it's a nice location which is next to beautiful lake of Taiping, near food court, walking distance to terminal bus station, train station. Property provide bicycle rental service with good price for in-house guests. There are helpful elders as front desk, you can approach them for any information or assist (however you need to research yourself too). As I planned to go Maxwell hill and ask for direction/transport, they never tell me it's closed until I was there. it closed because of landslide (already reopen at 2nd Dec 2019). As well, Matang mangrove forest reserve is closed for renovation and will re-open back on January 2020. Property itself is an old building which need to repaint and some touch up. I planned to escape stresses from big city, to recharge at Taiping, unfortunately sound insulation at property are bad, can clearly heard the guests talking, walking steps from corridors. plus the illegal motor racing happen middle of the night 0:00-03:00 (they said it happen everyday). Please prepare a good quality of earplugs to block the noise. if not it definitely torture for light sleeper. I would be satisfied if the property itself come with good sound insulation.
