Nestled within the UNESCO Heritage Site and facing the Malacca River, this century-old house was once a dental clinic — a quiet witness to the passing of time and the rhythm of old Malacca. When we discovered it, the house had long been neglected, yet its soul remained. We’ve lovingly preserved it as much as possible, keeping the torn wall paint, original staircases (might not be suitable for very elderly guests or those with mobility issues), old window frames, and sturdy wooden beams — all of which still whisper stories from hundreds of years ago. Most of the original elements remain untouched, thoughtfully complemented with vintage furniture and reclaimed wood to retain its raw, nostalgic charm. We wish to give our guests as much privacy as possible. However, if you ever need any help or local recommendations, we’re more than happy to assist during your stay. Inside the house, you’ll also find a booklet featuring maps, stories about the people and culture of Malacca’s old streets, and some historical insights about our neighborhood — a little guide to help you experience the city more deeply. Details to note : 🌿The fifth guest will be provided with a foldable floor mattress, along with a pillow, blanket, and fresh linens for a comfortable rest. 🌿 Housekeeping For guests staying 7 nights or more, weekly housekeeping will be provided to keep the space clean and comfortable. Extra towels are available upon request for guests staying 4 nights or longer. 🌿Complimentary parking (10 min walk from LEJU 21, reservation before arrival is required). 🌿Located in an authentic old alley of Malacca — peaceful and charming in the morning, lively with local bars at night. Perfect for guests who enjoy culture and local vibes, but may not suit light or early sleepers.For added comfort, we provide complimentary earplugs to help you rest better at night. We have another stay-LEJU 79, in a quiet neighborhood near LEJU 21 — feel free to explore it on our profile.
Hi there! We’re delighted to share our heritage spaces in beautiful Malacca with you. Each of our homes carries a piece of history-old walls, wooden staircases, and timeless charm, and we do our best to preserve them with love and care. We hope you’ll enjoy the experience of staying in one of Malacca’s historic houses and feel the gentle rhythm of this old city.If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message us, we’re always happy to help and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
It is located in a charming alleyway of pre–World War II architecture, the house stands as a living symbol of the early Chinese migration to Malaya. The lane is lined with some of the country’s earliest Chinese shophouses, distinguished by their wooden shutters, staircases, and timeless craftsmanship. Set along the Malacca River, the house remains in the heart of the old town — just a short stroll from Stadthuys, Jonker Street, Hard Rock Café, and other famous landmarks. It’s incredibly easy to explore the city from here — almost everything is within walking distance. This home is best suited for travelers who appreciate authentic character, gentle imperfections, and the quiet beauty of time-worn details — a place to experience Malacca’s old soul, just as it is. This 3 storeys heritage home offers both charm and comfort, with a beautiful view of the Malacca River. 🌿G Floor Features a living area, a pantry equipped with a basin, microwave, and tableware, plus a work desk and a newly built modern bathroom with a window. 🌿 1st Floor Includes 2 single beds separated by a curtain partition, a window facing the river, and a balcony for enjoying the breeze and views. 🌿 2nd Floor (Loft ) Offers a queen-size bed and a small window with river view. 🌿Cleanliness & Comfort For every stay, fresh linens are provided and professionally laundered.
