Located in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach, Cocoa Mews Cafe and Homestay provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free WiFi and a shared kitchen. The property is around 2 km from Penang Times Square, 8.2 km from Straits Quay and 8.2 km from Penang Botanic Gardens. Penang Hill is 9.4 km from the guest house and Queensbay Mall is 12 km away. Howie and Awit (if I spelt it right!)welcome their guests genuinely, you can feel their passion while they're showing you around. They give you advices to visit the surrounding area , tell you which bus to get and places where to eat great local food. In the morning, Howie always cooks amazing home-made breakfast, he provides free water, juice, coffee + milk, teas.. You won't feel hungry or thirsty in the house as there will always be something to eat and he's very proud of it. Room wasn't big, but enough for 2 ppl. It didn't have a window but with a/c you don't really need it. It was perfect for us and enjoyed the comfy mattress and pillows!!! Thank you so much, Howie!!!

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 place was so peaceful. It felt super secluded, but still with the comforts of being near beach and city, (and for example easy to order grab to). It was the perfect getaway between all the different fruit. We used the common areas a lot, as they were really nice to relax in, but our chalet was also really nice and comfortable. We used the bikes provided to take a trip through the rice paddies to the beach. We walked the hike up to the Thai restaurant with the great view. But we mostly relaxed on the beautiful property, reading, chilling, playing games. The hosts are really kind and it was nothing but a pleasure to stay with them. Really helpful and fun people.
