). So post closing around 5pm (homestay also operates a simple cafe / retail shop showcasing local work), we actually have the whole place to ourselves (the kitchen, dining area, retail space to browse after dark), sans the owner's house and space at the back (the building is made up of 3 historic buildings, of which 1 is for homestay, 1 for owner stay, 1 for retail / cafe, including a classroom setting at loft area of cafe - which can easily host an offsite session etc). The rooms itself are located in the middle building, on the 2nd floor (one flight of steps up). First room is the 2 pax room, and then 4 pax room at the back of building. Water temperature / control in shower are great, although the knee length shower curtains mean you will get much wetter floors regardless how you shower. The location is great, central to everything (10min to thu only night market, 5min stroll to morning market, 8min to old street, 10min to watch the nightly daxi bridge light-up), and there is a breakfast shop just opposite the building, a rice store 2min away (buy some taiwanese rice back!), and a 100yo braised tofu shop (buy back the special 辣椒拌酱 for hotpot dips / gifts!). And then, this is where i think the homestay goes up a notch wrt attention to details, vs others. > Both rooms have windows that can open up well for light / ventilation, and also blinds for privacy. > The door on lvl 2 opening into the corridor (leading to the rooms), as well as room windows, all have mosquito netting built in. > You leave your shoes outside the room (as you would at home), and slippers are provided in room. > Japanese style WC / bidet is installed, and is located away from shower area (which is walk-in basis, so its good for elderly folks). > Rooms have hot / cold water flasks already pre-filled before arrival, and you can DIY more downstairs at the kitchen (as owner will retreat back to her home after 5pm closing). > The clothes rack area (with birds motif for additional hanging space), multi-level table for stuff, TV console, and of course, a nice sofa for relaxing properly in the room, let us feel more at ease then usual. > The ceiling in the rooms wasn't 'spared' - existing wooden beams are beautified with 'antlers' - check out the pic. > Peiling also shares her own local guide map of what to eat, where to explore / eat breakfast, local morning market area, which braised tofu shops to go for etc, and really goes the extra mile to showcase the history of the building throughout the cafe etc. > A parking lot is reserved outside the building, in case you are driving. Throughout our stay, we did not feel like a tourist booking a hotel, but more of a friend staying over at another's. Daxi has always been away from the limelight (vs taipei / jiufen), but i think it's time you consider to take a trip here, stay a night with Peiling with her unique homestay, and explore this historic area at leisure. In short, CP值爆表!

The best surprise! Loved this little homestay and cafe but it was not just cafe/homestay, they offered so much more. The owner couple put in so much effort to make every guest who comes by this store feel welcomed!

Nice little restaurant/cafe, good food, slick old style building.

第一次入住一百多年歷史的老屋真是很特別的感受，老闆娘是一位很親切又熱心的文史工作者，很細心的告訴我們老屋歷史及附近好吃的好玩的地方，怪不得新南12是五星評價的民宿！

老闆娘十分熱心，除了介紹房子改建歷史外，也會介紹鄰近的景點/用餐地點，如果第一次來大溪老街，住這邊真的十分方便，步行就可以到達鄰近的另外兩條老街景點，不過老闆娘說目前只有一間四人房跟一間雙人房，而且一次只接待一組客人，建議有出遊規劃可以提早約定，開車前往的話，可以停民宿門口，提前跟老闆娘說即可。

古色古香的建築、住宿的環境很不錯～重點只接待一組客人所以不會有其他住客打擾的問題，民宿老闆娘很熱心能幫忙介紹附近買的吃的逛的都沒問題👍^o^

躺著，可以看到一縷天光，隔壁剁著菜，下鍋的滋滋聲，讓我想起小時候眷村的黃昏，那時鄰居媽媽的炒菜聲也是此起彼落，菜香令人回味。
