What's this?

Details

Description
We are Khairul and Nani, the owners of a start-up currently building an eco-resort on a 10-acre plantation land. We have 2 homestays with 2 rooms each beside our plantation and a cabin in the wood. We also live within the compound

We plan to have an organic farming, yoga classes, outdoor activities like barbecue, camping, a bit of eco-friendly educational fun learning and cooking.

We sometimes have weddings, family days, picnics, carnivals and plans to open a cafe.

We spent 9 great days there. Our accomodation was a very confortable cabin in nature, quiet and close to main house. Kairhul and Nani were so nice to welcome us during that busy period for them. They invited us to see how they celebrate the end of Ramadan, it was so interesting to see how is family life in Malaysia, everybody was so friendly. We… read more

They were always in contact with us the moment they cross into Malaysia from South of Thailand. As we were celebrating our Eid which Malaysian take very seriously we had to leave the farm at times and they helped us a lot in maintaining our place and keeping watch over our farm.

They were really a great help.

Amanda was a great volunteer, open to everything we suggested and so easygoing we brought her everywhere. We managed to bring her to our favorite restaurants and cafes. She went on her own excursions and explored Kuala Lumpur. We love hosting her and welcome her back anytime.

How can I explain my feelings about Nani and Khairul! They're super cool and lovely. I spent 10 days with them and unfortunately I had to come back to Iran but if I could I would spend a year with them. When I was there it was Christmas time and they took me to a Christmas party with their kind friends where I felt so happy and relaxed. Nani is… read more

Our stay here with Nani and Khairul was really nice.
We were there for 10 days in October so we had the chance to be part of the Halloween event.
We enjoyed creating the decoration and helped for the preparation.

We had also our own apartment which was quite big. We could cook on our own but they also took us to eat outside and try some good… read more

We love having both Romina and Tatiana at our place as they don't complain in doing the unscheduled chores. They were sporting enough when they have to deal with other people at our Street Book initiative, our Scary Story/Halloween event and managing the homestay

Cindy was excellent as a Workawayer. It was like a cultural exchange experience with us understanding French people better through her and she was hardworking with the tasks given. She helped us a lot at the homestay and even when we had a surprise bnb visitors from America late at night she was accommodating enough.

She was here during Ramadhan… read more

Thank you so much Nani and Khairul. Such a nice and interesting couple. I have spent 1 month at their place and I enjoyed every moment of it. They are very welcoming, happy to share the malaysian culture with you and also very interested in yours. It was really a genuine sharing, and it felt good. I had the chance to be there during Hari Raya, so… read more

We have great experience with Deva who is as German as one can be. We gave her free hands to plan her work and we love her openness to new discovery. She was easy to manage and is flexible with new task. She is quite strong in doing manual labor too. Thanks for the time you spent with us and we hope your travel will bring you back to Malaysia and… read more

I enjoyed 5 weeks at Khairul and Nani's place, mostly looking after the book café, helping out at the odd event (a writers weekend, a video shoot, a make-up class), and in the last days also doing some renovation tasks. They were always keen to introduce me to Malaysian food or twitter friends and let me follow them to KL and the various events… read more

Elise is just what we need for us to keep fit as she helps us around the property while teaching us some yoga lessons and even train us how to be physically fit. She was easy to work with and her travel stories are great to hear.

We'll be looking up for her in Belgium and hoping to experience her culture.

I had a really good time with Khairul and Nani in Malaysia in their "little" Homestay :-)
They were so welcoming with me and I loved to share some Hikes with them and some Yoga. I felt sooooo peaceful there, that's exactly what I was looking for and Khairul and Nina took me anywhere to share their activities. I loved my time with them, they are so… read more

We stayed around two months near Kuala Lumpur, in the lovely Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi (with so amazing malaysian food that we will never forget) for our first workaway experience with Nani and Khairul at their lovely new Kafe and event space.

We love hosting Levi and Brigi. They taught us about hitchhiking and their country Romania and even Europe in general. As they are the first couple we ever hosted from Workaway, they leave us with a good impression about how Workaway works.

Levi love telling stories about his travel around the world. Brigi is good at painting and leave us with… read more
