What recent reviews say

A family-run forest homestay on the Manda River near Chemor, praised for tranquility and direct water access. Guests return for peaceful surroundings, clean rooms with simple comforts, and Ma's hospitality at affordable rates, though bathrooms lack night lighting and river cleanliness depends on local behaviour.

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

Common questions

Is there a river on or near the property?
Yes. The Manda River runs next to the homestay, offering thigh-high water for bathing and clear water with tame fish.
How close is this to Ipoh and Lata Chepor hiking?
Close to Ipoh toll exit (recent guests' observation). The path to Lata Chepor waterfall is nearby; many guests stay for the river instead and hike later.
What was the nightly rate mentioned?
RM150 per night (from a review 7 years ago; current rates not stated in recent reviews).
