"The location is far from beach which need 15 minutes drive to beach but it's nearby main road to find food so you don't need to worry midnight craving for food. The towels were smelly so better bring your own towel. Overall is house is big enough to cater a big family and relative but not suitable for small family like 3 - 5 person."

Which area of Bandar Penawar is best to stay in for cheap hotels?

When is the most affordable time to visit Bandar Penawar?
