The ever popular guesthouses are another quiet attraction not widely known even among locals. Superbly situated along Batu Ferringhi's beach front, and uniquely camouflaged by greenery, some of these guesthouses are old colonial houses which have been left to make a name for themselves. Turned into Guesthouses, they provide an atmosphere of historical significance, with the beaches to complete the setting.
