Unique Cottages of Nipah Guesthouse, Pangkor Island

Nipah Guesthouse

As I stepped into the compound of Nipah Guesthouse, I knew that the guesthouses here are unlike any other regular guesthouses I’ve been to. The light blue and white colored A-frame cottages are so cute at a distant that it calls you to go near or better yet, to experience a night (or more) stay in them. Located at Teluk Nipah, Pulau Pangkor, the cottages are about 50 metres from the main road, which makes the stays here quiet and relaxing.

It was fun to feed the birds, although it is not as scary as feeding wild eagles (I did that before and that was slightly more scary).

What Is So Special About Nipah Guesthouse?

I wish I could inform more of how my experience staying there, alas, I was only there in a press trip and we didn’t stay the night at the Nipah Guesthouse. We only did some room inspection yet I have to say that the concept of the guesthouse piqued my interest, not to mention the look of the guesthouses too.

What’s interesting about the guesthouse is that guests can cook their own meals (breakfast or lunch) based on the food supplied by the owner – basic neccessities such as eggs, bread, vegetables, fruits and rice. There are also cabanas that can fit about 10 people opposite the blue, calming pool in front of the guesthouses.

According to feedbacks online, this family-built business that started in 2009 are ever willing to help any problems or questions by guests. I wish I had stayed here to experience the stay here myself. Maybe one of these days.
