The Experience
While most of the building works are done, the hardest part needs to be done. Maintenance. This place will be a jungle otherwise. Although the next plan is to grow our own vegetables in a sustainable manner, there are still basic things that needs to be attended to. As my team have dispersed, I am alone with the care of the property. I seek those who prefer solitude with nature, especially long stayers.

My experience was what I wanted , nature, faraway from the city . Ivan is a very very cultured person and you can speak with him about everything and his idea about farm is interesting . I didn't have a lot to do , rainy weather. But … there is one but . The food organisation is not good , it's an optional 😂😂😂😂 if i decide to visit Malaysia again, I will pass to say hello .

If you love the spartan life, contact with nature this is your place, you will have to roll up your sleeves because the work is a lot but any of your needs will be welcomed by Ivan. I think there should be a greater push from Ivan but sometimes it is difficult to coordinate everything. We are happy to have come here and to have known a part of Malaysia not common to everyone. Have fun here and take care of the animals that are here. Simone & Aurora

Such a good experience. So nice to take a break from the fast pace of life and focus on simpler things like taking care of animals, growing a garden, and trying to live a sustainable lifestyle. Also really enjoyed playing music and learning about local culture with Ivan.

Lovely place to be in Malaysia! The owner listen to your needs and has a perfect English which is great for long conversation with him. If you do your part of the contract he will not police you around and he'll just trust you from the start and let you go the way you want ( as long as you follow his ideas of project of course) I definitely would come back ! Accommodation is good just don't forget you're in Asia ! :) ++hot shower++ feels good even when it's 35° 🤣
