Shiva Lodge is around 950 m from the town centre and 850 m from Chalok Baan Kao Beach. Babaloo Restaurant is 100 m away, and other places to eat sit along the village roads. Mae Haad, the pier village, has many of the island's main services, while Sairee to the north is its busier strip of dive schools, restaurants and beach bars.
All visitors arrive on Koh Tao by boat at Mae Haad on the west coast. Lomprayah Koh Tao Pier is 1 km from Shiva Lodge, and pick-up truck taxis travel from the pier towards Chalok Baan Kao. Ferries connect the island with Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Chumphon; the crossing from Koh Phangan takes 45–90 minutes, while the mainland crossing from Chumphon takes about two hours. The hotel has a free shuttle service and free private parking without a reservation. Scooter hire is another way to travel around the island, though the concrete roads to east-coast coves such as Tanote Bay, Ao Leuk and Mango Bay are steep.
