Very clean, neat and tidy. Excellent balcony outside both rooms which would make a good place to meet other guests, and is a great place to observe village life. Very friendly and helpful host who went out of his way to make me feel welcome and looked after. Free parking. No noise from aeroplanes and far enough from the main road that it's quiet, though still close enough to easily walk to the warungs there. Highly recommended! The GPS location provided for Google Maps is spot on (though Google confused me by saying I was there when I still had a corner to drive around!).

I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment offers plenty of space, a tasteful and modern design, and very comfortable beds with pillows that are pleasantly thin. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, with everything just steps away. The host was extremely helpful, and communication was smooth and responsive at all times. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

Excellent rural setting. Friendly hosts. Clean rooms and basic rooms (expected given that it's a farm stay). Close to other fruit farms. Love the setup of the villas. The small wade pool was a hit with the children.

Really great location to calm down and relax. The fruit farm is a beautiful place in the middle of nature to enjoy a few calm vacation days. If you are lucky, Jenny will be around and cook delicious meals for you :) The hosts know a lot about Penang and its surroundings and give great recommendations! Highly recommend!

Our stay at Nature Fruit Farm was wonderful. Our accommodation was great the communal areas in particular were beautiful - a great place to relax. Jenny was a great host - even getting up extra early on our last day to make sure we had breakfast before we left.
