    there is a need for improvement from the exterior of each house and the roof needs to be monitored. due to direct roof material without ceiling.

    All conditions and situations with a design appropriate to what is displayed.

    Be aware that there are mosquitos in the evening, and some will get in the room, and there is just no way around it. There is aircon and fans in the rooms but, because of the design of these traditional houses, the room will be warm regardless. It does cool down a bit at night, especially when it rains, but don't expect a cool room. I only took one cleanliness point away because the day we decided to stay at Terrapuri and enjoy the place, the pool happened to be dirty (muddy), and they didn't start cleaning it until late in the day, so we couldn't use the pool that day. All the other days the pool was clean, though.

    Such a beautiful and unique experience! I felt like I was in a museum. I loved being able to appreciate the details of the construction of these traditional houses up close. I loved being surrounded by frangipanis and pandan trees. The food is superb and the staff are really friendly and helpful. You won't have all the comforts you would have in a modern resort, so this is more for people who can really appreciate this place and the experience it offers. Do some research about it, about the person behind it and what the project entails, and you will enjoy your experience to the fullest. The rooms and facilities were exceptionally clean. The location is great: Penarik is a quiet village with friendly people and lush nature. It is probably best for people who have a car because it is a bit remote and it isn't easy to get a Grab to pick you up there, but we didn't have a car and still enjoyed our time there. They have bikes that guests can borrow although they could use some maintenance. It is also a bit far from the nearest jetty (about 20min by car). Staff can help you arrange transportation and trips to Redang but this option is not very cost-effective. Overall, we loved our stay at Terrapuri! For us, it was great to disconnect and enjoy slow days, and learn more about Malaysian history and culture.

    Terrapuri Resort provided an exceptional stay experience, leaving me with unforgettable memories.

    Considering that the room tends to get warm in the afternoon, it is advisable to activate the air conditioning prior to the guest's arrival

    Don't be deceived by the limited choices at breakfast; each item is prepared with exquisite taste and quality. They are bursting with mouthwatering flavors.

    It was a bit quiet as we were the only ones there for most of the time. Tours needed a min of 4 people to run- we would have liked to have done at least one trip out. Traditional food was nice.

    The houses were amazing- the cost of the upkeep must be horrendous! loved the wooden bath, pool and four poster bed.

    The maintenance was bad the air conditioning was not working and no maintenance staff available. The food was limited and pre-booked dinner acceptable. Despite menu options breakfast was hit or miss no choice so day 1 was OK local Nasi Lemak and day 2 some sort of sweet pancake with no option. The far too common response to requests was “sorry out of stock” I suspect this is NOT the local staff problem but caused by the absent management.

    Location and historical buildings were as expected, the staff were as helpful as they could be and very friendly

    Unfortunately no information on what Terrapuri is about.. no history no information on all the different items in the village. A huge opportunity missed for the visitor to understand the heritage. Dinner and breakfast very disappointing.

    A privilege to stay in such a beautiful setting… the accommodation is once in a life time experience for tourists. Staff kindly let us arrive early

    The room is like an oven. I arrived at 1200. Had to leave the room for the cool air of the beach. Return to the room after 4 hours and the mattress still too hot to even allow me to rest

    Staff attitude is very good and professional. The Malay Heritage buildings are amazing
