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. This place is more than just a guesthouse—it’s Surrounded by national parks, beaches, valleys, hiking trails, every feels like a natural world. What makes it even more special is that the guesthouse itself feels like an extension of nature. Staying here, you don’t just visit nature—you become part of it. I loved how I could enjoy the serenity of being alone, fully immersed in the peaceful surroundings. At the same time, the backpacker has a great place to meet travelers from all over the world and exchange life stories. It was the perfect balance of solitude and social cronnection. And then there’s Tony, He is not just a wonderful host but also a warm and friendly person who loves meeting new people. He shared so many interesting stories with us—especially about his animals and the experiences that come with raising them. His passion and kindness made the stay even more memorable. Tony, thank you for creating such a cozy and special place. After a long year of busyness, I finally had the chance to slow down and enjoy a truly wonderful holiday in your little paradise. I hope to return

Located in George Town, 2.2 km from Northam Beach, Aayu Church St - 7 mins to Esplanade, George Town provides rooms with air conditioning and free WiFi. The property features city views and is 400 metres from Wonderfood Museum and 1.5 km from 1st Avenue Penang. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen and a housekeeping service for guests. 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.

Located in George Town and only 70 metres from Tanjung Bungah Beach, Sea Lion by the beach provides accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Every room has a patio with garden views. We had an amazing time at Sea Lion. Not only were the hosts friendly and made us feel at home, but the house itself was very clean, and had everything we needed. Birdy (the resident cat) was also very sweet. The location was nice and quiet, being a bit out of town (but only a 20-40 minute bus ride away, depending on traffic). There were quite a few popular restaurant areas near the house. Great place to stay, would 10/10 recommend!
