Our private experience program — RM1,000 per stay, minimum 2 nights. A dedicated Reserve Host is assigned to you when you book, calls you beforehand, plans your itinerary and coordinates every vendor. It also includes a welcome basket, a card, refreshments on arrival and a complimentary campfire.

Question 17

Can we bring a private chef or caterer?

Yes. The estate kitchen is fully equipped. External vendors need approving for site access, which is a security process, not a commercial one.

Question 18

Do you take commission from vendors?

Accepted Answer

No. No commissions, no markups, no referral fees, ever. We recommend people because they have been good here, and we will never negotiate on your behalf or accept anything from a vendor for a referral.

Question 19

Can you guarantee a vendor will be available?

Accepted Answer

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We will do everything we can to coordinate, but availability is confirmed by the vendor, not by us.

100 guests. That is a hard ceiling set by parking, bathrooms and safe occupancy.
