For the Right Guests ...
we have curated an Experience that is Unique, Interesting, Adventurous, Informative
Would you like to find out about and experience the Malays - their culture, cuisine, history, heritage, the arts and how they live, work and play?
Would you be interested in having a unique, exclusive stay in a Malay Royal's country home in a 'Kampong', only 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur?
Are you adventurous and curious enough to try out traditional, often spicy, coconutty and chili - hot Malay Kampong Cuisine, made with tropical herbs, fruits and veggies picked fresh from our land and free-range livestock from ours and neighbouring farms.
Would you like to challenge your fears of the dark and the surrounding jungle and find out what it will be like to go to sleep with and wake up to the sounds of the 'wilderness' orchestra or go trekking with an Aboriginal in the day, to find out about some of the 3,000 and still counting, culinary and healthcare rainforest herbs or even how to cook with some of them?
Enjoy all your contemporary creature comforts indoors, but be willing to share space with the occasional iguana or gekko, that will probably be more afraid of you than you will be of them?
A lover of Nature? There are enough trees to hug around here and no one will laugh at you!
