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 had a wonderful stay! I went there for a couple of days but stayed more than a week :) Very nice place with a great common area to socialize or chill, and a lovely outdoor kitchen

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. Perfectly located in the heart of Little India, this hotel is a gorgeously renovated colonial building. The inside is SO cool, with careful treatment of the original features. The stairs are definitely to be taken carefully. The staff were all so lovely and helpful. Breakfast really was lovely, the kuih were so fresh and the fruit etc. The rooms are really great. We had one tub room and one loft room, both were awesome. I would gladly return to this hotel in the future.

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

Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar is less than 1 km from the guest house, while Penang Times Square is a 18-minute walk away. Penang International Airport is 14 km from the property. 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 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.
