What recent reviews say

All five reviews praise the property's traditional Malay-style design, cleanliness, and spacious layout. Located a two-minute walk from Taiping Lake Garden with four rooms (two en-suite), ample parking, and pricing reviewers found reasonable, it draws repeat visitors for family and group gatherings.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Designer aesthetics and lake proximity appeal, but recent guests hit pool maintenance issues (peeling paint), missing basics (tissues), and find the RM1K+/night rate unjustified. Works for adult travelers seeking artistic lodging; avoid if you have young children or expect consistent maintenance.

Most guests praise the lakeside location within walking distance of attractions, spacious layout for groups, and the private pool as a standout feature. The outdoor area and thoughtful hosts get repeated mentions. However, some note the property is aging and cleanliness varies; photos appear more polished than what they found on arrival.

Location and views draw guests, but maintenance issues crop up: air conditioning fails in key spaces, floors lack consistent cleaning, and the auto gate malfunctions. Review evidence is limited to two comments.
