MALIHOM - A PRIVATE ESTATE Malihom a private estate located on the southern end of Penang, offer a tranquil getaway. The estate comprises a cluster of traditional Thai rice barns which have been carefully converted with modern comforts while respecting traditional charms. At the hub of the estate lies the main wing which holds the reception, dining and living areas. The barns are connected to the main wing by way of footpaths. Each barn, with its own unique character has a private garden or a decl. This arrangement provides guests with privacy and seclusion with a backdrop of breathtaking views. The barns are individually furnished and come with en-suite bathrooms. They are equipped with individually controlled air-conditioning units, fans, mini-bar fridges, electronic safes, 100% white cotton linen & feather down pillows and essential oil toiletries. We have eight barns for rental. Environment We try to conserve and preserve the use of our resources as much as we can. A large part of the estate was built using recycled wood and building material. For instance, the barns used to be storage barns on paddy fields in Thailand but no longer used in present day farming whilst the decking were old abandoned railway sleepers. Cleaning products for furniture and flooring are 100% natural and bio-gradable. In time, we would line to cultivate an organic garden large enough to supply our daily menu and a compost area for natural degradation of waste.

Josephine Huang, Singpore __________________________________________________________________ We had an amazing weekend at Malihom. Malihom is a small piece of heaven and we were extremely impressed with the quality of the facilities and the exceptional service at the retreat. The staffs were extremely helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. The rooms were well-maintained, as were all of the facilities, and the food was hearty and fantastic. We loved walking around various parts of the estate, relaxing by the pool and recharging our batteries and we will be sure to recommend Malihom to our friends.   It is very rare to find such an intimate, well-maintained, and professional retreat and we will be sure to return very soon. Nihat Ercan, Singapore __________________________________________________________________ We appreciate the staff’s attentiveness, like bringing us drinking water when we went swimming and on other occasions when we least expected this little touch. We also appreciate the staff’s creativity in surprising us with a different local dish each morning at breakfast. I look forward to staying at MPE in future. It truly is a remarkable experience. Tim Tham, Singapore ___________________________________________________________________ I am writing to tell you about the wonderful time we had at Malihom.  I have never stayed at such a welcoming and beautiful place in my life. The staffs were exceptional. I am amazed that you are able to source and retain such incredible staff. The woman who did the cooking was exceptional. She not only cooked haute chef cuisine but she was friendly and accommodating. I am still very impressed. Min and Nei Win are amazing hosts they were friendly, congenial and tried very hard to understand very quick and unusual Australian English. The accommodation was beyond belief and I think you have a jewel there that is incomparable with any resort that I have ever stayed at. Steve McGrath, Australia
