Durian Farmstay

Malacca’s hidden gem · Cheng, Melaka
A family-owned tropical fruit farm, two wooden cottages and space to camp, just a 15-minute drive from historic Melaka.
Three generations, one family farm
Our farm in Cheng has belonged to the Chong family since the late 1800s. Of its nine acres, six are home to fruit trees, accommodation and recreation; three acres of hillside remain natural forest.
Explore around 20 types of fruit trees, from premium durians to coconuts, guavas, rambutans and mangosteens.
Pause by the pond
Rest at our wooden Pondok beside the lotus pond. Watch haruan, keli, sepat and tortoises in the water. When lotus flowers are in season, ask us about taking a bloom to enjoy.

Before your visit
Yes. Cottages charge RM20 per pet. Keep pets leashed and supervised, clean up after them, and keep noisy or aggressive behaviour under control. Do not leave pets unattended in cottages, vehicles or around the farm.
Pets must be house-trained; use a pet diaper indoors if needed. No pets on beds, sofas or other furniture. Clean accidents immediately and inform the housekeeper, Pak Yantor. Odours, stains or damage may incur a cleaning fee of at least RM50.
Seven friendly dogs roam the property. Introduce your pet slowly and calmly, keep it on a leash, and watch interactions closely, especially at the first meeting.
Zephyr Kitchen & Bar 临湖·园 is on the farm, serving Thai fusion dinners with occasional live music until 11:30 PM. Alley Bites Cafe is a two-minute drive away for local coffee and breakfast. More shops, malls, cafés and restaurants are about five minutes away by car.
Bring insect repellent, a torch, closed-toe walking shoes, sunscreen, your toothbrush and toothpaste, chargers, and games or books. Towels, shampoo and body gel are provided. Bring food, snacks and your own cooking equipment; a fridge, microwave and kettle are available.
A refundable RM100 Touch ’n Go deposit is due at least three days before check-in. It is returned within two working days after check-out if everything is in good condition.
Bookings are non-refundable. Request date changes at least 14 days before check-in; changes depend on availability and carry a 10% administration fee.
Explore at your own risk: paths may be uneven or slippery, and fruit may fall during durian season. Wear closed-toe shoes, supervise children at all times and put rubbish in the bins provided. Do not pick or collect durians without a host or staff member accompanying you.
