The property features quiet street views and is 700 metres from 1st Avenue Penang and 800 metres from Wonderfood Museum.

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.

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. The place was amazing!!! We had a great time. The hosts Howie and Amit were AWESOME! They were very kind and helpful suggesting places to go and foods to eat. Every little thing that we might need had been thought of and provided....And then some. Not to forget the fun we had with the cats. Both Garfield and Bobby were a joy to watch. I would visit Malaysia again just to stay at Cocoa Mews. It was not just the best place to stay in Malaysia....It was home.

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 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.
