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. Howie is an amazing host and takes care of everything you need! He's very communicative, gives you a lot of reccomendations, which is very helpful when it's your first time in Georgetown. Everything's clean, the kitchen is well equipped, loved the snacks in the morning! Also WiFi is good which is an important factor for me as I work remotley. The location itself couldn't be any better, also it's a short walk to the port if you want to go/come from Butterworth. My room didn't have a window, this always confuses me a bit, because you never know what time of the day it is when you wake up, but that's not a big deal. AC is quiet and does a good job. There are so many little details that make this place unique. Also it's a great Hostel to meet other travellers. Last but not least I want to mention the cats! They are adroable and friendly, in case you have cats at home and you miss being surrounded by them - this is the place to stay for you!

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!
