For those who want to enjoy nature with niceties, Tanah Larwina is located in a three-acre orchard only an hour’s drive from the city. Faisol Hussain, the owner and operator of Tanah Larwina, is an experienced civil engineer-slash-weekend farmer who built Tanah Larwina as a “passion project”. To that end, his Tanah Larwina is outfitted with a barbecue pit, campfire area, a kitchen with all the necessities, not one or two but five washrooms, a pool, picnic tables, and even an electric vehicle charger on-site.
It’s perfect for big groups and families as the glasshouse villa sleeps a minimum of eight guests, but add-on arrangements for the Bilik Tigaguna and pods can be made to accommodate up to 16 pax. If you prefer to rough it out instead, camping is possible on-site. With no cell reception or Internet, you might — dare we — actually enjoy going off-grid. Did we mention there are free-roaming farm animals? (We counted a couple of baby goats, bunnies, geeses, and a pony. But there must be more.) When the fruit season arrives, between July and August, you’ll be able to enjoy a free flow of durians, rambutans, mangosteen, cempedak, langsat and more. Don’t go picking them yourselves though; seek out the caretakers for fruit-picking to avoid damage to the trees. Faisol observes a strict halal policy, so no alcohol or pork meals are allowed, please.
