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. Check in and check out is very simple. Rooms are clean and cozy, but the lack of a window does feel suffocating sometimes. shared bathrooms are clean. Breakfast is complimentary and there are several snacks available in the kitchen for the guests. Common areas are clean as well. There are beautiful friendly cats at the stay, so please bear in mind about cat hair and allergies if you do stay there. Howie and Amit were wonderful hosts, spent time talking to us, telling us what we can do around georgetown and penang. Howie sends updates in the Whatsapp group about places we can visit and rent scooters from, which was very helpful. All in all, a wonderful experience. We loved Howie's energy! Thank you so much again. Would definitely stay again.

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!
