Sihyu Byeoldang is a hanok stay near the famous Hwangnidan-gil in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, whose name is made up of hanja characters meaning "time," "separation," "rest," and "home." There are three types of room, spread across a sarangchae, an anchae and an annex. The sarangchae and annex have access to an outdoor swimming pool, while the anchae has an indoor bathtub. We hope the house’s warm atmosphere and the beautiful surrounding scenery will help guests feel truly rested and at home - and perhaps even that time has briefly paused.
