SETTING

Surrounded by wetlands and beautiful mountain ranges it is only 5 minutes from Pantai Cenang beach. Seven antique Malay timber villas offer the perfect get away for families and leisure travellers.

FACILITIES

A beautiful lap pool with Jacuzzi invites guest to relax in the tranquillity of a beautiful garden, overlooking the wetlands and beautiful mountain range. Resort owner, Narelle McMurtie as well as her staff take care of the individual needs of their guest to make their stay a divine pleasure.

ROOM TYPES

All of the seven antique houses have a small terrace. The rooms offer the choice of air-conditioning or fans and each house has its individual interior design. They offer modern amenities like DVD/CD player, tea/coffee making facilities, toaster as well as a bar fridge with complimentary mineral water.

BLUE GINGER

Blue Ginger has the feel of a simple antique beach cottage with its white washed internal walls. It has a charm of its own, especially when you open the door to your private sundeck and outdoor bath tub. This 80 year old Malay house is centrally supported from a round post shaped from a tree trunk.

YELLOW ORCHID

This simple 60 year old Malay house was originally a fisherman's house but has now been transformed into a summery colourful villa. The front has an open balcony and at the back awaits a secluded open-air bathroom and sundeck during the day. By night you can soak in a bath gazing at the stars.

WHITE FRANGIPANI

This 80 year old typical Malay house with a main reception area has a raised sleeping area which was originally for the whole family. The kitchen space becomes a link passage to the dressing room and bathroom. Simple in form yet interesting because of the different rooms, space and contrasting Asian textiles and colours.

BLACK CORAL

A 100 year old Malay Nobleman's house with intricate carvings made for natural ventilation. The windows are positioned at a lower level in line with the eye of guests sitting on the floor. The most dramatic house with dark wood contrasted by furnishings in white and beautiful Malaysian songket textiles.

LAGUNA

The 120 year old Laguna villa, very stately in feel, has sweeping lagoon views even from the Chinese style wooden bathtub for two. The warm interior colours of ornage, rust and tans invitingly ensure you spend plenty of time inside. A large balcony at the entrance offers the ideal spot for sunset cocktails.

PALMS

This 120 year old house sits majestically and picturesque beside the pool. Beautiful carved panels above the window make this house a treat to the eye. The antique marble table is perfectly situated in the corner, to while away the hours reading or writing. The neighbouring house Laguna is its twin in size and layout. Both have extra large bedroom and bathrooms.

SILK

At 120 years old, Silk Villa is grand and charming with old plantation style shutters and intricate carvings. A subtle mix of shades of grey and black tinted with a touch of pink, give this house its own identity. With two queen beds in one room and two single beds in another room, it is the ideal house for a family to feel at home.

WINING & DINING

Dining at the Bon Ton Restaurant is like stepping into a different world with an almost mystic atmosphere. On entering the simple Balinese inspired building, one has to walk through a gallery shop filled with a carefully selected variety of Malaysian textiles, sculptures, decoration and home-wares. Adjacent to that gallery shop is the wine room, another interesting place where many guests spend time before going in the restaurant to choose a good bottle of wine or two to compliment their dinner.

Several waiters and waitresses attend the guest to find the right table to make them feel comfortable and at home. The decor of Malaysian and Indonesian antique furniture as well as the surroundings of the lush gardens providing a tranquil backdrop to the wetlands and mountain ranges bordering the resort, have a very soothing influence on the guests. The menu is a real treat of West meets spicy East. The spices come from Asia, Middle East, India, and North Africa. The creative and authentic meals are cooked from fresh meat and vegetables from the local markets and the seafood is provided by the community of local fisherman.

Lunch and dinner offers a wide choice of local and Western cuisine. Try the popular Nyonya Laksa for lunch, a traditional soup with rice noodles in creamy coconut and chilli broth topped with chicken, cucumber, prawns and omelette. Or the BBQ rock lobster tails with satay sauce, served on guava salad for dinner and for vegetarians the vegetable platter would be a good choice, consisting of mixed western and eastern vegetables. Each one of the dishes is a piece of art and a sheer delight for the palate. The main courses are generously proportioned but don’t refrain from trying one of the wickedly sinful, homemade style desserts. They are like all good desserts should be, rich, creamy and full of flavour. They are all made with real and fresh ingredients and topped off with homemade ice cream.

To finalize your feast try some dessert wine or cognac accompanied by imported aromatic cigars. Or have a retreat to Chin Chin, a refurbished antique Chinese shop house for after dinner cocktails or coffee. It is said guests keep coming back to Bon Ton for more because it is such a unique experience
