This property is not about luxury finishes or city convenience — it is about something far more valuable and increasingly rare: privacy, quiet, and space to live without interruption.
Set on a hillside in a quiet cul-de-sac in Tanjung Tokong, Penang, the home is surrounded by greenery and natural jungle. There is very little passing traffic, no through road, and no surrounding density. During the day, the dominant sound is birdsong. At night, the environment becomes almost completely silent, with only the faintest distant noise from far beyond the immediate area.
The defining feature of the property is the private garden and pool space, which is not overlooked. This creates a level of seclusion that is extremely difficult to find. The pool area becomes the natural centre of daily life — a place to relax, read, swim, or simply enjoy the stillness of the surroundings. In the evenings especially, the setting takes on a calm, retreat-like atmosphere that many guests find to be the true value of staying here.
The home itself is fully furnished and comfortable, designed for longer stays rather than short visits. It includes a selection of books, basic fitness equipment (exercise straps, ab wheel, press-up bars), and everything needed for day-to-day living. It is not presented as a high-end designer space, but as a functional, lived-in home where the environment is the real asset.
A motorbike is provided at the house, price of it's use already built into the cost of the house rental. You have the option to use it or not. There will be some paper work, an indemnity form to sign and an an international bike license is required. We recommend you opt in of the motorbike, as the property is situated at the top of the hill. Nearest shops and amenities are + - 1.5km away at the bottom of the hill. Too far and too steep to walk. Unless you have your own car, the bike will be necessary.
Wifi is included at the house but it is below 5k speed and while it will suffice, the better option, is to buy mobile data nearby, it is inexpensive and easy to set up (typically around RM40/month for unlimited use 5G connectivity). Instructions of where to buy a sim car can be provided upon request.
The location offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, private environment to return to, while still being within reach of everyday amenities in Tanjung Tokong and beyond.
This space is ideally suited for:
Digital nomads who do not require high-speed fibre but value environment and focus
Writers, creatives, or individuals seeking a quieter base
Couples looking for privacy and a slower pace of living
Anyone wanting a longer stay in a calm, natural setting
What you are ultimately paying for here is not square footage or luxury branding, but a rare combination of seclusion, quiet, and a private pool environment — a place where you can genuinely switch off, recharge, and live at a different pace.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
