| The front entrance to Villa Khasro |
Villa Khasro is a traditional Malay kampung house made of solid hardwood located in the heart of the small kampong of Janda Baik, Pahang. The house is airy and spacious and furnished with antique wood furniture. The fresh kampong air and its proximity to the capital city, Kuala Lumpur, makes the house an ideal weekend getaway for busy city folk. In the morning, when the wooden windows of Villa Khasro are pushed open, the view includes an expansive garden in front of the house as well as Gunung Naung in the distance.
Janda Baik has recently become popular with city folk and the normally sleepy kampong is often busy during the weekends. Some of the activities that can be organised, with Villa Khasro as the base, are bathing in the river, hiking - including up Gunung Naung - bicycling, as well as fishing for
tilapia and other fresh-water fish at the near by family-run lake retreat in Sungai Panjang. In 2015, short excursions can be organised to the family orchard in Gombak, located approximately 30 km west of Janda Baik.
