Welcome to The Namho House, a hidden gem nestled in the charming town of Bonghwa in Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea. This traditional hanok, known as Bonghwa Namho Gutaek, dates back to the Chosun period and is a designated Cultural Property Material, showcasing the rich history and heritage of the region.
Built in 1876 by Nongsan Kim Nam Yeong, this 140-year old house has stood the test of time thanks to its high-quality materials and the dedicated care of its descendants. Stepping through the Sosel Daemun gate, you’ll feel a sense of reverence as you enter a space that exudes tradition and elegance.
The hanok is surrounded by a captivating garden and a vibrant flower bed that changes with each passing season. As you wander through the yard, you’ll be enveloped by the scent of old trees, offering a tranquil space to unwind and find solace away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
In 2016, the shared toilet facilities were renovated to provide modern comfort and convenience for our guests. We understand the importance of ensuring a comfortable stay, and our attention to detail extends to every aspect of your experience.
For those seeking a taste of Korean culture, our spacious yard offers opportunities to engage in traditional games such as Tuho, Jegichagi, and Neoltuigi. Immerse yourself in these beloved pastimes and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
