We had a wonderful stay in Kit and Sik’s beautiful home, overlooking the spectacular views of the sea, lighthouse and Straights Quays. We loved the pools too as they were much larger than ours in Queensland! We enjoyed many evenings eating in the restaurants, singing and laughing at the little kids' cars as they race by! We also had afternoon tea at the E and O in Georgetown. The very friendly taxi drivers took us all over the place! We went to the lovely top of Penang Hill, Kek Kok Si, Batu Feringhi, Pinang Peranakan Mansion, Cheong Fatz Tze, and the afternoon tea at Eastern & Oriental .... as well as many, many other locations. So thanks for making this trip the absolute best! Bee and Derek -
Glad you have a great stay in Penang!

Thanks so much Kit and Sik for opening your home to us What a fabulous location 😊 The apartment was so spacious, comfortable, and well equipped….the balcony and view outstanding. We loved your home! Penang is a fabulous destination for anyone thinking of going. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely home 👍 -
I spent four weeks (August 2023) in Kit's magnificent apartment in Penang in Malaysia. Malaysia is great, Penang is amazing but Kit's place beats everything; it is way beyond the level of luxury and comfort I usually experience as a home-swapper. It's like staying in a five-star hotel but with a fully-equipped kitchen, a washing machine, a ridiculously huge terrace with a breathtaking sea view, ...oh and did I mention the choice of private swimming pools in the complex? Shops, bars and restaurants literally at your doorstep. In addition, as a bonus, Kit and Sik Ling are incredibly friendly, very helpful and accommodating; communication is easy, fast and fun. It was a real privilege swapping with this lovely family. Padraig Carty. -
Padraig What a review 😊, Thank you for your kind words, you did not even use the master room. Such an excellent caretaker of our home, left it better than we handed over to you. Welcome you back to stay when you wish, we throughly enjoyed our stay in your Paris, apartment too with such an excellent location. Cheers Kit

Oh what a lovely first experience! -
When we arrived to Penang, Kit and Sik Ling were there to help us settle in their place. They showed us around the town and took us to early lunch which was awesome to see how things function in Penang. They also helped us by taking us to the local market so we could taste the wonderful Penang cuisine. Kit loves a good single malt whisky, and Zoran actually is a whisky enthusiast, so the of them did a little whisky tasting session when we arrived. The apartment is beautiful and quite big - it is overlooking the marina and you can enjoy beautiful sunrises from its spacious terrace. It is in a building that is literally a shopping mall so you have anything you need very close to the apartment. The building also provides a small gym, several pools and a tennis court. The pool area is especially beautiful. We had a little accident in the apartment where the leg of one bed got broken. We offered to replace it but they graciously refused to accept our help with it. We will always cherish this exchange as one of our favourite ones. Thank you Kit and Sik Ling!
