Providing access to architect Ng Seksan’s superlative private collection of contemporary Malaysian art – displayed in the rooms of the adjoining house – this is a lovely place to stay. The rough-luxe mix of concrete, wood and wire decor (with cleverly recycled materials making up lamp fixtures) is softened by abundant garden greenery and a cooling plunge pool.

There’s a basic kitchen, a housekeeper and plenty of great places to eat on nearby Lg Kurau. The owners also run the similar Sekeping Terasek nearby as well as several other properties in KL and around Malaysia.
