If you like the wilderness then you’ll be fine here. We were the only guests in the resort and the service was over attentive to the point we were uncomfortable. The doors did not lock so did not sleep well, worrying that someone would get into the room. There was a shared outside toilet and shower. The general state of the buildings was poor, and incredibly expensive for what we got. We couldn’t wait to get out of there.

The ride up and down the hill from the main road was a challenge and an obstacle. We loved the jungle-like setting but the ride up and down the single lane toad forced us to cut our stay shorter.
Amazing magic in Penang Hills! Loved this place and its environment! Stayed in Jasmine villa, which as a bonus surprise actually does include a karaoke set like the other villas — once we exhausted the 100 English songs available, we just looked up our own songs using WiFi. :)
Free pick up/ drop off by hotel from airport is only 2pm and 4pm, getting this information from management was a bit more difficult than it needed to be so here it is. Otherwise, airport is 40rm, Georgetown 80rm, Batu Ferringhi 100rm or more. Ask the driver if you need to get to an actual supermarket for food items beforehand (or do this shopping before your pick up), or your only option will be hawker takeaway and a minimart nearby. The hill road to the resort is doable by regular car but very bumpy and hard to navigate, so like others I advise using the resort shuttle contacts, don’t assume a Grab will take you in.
Beautiful walks nearby, we did the farm loop through to the river bank and back, and a little bit up to the Thai temple which according to maps.me would continue to the “Heaven Hill viewpoint” (1 hr 10mins one direction). It feels really gorgeous to be right in the middle of such greenery.
The pool was a welcome respite from the heat, resort grounds are beautifully landscaped. Staff were attentive and friendly, thumbs up! Resort includes oddities like a resident peacock and birds as part of their attractions — hopefully the unique design, ambience, and nature itself is enough for you!
Die schwierige Anfahrt (unbefestiger Waldweg) hat sich gelohn. Wir haben das Resort die ganze Zeit über nicht verlassen und das Ambiente genossen. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste und wurden perfekt umsorgt. Das Frühstück wurde uns in die Lodge geliefert. Das Frühstück war reichlich und gut. Sogar frisches Obst wurde geschnitten gereicht. Wir haben uns gefühlt wie eine Lordschaft im alten England. Perfekt.

Pleasant retreat place. Had a wonderfull time with friend. Setback -Limited to 6 adult per villa which can accomodate more..for the price.
Fantastic experience of staying in the durian hill.
Good experience for the kid to get close with nature.
Small water fall in front of the resort is great playground for the kids.
But accessibly to the resort via the jungle trail will be quite challenging especially at night

Lovely place out in the forest.
Loved it. Very unusual. Warm and friendly staff, and imaginative furnishing in a funky mix of Asia antiques
Once in a lifetime experience, away from the downtown, surrounded by nature. No reception, not many local drivers and travel agents have been to this place and do not know much of. Small road up to the hill is quite bobbly and not many locals know, so a small challenge for tavel operators and drivers to find. Big transports larger than 10 people seaters do not fit on those roads, so transports for big groups must be planned well beforehand. Manager and Ms. Yong have been extremely helpful with every little thing, together with their hard working and strong staff members. The place is super different and special. Breakfasts are nice. The luggage assignment to rooms are not to professionally managed and swimming pool is quite slippery of which 2 of our guests injured themselves badly and had to go to hospital after arriving in Hong Kong. All villas and rooms are different. Some outstanding, some a bit worne out and old. Remotes were not working properly at times and towels aren't divided into the rooms of villas that were on different floors. Little inconvenient and not so informative on each room's stay. Communication hardly possible with the workers there.
6 nuits au cœur de la jungle luxuriante pour une retraite loin du tumulte de la ville. 6 villas une grande piscine personnel au petit soin. Gare aux insectes mais ca fait partie de l'expérience . Wifi très faible
Very friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfasts and relaxing Resort set amongst the Penang tropical forrests. Great for a break from the hustle bustle of the city.
اجمل فندق في ماليزيا ، أفضل خدمة من طاقم العمل و السوبر فرايزر ، اجمل مناظر طبيعية زرتها في ماليزيا ، منزل اكثر من رائع كله مثل لوحة فنية مرسومة بأدق التفاصيل ، لن تزور مثله أبدا يمثل جمالكاليزيا في مكان واحد ، واسع جدا الفلل ، سوف أعيد الزيارة له قريباً

A gem on our doorstep...
The place was breathtaking and coupled with the rustic beauty of its wooden villa, this place is my dream holiday. The excellent service provided by our Bangladeshi caretaker Saddam and his fellow friends made our stay so pleasant. You can shoot pic of the scenic beauty and charm whole day. We had a fun time at the BBQ pit with food v brought as our villa was facing the pool. We came back with nostalgic memories and many nice pic to share.
