Guesthouse Booking Enquiry
Under the Revitalisation Scheme, the Green Hub has restored the original function of the Police Officers' quarters at the Old Tai Po Police Station as guestrooms. The design of our guestrooms reflects the beauty of simplicity and allows residential guests to appreciate the original architectural features.
The Green Hub has twelve rooms for accommodating 24 guests. The guestrooms are designed in a communal setting and most of the rooms are naturally-ventilated without thermal-conditioning.
