What recent reviews say
Guests consistently escape city noise at this riverside village stay, where wooden chalets and rooms offer rural authenticity next to the Perak River. Rooms are clean and spacious, staff like Jamil go out of their way to help, and families find plenty to do: fishing, pool time, cycling, and seasonal fruit picking. One recent guest reported severe odours and health issues, with poor complaint handling; most others praise the tranquillity and activities.
