A shallow stream running through a swamp (background) is what's left of a paleo river at the Sungai Batu excavation site. Carbon dating on iron ingots and other findings at the site indicate a port civilisation, with a thriving iron smelting industry that predates Angkor Wat, Cambodia and Borobudur, Java.

5/5 Excellent

"Beautiful, modern style hotel with amazing view. Everyone is welcoming and very helpful. A good location that’s in between George Town and Batu Ferringhi beach, so I highly recommend if staying in Penang."

Gurney Bay Hotel, A PARKROYAL PARTNER HOTEL

5/5 Excellent

"Amazing stay, friendly staff and beautiful views of the coast from our upgraded room with sea views. Got the breakfast upgrade and it was worth it at $2/pp. Across the hotel is a skatepart and slides which is part of Pennangs expansion project so this hotel is a central location for enjoying the facilities being built. If you like halal food just go out of the hotel and walk, left, it'll have th best street food, halal wagyu, and a fresh seafood spot called Ikran Bakar and they fry you fresh fish with some spicy paste on top and its to die for. Also a short walk from the mall where you can buy a long board to get around like i did."
