Nature

Time travel into a nostalgic adventure of Malaysian traditional living in the yesteryears. With trees, botanical and flower plants, animals and livestock on the homestead, Kuang Kampung Retreat offers families an invaluable experience, from an educational, cultural and heritage, outdoor fun factor and architectural perspective.
 
Designed and built by an architect couple, the 3,350 square feet house is built out of timber and stone stilts with natural kempas and balau timber flooring. The entire home has large windows with old teak frames and a plunge pool in the middle of the house. The adjustable timber louvers in living and dining areas are made from woods salvaged from an old istana in Kuala Lipis, Pahang by a Kelantanis craftsman, while the guest bathroom has decorative tiles found in an old house in Malacca marked for demolition.
 
The home is a showcase of some of Malaysia's finest architectural heritage with each piece of antique sharing tales of the bygone era. Coupled with modern bathrooms, kitchen, quality linens and our onsite services offered by our Property Host, Kuang Kampung Retreat offers a paradise of refuge from the bustling city, a perfect weekend hideaway for urbanites.

The Location
Tanarimba is a gated community in Janda Baik. Just 35km from downtown Kuala Lumpur, it is easily accessible and a wonderful outdoor escapade from the hustle bustle of city life. Tanarimba is set in 7,299 acres of tropical rainforest at an elevation of between 1,500ft and 4,500ft above sea level. Constructed with an eco-sensitive philosophy in mind, all homes in Tanarimba respect and complement its natural setting. About one-fifth of Tanarimba has been set aside for low density development, with the remaining land of over 5,000 acres being maintained as a forest reserve to preserve its habitat and species native to the eco-system. The development aims to co-exist in balance and harmony with its surroundings. This is a place where you can live closer to nature. For nature enthusiasts, Tanarimba has an incredibly rich spectrum of wildlife and plant species besides its mountainside of majestic peaks, valleys and ravines laced together with picturesque stream and waterfalls.
