KARUNA
36 Balik Pulau in Penang is
often well-known for its rural
lifestyle and the abundance of
farms, as opposed to its island
counterpart. Karuna Hill is one
of the many lodgings with an
attractive nature view of the
forest tucked away in Balik
Pulau. The view of the lodging
itself is quite dramatic with hills
in the background and ample of
outdoor seating space to relax
while you enjoy your tea and
coffee.
The chalet itself features basic
amenities you would find at any
other lodgings however; the
HILL
most defining feature would be
its outdoor bath overlooking the
hills and giant trees surrounding
it. Karuna Hill is also known to
host wedding ceremonies for
those who are interested in a
more rustic and nature theme to
their wedding. Now, Malaysians
should probably keep this
lodging under their radar as
this Karuna Hill is surrounded
by durian trees! If you’re lucky,
do visit them during durian
season to get first-hand taste of
harvested durians right at your
doorstep.
