The Perling Houses are two separate units -Perling Air and Perling Bukit- that are interconnected by a deck. The house is named after a bird, the Asian Glossy Starling , and it architecture is an infused blend of traditional Malay architecture and contemporary elements.

The houses look out on the jungle, and the river’s whisper can be heard from them. Our lower pool, which has the kids’ pool, is also just 10 meters away.

Perling Air and Perling Bukit can be booked together or separately.

Negeri Sembilan or Nine States (or districts) because it contains nine districts; is affectionately known as Negeri or Nogori in the local dialect, it certainly is a unique state in Malaysia.

Most of its original Malay population came from the Padang region of Sumatra in the 18th and 19th centuries and are known as Minangkabau or Minang people. It is a matrilineal culture known for exemplary hospitality and distinctive cuisine within Malaysian culture.

Also distinct is their dramatic yet practical roof architecture, which rises up at the corners, letting heat rise and leaving the house cool. You can view this roof in state buildings in Seremban and one magnificent centenary house in Pantai. It is on the right as you leave Pantai, heading towards Seremban.

The Dusun
Designed for families, couples and close friends

Nobody likes those double beds with a ravine running down the middle when two single beds are pushed together. So we only have double beds and single in the larger houses.

The Dusun is designed for connecting with loved ones - quiet moments, awe-inspiring views, reading together, gentle walks, cooking up storms, lingering meals and long, deep talks.

The original Dusun house is named after the majestic Tembusu tree, which provides shade throughout the day and infuses the space with its fragrant scent during the flowering season. Tembusu house has an open layout, allowing the bedroom to feel as though it's nestled among the trees.

Do you notice that ideas come to you in the shower, while driving or when you're about to fall asleep?

So many creative people have enjoyed making music, writing, painting, drawing, and brainstorming during their stay here. We have even had some offline company retreats. A bit of space plus a bit of time steeped in nature, and you'll surprise yourself.

In 2016, we created a beautiful music residency called Soundlab. 16 musicians from all over Southeast Asia and Germany spent 10 days at The Dusun making music together. It was sponsored by -Institut Malaysia, and a limited edition CD was produced.

Although each house has a kitchen, we do cater meals for those who prefer not to cook.

Catered food is cooked on the Patio, where only our staff are allowed to cook so we can control a halal environment. When it comes to traditional Malaysian cuisine, this is as authentic as you can get. And we also have Western classics, if that's what you feel like.

All organic waste is sent to our compost bins which is then used to fertilise our gardens.

Emas, meaning "golden" in Malay, is a traditional Malay house made of reclaimed hardwood and adorned with distinctive pieces salvaged by Helen from junkyards.

The house's carved panels and shutter windows are designed for coolness. Made of a light-coloured wood with a golden tint, this house also faces the sunset and lights the house up in a golden hue. Emas House also offers a tranquil panorama spanning across miles of rolling hills towards the Straits of Malacca. The house is very private as it is set at the end of a gently sloping path of steps.

Meet the other residents of The Dusun!

We have two chicken coops. Guests may enter one of them with our staff’s guidance.

Our little deer family has two enclosures. We let the grass in the first enclosure grow back while they live in the second one. So do check which enclosure the deer are in if you’d like to visit them.

We are pesticide-free here at The Dusun. Pesticides are unnecessary as our grown fruit trees are resilient. Chicken manure mixed with woodchips is a favourite fertilizer of our resident farmer.

The artisans at Kinder Soaps made these soap and shampoo bars for us. The soap is lemongrass and mint scented pure coconut oil and is only available for our guests. The shampoo is called The Mane Event and has a touch of coal in it so you can tell between the bars.

Both smell heavenly, perfect for our little piece of paradise and makes our shower waste water environmentally friendly.
