Cottage Style Living, steps from food & market
A cute Colonial-style cottage nestled in a quite enclave of Gelugor, wonderfully appointed for a comfortable stay for a intimate group of friends or small family of 4-5 persons. The property is within walking distance to local eateries and daily market, making longer stays extremely convenient. Gelugor is closeby to the Penang Bridge and the Penang International Airport, making interstate and international arrivals a breeze. The heart of Georgetown is a short 10 minutes away via Expressway.

Stylishly Refurbished Heritage House (Muda Blue)
Originally built in the early 1900's, the house was dilapidated and not fit for habitation. It was out of passion to restore the building that Muda Blue came about. As the house is protected by the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscription, its structure and facade had to be maintained, which we were happy to do. It is now a charming house to live in with modern amenities and an artistic touch. High-speed internet with Netflix available on a smart TV. Note: Potential noise from the street

Treehouse - Sleeping on a Durian tree
The double-storey treehouse is built within a 16-acre sustainably farmed fruit orchard located 300m above sea level. Fitted around an 90-year old durian tree, it is built by hand with recycled wood and bamboo harvested from the land. The treehouse has no walls, only bamboo blinds that open up to the trees all around so nature comes to you. Durians fruit only once a year at the farm, in June and July, so, worry not - no smell of durians except during fruiting season in these 2 months.

All about Bayan Baru
With stunningly intricate temples, world-class shopping, and white-sand beaches all just a short drive away, the vibrant neighborhood of Bayan Baru is the perfect home base for exploring the culture and nature of Malaysia’s Penang Island. There are no fewer than five malls nearby, the largest being Queensbay Mall, and the magnificent SPICE Arena hosts national and international sporting events. Next door, you’ll find the aquatic center housing an Olympic-sized swimming pool, diving pool, and an all-ages water theme park.
The wider region of Penang is home to several Buddhist temples, where you can admire the architecture and gardens in a peaceful, flower-filled setting. Just outside the city, you will find several breathtaking beaches, from the highly developed Batu Ferringhi, surrounded by resorts, restaurants, and a night market, to the remote Monkey Beach, accessible only by boat or two-hour hike and offering a respite from Penang’s busy streets.
What are the top things to do in Bayan Baru?
Pulau Jerejak
The lush, tropical island of Pulau Jerejak has a rich history and is just a short ferry ride from the coast near Bayan Baru. Once a prison and sanatorium, it has since been transformed into a natural paradise. The island’s jungle is one of the last remaining rainforests in Malaysia and is home to many species of indigenous plants and wildlife, including long-tailed macaques.
Queensbay Mall
If you want to escape the heat for a few hours, the five-level Queensbay Mall will provide hours of entertainment. Spanning more than 2.5 million square feet, the mall is home to more than 400 international retail stores, restaurants, a cinema, a laser-tag arena, and a karaoke club.
Kek Lok Si Temple
Just a half-hour drive away, Kek Lok Si, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia, stands on a hilltop, towering above the surrounding trees. Stretching over 10 acres, the temple’s complex comprises several monasteries, pagodas, bronze statues, and beautifully landscaped gardens, including the Liberation Pond, where you can watch hundreds of turtles swim. When visiting, please be mindful of worshippers praying and making offerings, and dress respectfully, keeping your shoulders and legs covered.
