Enjoy village life style at Melaka Homestay throughout the year. Be at home with sarong and baju melayu sitting at the old wooden verandah eating local fruits like durians, duku, langsat and rambutans. Walk at paddy fields… feel the open air breeze and wet your feet at the muddy field. Lunch malay style – sit cross legged with no spoon or fork and the menu are full of spices and chillies – extra hot!.
