Back to tradition.

Liked Scenery, kampung vibes, birds, cats, comfy beds, beautiful.

Enjoyed peace and quiet in a Malaysian village with plenty of ameneties.

Liked We were quite nervous about the location as we didn't know what to expect of a village but it worked out well, the bungalows were traditional Malay style wooden construction but very clean and with all essential facilities. We had the shared pool to ourselves as we went in the quieter rainy season. As for the village, traditional Malay and Western style restaurants were within walking distance and English is widely spoken so nothing to fear.

Disliked WIFI was flaky but the side effect was much needed electronic detox. d

Liked A tranquil and more authentic local style accommodation, with a lovely host and a lovely collection of feline friends to keep you entertained as well. Good facilities, with access to a fully equipped kitchen, and a pool. With a car, most places on the island are very accessible and you are only minutes from the airport and pentai cenang.

Disliked It's good to be aware that this is a rustic style accommodation. The room may feel very hot when you check in, but the AC will cool it down pretty quickly or you can leave the windows open during the day to air things out. It is best to have your own transportation as you are not on a main road, though you could probably get a Grab easy enough, we found having a rental car made everything very easy.

Liked The place itself is really nice and well maintained. It feels like you’re in the middle of nature. Hostess is very friendly.

Disliked The nearby mosque starts calling for morning prayer at about 5.40, no chance to not get woken up by this. Also the bathroom isn’t too comfortable, especially the shower isn’t since there’s barely any water pressure.
