Studio Orang Kampung @ Lurah Bilut

My name is Zaki, and I've lived in Malaysia my whole life.
Village life to discover 1.5 hour from KL with just one bus away.
We are looking for helpers for help around the house I lived in with my wife Yati, daughter Sophia..who just turned 7 and our son, Alfian who is 5.
Sophia is talkative, active and happy go lucky kind of soul.
While Ian is with autism and speech delayed but really observant.
Cunning too in somewhat way.

Looking for people who are interested in immersing themselves in our local Malaysian culture.
But of course when you stay with me..it would be from my perspectives.
So the work are flexible, depending on situations, weather and other elements.
Hosting people through though, I just want to make new friend.
Longest person so far stay with me was 80 days and few peoples came back for more than 4 times.
To create environment for my children to grow and learn, and meet people who are probably able or willing to welcome them when they old enough to travel abroad hopefully.
So far, able to tell myself it is accordingly.

We are looking for helpers who can stay at least one week @ 7 days. First 3 day would be for people to adjust with the environment. Someone who can work in 3D sector. Dirty - Difficult - Dangerous. Right now our priority is to set up the edible garden and maintaining our 7.4 acres of palm oil farm. Where we grow other type of plant as well like bilimbi, avocado, calamansi and various type of fruit tree. Cacao also will be in the list. If you are looking for luxury, please look elsewhere. If you are interested and willing to stay with me, please bear in mind that while you and your bags are still in my house, you are my responsibility. Your safety, health and well being are important to us. I don't want you to get hurt, sick or anything with the activities. So don't push yourself.

Really enjoyed my time here. Zaki mended my trainers for me which were falling apart. Zaki also taught me how to ride a geared motorbike. Lovely family, made some friends for life. Will definitely be visiting again

I was traveling in Malaysia and I'm glad I got to meet Zaki's family. They're very welcoming. If you love nature and living outdoors, you're in the right place. We helped with cooking and washing dishes. The food is incredibly delicious. Thank you for letting me stay!

I visited Zaki’s family in early October, and it was such a wonderful experience. The place was beautiful, surrounded by nature, and it was easy to immerse myself in the local culture. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious — I still crave it even now! If you’re traveling in Malaysia, I highly recommend visiting this place. It’s perfect for relaxing, reconnecting with nature, and even finding a bit of personal growth along the way.
Thank you for everything!
