Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. I appreciate the hospitality of Uncle Tony. He is very hands-on and will treat you like a friend/family. I loved that I was able to hear his stories. Although my stay was short, it was all worth it! I was able to experience all that I wanted, including hiking the Teman Negara (National Park) which is very close to Uncle Tony's place. We also went to the night market. There are bikes that you can use which would only cost you a couple of Ringgits. I also love the two lovely fat cats!! The place is really quiet and away from the bustle of George Town. It is an hour bus ride away, which I don't mind. Food is not a problem, you can easily buy food from the local shops nearby, I love the Nasi Kandar!! There are also Chinese restaurants which sell really good food! The Wi-Fi is also reliable. I was able to work online while staying here. All in all, it was amazing! I am so lucky I found this place! I made new friends and experiences!! Thank you Uncle Tony! You are a good person and I wish that more good people discover your place! I will come back :)
