Hidden gem

Lovely position in rice paddy field. Abundant wild life. Egrets, kingfishers, red wattled lapwings a plenty. The raised hut on stilts was delightful, with the dining table underneath. It was a short walk to the beach and all the amenities.

A glimpse of northern village life

Its was a fantastic stay. I grew up in the north of Malaysia, staying close to the paddy field make me reminisce my chilhood and I was happy that my daughter had a glimpse of that experience. From the surroundings, the sound of frogs and cicadas, and waking up to the paddy field with its birds, butterflies and buffalos. Gemalai village is within the proximity of the Paddy Museum (Laman Padi) so we take a full package to experience a glimpse of the northern way of life in Malaysia. The rooms are well designed, spacious and is within walking distance to Chenang beach so we definitely will be staying here again if we are in Langkawi.

Staying in a wooden hut was a new experience. You can hear sounds of nature and live it somehow. It is only a 10-minute walk distance to the downtown.

Nice and original way to stay in Langkawi away from big touristy hotels

The cabin had a nice flair and was very clean when we arrived. They even granted us an early check-in. Beach was in a walkable distance but still a bit far (which we knew but still). The hotel had a spacious parking lot for our motorbike and a water dispenser with free water which was very nice. Luggage can be stored after check-out.
