A cozy place to rest in the middle of Almost-Nowhere. We're located along the main road which stretches all the way to Kuala Penyu's town, a quiet town filled with somewhat chinese looking, yet Not-so chinese people? o.o An approximate 7 Km (4.35 Freedom Units) to the tiny town and 8 Km from the infamous 𝘉𝘢𝘵𝘶 𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘨 beach, we're strategically located close to both attractions and town, but not subject to busy roads of the latter. Complete with all necessary amenities you'd need ^_^.
