哇卡飯店(Wakka)

Very nice staff, excellent experience and. Great breakfast

這是一家時尚的旅館，從宿舍到豪華帳篷一應俱全。就在海邊，風景很棒。公共空間包括咖啡廳和露台座位。早餐將在這個咖啡廳供應。新鮮出爐的羊角麵包很好吃。浴場裡只有兩個淋浴間，不過附近有水療設施，也可以去那裡。還有電動自行車租賃、小型柑橘採摘體驗等活動。我住在宿舍裡。一間房有4張床，但如果4人使用的話過道空間可能會很小。宿舍床邊設有100V和USB插座。他們還免費提供手部按摩機和加濕器的租賃服務，非常有幫助。宿舍提供毛巾、浴巾、牙刷、刮鬍刀、浴巾等生活用品。永久磨損的涼鞋。我們所有的員工都很友善且有禮貌。如果有機會，我一定還想再住這裡！

Me, my husband and daughter stayed here after a days cycling. The staff were so lovely, helpful and friendly. The friendliest people we met in the whole 2 weeks. This place stood out to me. The girls behind reception were super helpful with great English. Our 2nd day of cycling was cancelled due to rain and we were given a shuttle bus ride to the bus stop so we could get to Imabari. Highly recommend a stay here. Me and my husband stayed in one of the cosy huts which had a terrace and my adult daughter had a dormitory all to herself.

Conveniently located about halfway between Onomichi and Imabari along the Shimanami Kaido, WAKKA is much more than a halfway stop. Staying here is an experience you won’t forget for a while. Between us we had a cottage and a dome ‘tent’ both with views of the water & the Tatara bridge (across which we had cycled). We opted for the BBQ dinner on our deck & it was wonderful: sashimi appetiser, local seafood, vegetables & meat (amazing steak, boar sausages, chicken) as well as rice, dessert and mint tea! The hospitality here is so warm that we felt immediately welcomed. All the staff were lovely. Reika (from reception) suggested a trip to the local onsen (public bath) and provided a voucher as well as minibus shuttle (10 min way). This was a great experience and good way to relax after a day’s cycling. We enjoyed breakfast sitting on the cafe deck (great coffee) before we set off for another day of cycling. As well as cottages & dome tents, there are dormitory beds for a more economical stay. WAKKA also offers support to cyclists who aren’t staying at the hotel.

I booked WAKKA as a midpoint on my bicycling trip across the Shimanami Kaido. This is a wonderful small inn of recent construction. It worked so well that I stayed an extra night and used it as a hub to bike to art sites on the island and neighboring ones. I especially enjoyed waking in the morning to a wonderful view of the ocean, bridge and neighboring island. And, the staff is very accommodating and helpful. It made for a great trip.
