Set in an abandoned funfair... With a ferris wheel as a backdrop... Enjoy hanging out with the owners June's 8 cats, laze in the hammocks under mango trees and sip on Brian's unique cocktails at the bar on site. Location is unbeatable and walking distance from Tengah and Cenang beaches. Highly recom

The hostel was a great location, close to the beach! It was good value for money and the private room was exactly what we needed for our time there (3nights). June was helpful - we booked the mangrove tour with him and would 100% recommend (it was interesting and good value) and the bar at the back
