Kep Cottage

In the French-colonial glory days, Kep was where Phnom Penh’s elite escaped to breathe the sea air. Kep Cottage brings that spirit home — a small, unhurried Khmer house reimagined with the coziness of a countryside cottage.

The name borrows two ideas at once: ផ្ទះ, the Khmer word for home, rooted in Kep’s own architecture and rhythm of life — and “cottage”, the English word for a small, welcoming house built for rest rather than show. One word came from home, the other from a friend’s visit abroad, and the realization that both cultures were describing the same feeling: a small house, done with care, meant for slowing down. Kep Cottage sits at that meeting point — Khmer in bones, cottage in spirit.

Privately and locally owned, Kep Cottage offers the authentic Kep to local and international travellers alike. We have five Khmer-style houses set across three hectares of land, with Kep National Park as our backyard and around one hectare of front garden for tours, gatherings and complete relaxation.

Our mission is to transform this space into one that offers the highest quality of well-being to our guests. Our vision is to create a tranquil retreat where you can disconnect from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself through rest, nature and mindful experiences — a peaceful escape centred on digital detox, holistic wellness and simple, grounding activities such as yoga, meditation and therapeutic healing.
