Tony’s Guesthouse at Teluk Bahang in Batu Ferringhi provides adults-only accommodation with a garden and a terrace. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. When staying at the guest house, guests can use private entrance. Tony's guest house is a very nice place to stay! It is in a very calm place, no cars rushing around, just peace and harmony! :) The room I stayed in was basic, small but clean and nice with everything I needed in it. I am so glad I've booked a room with AC as it was very hot during the day and night. The shared bathroom and showers are simple but good. There is a common area-kitchen-dining-chill place which is absolutely cosy and awesome! Here you can cook your own meals, meet other guests ir just chill in the garden, hammocks. The most important - Tony is a very very nice and super helpful person, he helps with everything you need. He has even made the lists of activities, restaurants he recommends in the area for his guests! You can also order simple breakfast for really cheap and the meals are very tasty! Moreover, Tony is a super nice guy, very friendly and helpful in all the means!
