Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. Such an amazing place, full of nature and good memories. Spotted some very nice wildlife around😊 Bicycle's for rent available, the renting price is super low, it's mostly like a donation to maintain the bikes 🚲 Thank you for your hospitality and good times!

Located within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of George Town, Ren I Tang Heritage Inn is located in a restored building from the 1800s. Spanning an area of 3 shop house units, the property features free WiFi, a restaurant and small museum on the ground floor, which used to be a medical hall. This hotel is incredible. The history, the ambience and the staff are all amazing. This doesn’t even mention the restaurant which also serves outstanding food - especially for how reasonable it all is.

At the guest house, each unit is equipped with bed linen and towels. It’s was close to relevant areas for me in Georgetown and it was clean and quiet. Also the staff was quite helpful. Would recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. I had an amazing stay at Melayu Villa. The room was super clean and spacious, the bed very comfortable, and the location was perfect, so close to all of the main places in Georgetown, including so many amazing restaurants and cafes. The host was so great, super responsive and incredibly helpful with so many golden recommendations for restaurants and local spots. Absolutely recommend this place, just book it!!

There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and a hair dryer. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels.

Popular points of interest near the guest house include Wonderfood Museum, Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar and Penang Times Square. Penang International Airport is 14 km away. This simple but elegantly furnished apartment in George Town's historic center was ideal for my stay in the city. If you're without a car and would like to have everything that you need nearby, there's no better place to book. The owner(s) also supply a handy shortlist of locations of both utility and recreation on Google Maps in case you haven't spelled it out for yourself yet.

Offering a garden and garden view, Nature Fruit Farm - Private Estate is located in Balik Pulau, 23 km from Penang Hill and 23 km from Taman Rimba Teluk Bahang. The property features mountain and river views, and is 18 km from Queensbay Mall. The guest house provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. This is such a beautiful and special place! Everything was so nicely done and beautifully decorated. Our room was very comfortable for our family of 4. The included breakfast was really good and different each day. The owners were so friendly! They took the time to chat with us and it was so nice to exchange with them and learn more about durian fruit. And we go to try a durian that had just been picked from the tree . It made all the difference and gave us the chance to appreciate the fruit a bit more!! We had a rental car, which I feel it is the best way to explore this part of the island, but you can easily come by Grab and order Grab Food for dinner; plenty of outdoor tables and chairs at the farm. We really enjoyed our time at Nature Fruit Farm and hope to be back one day!
