is a privately-owned Edwardian Anglo-Malay bungalow set in an oasis of tropical gardens. It is just ten minutes by trishaw from the vibrant living culture of the world heritage site of Penangs, Georgetown.

It was opened to guests in 2009 by the award winning hotelier Christopher Ong, returning to his hometown. The house now has new owners Jo and Jim Lim also returning 'home.'

The sensitive conservation and restoration, inspired by Peranakan heritage, of this once dilapidated bungalow has captured the spirit of this mercantile city and its fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian and English heritage.

Clove Hall's fertile grounds, carved out of the original Sarkie Brothers coconut plantation, have been transformed into a sultry tropical garden, verdant with spice trees and flowering plants.

It is the perfect showcase for a collection of local antiques, artwork and furnishings. Combining the best of the past with modern conveniences.

This heritage House was listed on Conde Nast Travellers Hot new places to stay and the Luxe List in 2010.

With only six elegant and luxurious suites Clove hall offers privacy, personalised service and modern comforts. This tropical oasis offers a beautiful and chilled hideout from which to discover Penang's amazing food, the heritage and cultural diversity, and explore the islands, hills, forests and beaches.
