Description
Set next to the cascading and crystal clear Merbok Waterfalls, the Retreat is a cozy and uniquely designed private resort home. It is located next to the Lembah Bujang Archeological Museum, which is the oldest Hindu civilization in South East Asia. The resort home is set at the foot of Gunung Jerai, the highest mountain of Kedah.
Steven is living here for the last few decades. He would love to share his love for nature at his place. He is looking for 2-3 volunteers over 25 years old (non smokers only) at a time to help.
