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've been to Penang several times now, and Tony's Guesthouse has quickly become my absolute favorite place to stay. I will always keep coming back here 😁 The atmosphere is so quiet, relaxed, and peaceful – a perfect retreat away from the hustle and bustle of George town. It's ideally located near the national park, along with other amazing non-city attractions, making it a great base for exploring the more serene side of the island. What really makes this place stand out are the hosts. They are incredibly lovely, welcoming, and truly go above and beyond to ensure you have an unforgettable stay. Their warm hospitality and attention to detail make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. They offer thoughtful touches and provide everything you need to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. From local tips to extra amenities, they have thought of it all. I can't recommend Tony's Guesthouse enough – it’s a perfect blend of tranquility, convenience, and top-notch service. If you're looking for a peaceful place away from the city... This is the place to go!

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. It's a lovely place. Howie it's super friendly host, always helping with information of what to do or eat and where. They pay attention on every detail, like having face mask for free(just in case you need it) or things for personal cleaning or care. The breakfast is basic like instant coffee, or coffee to make, tea, bread, jam and things like that, but every day they bring some extra typical food from Penang. The cleaning conditions are excellent, everything is tidy and smell nice. The location is fantastic, close to the ferry harbour, close to the buses to everywhere and surrounded by many places to hang out. Plus and most important, the company of lovely cats that won't let you go around without doing some cuddles to them. If we can come back, without any doubt, we'll be back to Cocoa Mews!

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!

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!
