The swimming pools ( for adults and children) are less than a minute walk away from the house, in fact they are not busy and most of the time empty and quiet. In fact tenants here are not into swimming much and you may find very few using the pools . These are expatriates mostly from Britain, Europe or Australia who live or work here. IN THE VICINITY
There are long stretches of night markets selling so many things. Foodstalls and restaurants in most places in Batu Feringghi with local and international cuisines, Mini Market, Tour agencies and so forth. It is located on the same road as The Holiday Inns,The Park Royal Hotel, The Hardrock Hotel and The Bayview Beach Hotel. It is a walking distance for live bands, night entertainment and other relaxations. These are among the few of the 4, 5 and 6 star hotels in the vicinity. Batu Feringghi is not a boring place to be. ast night it is full of actions! At the beach in front of the Villa ( 5 mins walk away), there is a cafetaria where you can actually enjoy the unobstructed full view of the sea with some drinks and foods at reasonable prices . You can also use the lazy chairs for sun tan and relaxation without any extra charges. There are also places for full body and foot massages , reflexology, fish spas, jungle trekking, trishaw rides, beach and water activities , all in this area of Batu Feringghi. If you would like to have good full body massages by the sea then you can do so at the beach itself ( there are also men masseurs for men) the location is at The Golden Sands Hotel nearby ( it is not under the hotel management though but the massage place is on the beach front ) .If you prefer a private masseur, there is one that do housecall for a very reasonable rate of MYR 60 for an hour. You can also have the massage by the pool, beach or the garden or any where you want . This is a clean, decent professional massage. PLACES OF INTERESTS in the vicinity and on The Penang Island

Places to visit like The Butterfy Farm, The Spice Garden , The National Park, The Penang Water Reservoir, The Forest Reacreation Park , and The World Largest Toy Museum ( this is good for children and adults too). Perhaps you might want to go on a round the island tour or take a day cruise with a casino and other entertainment on board at RM60-RM100 per person . Or go to the city of Georgetown for shopping at some Megamalls for branded goods or computers things. Or visit The largest Sleeping Buddha ,The Fort Cornwallis ( the remnants of the Bristish Empire) or go up The Penang Hill via the modern Swiss made Furnicular Train to view the fantastic view of George Town from the top of the island and have lunch there at an English type restaurant, or visit The Botanical garden with monkeys happily running around. RELAXING AT HOME

If you prefer to stay at home , then the home itself has many areas to relax. You can relax outside at the private garden under the coconut tree with a glass of drink and enjoy the pleasant cool breeze and there is also another garden just outside the dining area (or go to the pool, wading pool or sauna). Or sit at the balcony on the top most level and watch the sea view and places around the villa. There is another balcony with the garden view ( from the lounge area). We are actually upgrading the garden with carpet grass and by the time you get her , you will see the place is so much better than in the photos of www.holidayhomes.org or www.holidaylettings.co.uk. There is a reading area with novels and books/toys/games for children too. At night the home itself is quiet , peaceful , cool ( 26 degrees celcius) and breezy . Neighbours on both sides of the house are just couples with no children and they are seldom at home. If you want to have BBQ at the terrace, in the garden or the beach , I can provide a list of caterers to do it for you for a reasonable rate which include preparing the meat, sausages etc and cooking them including cleaning and everything else. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONS

Buses and taxis are just outside the property. Bus stops are on the both sides of the road, right infront of the main entrance of the Guardhouse. The buses (RAPID) are modern and airconditioned. If you do not have your own transport , this is good enough. WHAT VISITORS LOOK FOR THEIR VACATIONS??????? SAVINGS, COMFORT, CONVENIENCE , COMPLETE FACILITIES, SAFETY, LUXURY, STRATEGIC LOCATION and PEACE OF MIND ( where everyone can be under one roof and be more sociable ). Batu Feringghi is an expensive area where houses like this are more than MYR millions. THIS is THE FINEST HOME with THE BEST RATE and THE BEST LOCATION. Most apartments and condominiums are quite a distance away to the beach and other ammenities. Staying in a home like this is, no waiting for lifts or having to walk a long distance down to the beach for outdoor activities. It is clean and very economical for a large group. We have surveyed the area and there is no other home like we do , where we offer SO MUCH and ask FOR SO VERY LITTLE to accommodate a group like this .Have a thought of about it if you are coming for a nice , wonderful and economical vacation. There is no need to have separate apartment units where total cost can be almost the same.
