A raw beauty at Sekeping Tenggiri


Sekeping Tenggiri ... as poetic as it name, me and hubby truly falling head over heels in love with this place. Upon stepping into this exotic house, visitors will have a view of plants of all textures, shapes and sizes, hanggin from the roof. Great views and natural ventilation from these landscapes brings out the relaxation effect for those who stay here. The retreat is a corner double storey link house which is the refurbishment of 2 original linkhouse units and feature a “back to basic”concept designed by the exceptional local landscape architect, Seksan.

We booked Courtyard Room since Skyview Room that we want not available. But we just falling in love with this room as we step-in. 

Welcome to our room, Courtyard Room ... 


As you can see, the walls are unrended and the colours of brick walls provide a cozy ambiance. The interior is adorned with very interesting pieces of local art. The fixtures and fittings are salveaged materials  from old malay kampung style houses (I truly love this concept).


While their attached bathrooms are roofless, guest can enjoy a warm bath beneath the clear blue sky.


Night scene also breathtaking ... even though we still in the city, Sekeping Tenggiri kept away from the hustle and bustle of the city life.


I choose this gorgeous retreat as our 3rd Wedding Anniversary mini retreat, a 'surprise' gift for three of us. If you interested on the idea of invitation, you can download 'DIY Valentine Popcorn Invitation' from here. While for 'DIY origami heart love note', you can download from here, and 'DIY Je t'aime coffee cup wrappers' at here. You can personalize any DIY project with your own style. I just loved these kind of cute way to make your day much more special.



I seriously enjoyed my time in Sekeping Tenggiri, so does hubby and Zafran. Definitely gonna visit this place again. Every room is worth the stay, if you appreciate uniqueness. I always inspired by Seksan Design, me and hubby truly adore the architecture and wish our own house like this (early exposure to our becoming architect aka Zafran ... hehehe).



The address is 48, Jalan Tenggiri, Taman Bukit Pantai, and you can see some pictures here and read an interview with Seksan about it here. Here is the video tour for you. I wish I can be a lodging reviewer, introduce a different lodging experience from the usual hotels. Till then, wait for my next recipe post, special recipe for our wedding anniversary.
