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. Everything about Tony's is great. He is a very welcoming and helpful host. He is always around and ready to offer advice. The place is very laid back with lots of space, lots of trees around. It is basically located in the outskirts of the main village, but easy walking or cycling distance. Bicycles and locks are provided for use at no charge. Each morning the staff would provide a big basket of rambutan fruit, and also when available, ripe papaya. For anyone to help themselves. He has an information board in the common area listing places to go, and also any specific things happening. Eg. Night market on Monday evenings One thing which got good use was the new washing machine and also laundry powder. Overall Tony has created a nice oasis where you can relax and enjoy

Situated in George Town, 2.4 km from Northam Beach and 600 metres from 1st Avenue Penang, Melayu Villa by Aayu - 8 mins walk to Armenian St features accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a shared lounge. The property features inner courtyard and quiet street views, and is less than 1 km from Rainbow Skywalk at Komtar. The guest house has family rooms. The air conditioning worked well for us, but there's an additional conditioner added that may be used, the room and the bathroom was very clean and the stay was enjoyable. The location is great as well. The storefront is finished and it's a cute little shop.

They also let us check out 3 hours late for no extra charge!

There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. Every room has a patio with garden views. Definitely the best place I’ve stayed in Penang. The owners are very kind and helpful, it’s a pleasure to chat with them. The house feels like a home. It’s very convenient, quiet and clean. I wish I spent more time there. Hope 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 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.
