Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. This place is so lovely, hidden away from all the noise and crowds, giving you relaxing and peaceful stay. The vibe is amazing, staff is super friendly and the place has everything you need. Beds and rooms are very basic but I slept well and throughout the night no problems, felt very comfortable and because of so many trees around, you won't be woken up early. It's definitely a place to come and leave the stress behind. There is a kitchen to use, fridge, and unlimited filtered drinking water. Lots of space with hammocks , chairs and tables for you to chill out or do some computer work (wifi is good and works well most of the time) You can rent bicycles for cheap , otherwise walk to the town centre takes about 15 mins. There s lots of birds around, friendly dogs and cats to pat and some cheeky monkeys can be seen too. You can order cheap breakfast with a couple of basic food items and if you re lucky and it's the right time, Tony's fruit trees will give you some extra organic food for free. Tony even gave me a lift to the bus station on my final day which was super helpful due to heavy luggage. Very much recommend Tony's guesthouse, it won't disappoint

The room was clean and comfortable for a stay. Location is very strategic. Everything is walking distance, street food, restaurants and all the tourist attraction. Overall, I really recommend Cocoa Mews to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the Penang. I would definitely stay here again in the future.

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.
