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. I appreciate the hospitality of Uncle Tony. He is very hands-on and will treat you like a friend/family. I loved that I was able to hear his stories. Although my stay was short, it was all worth it! I was able to experience all that I wanted, including hiking the Teman Negara (National Park) which is very close to Uncle Tony's place. We also went to the night market. There are bikes that you can use which would only cost you a couple of Ringgits. I also love the two lovely fat cats!! The place is really quiet and away from the bustle of George Town. It is an hour bus ride away, which I don't mind. Food is not a problem, you can easily buy food from the local shops nearby, I love the Nasi Kandar!! There are also Chinese restaurants which sell really good food! The Wi-Fi is also reliable. I was able to work online while staying here. All in all, it was amazing! I am so lucky I found this place! I made new friends and experiences!! Thank you Uncle Tony! You are a good person and I wish that more good people discover your place! I will come back :)

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!
