There was even some bread provided in the communal area, in case we got hungry. We did, and it was delicious - we think it was coffee flavoured. Do note that the private bathroom is just across the hallway, but the place was lovely and quiet and was in no way an issue at all. Would absolutely recommend this place.

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!

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.
