Part of the experience of living is the experience itself. Speaking of experiences in Malaysia, I would strongly encourage the idea of living in an area where you are transported to dreams by the lullabies sung my throating crickets and falling leaves; and waking up to filtered sunlight cocktailed with the scent of green.
Nestled amongst the state of Selangor’s secondary rainforests, is the eco-tourism spot of “Sekeping Serendah” literally translated to ‘a piece of Serendah’ which is less than an hour’s drive from the city.
I just had to pick this place for the Company’s weekend retreat. My friends who have their own testimonials about this place will never let me off the hook if I didn’t secure this.
I absolutely love the glass sheds here. Contradictory from the lack of visual privacy, I partially enjoy the vista of no walls. Quite a treat for those with a voyeuristic fetish as well.
The glass shed is a simple construction of wood, glass and zinc sheets equipped with cooking utensils, a microwave, some basic furniture and is incredibly airy and cool. BBQ pit right on your front door too.
My glass shed had a hammock! Whee!
A narrow banister-free wooden stairs takes you up to a cozy bed room with a view of green to die for.
Yes. Most of the bedding materials are from Ikea. The mattress is placed on a huge wired mesh (which I keep hammering my toes into by accident and it hurts!) but surprisingly comfortable 
Oh, yes. EVERYONE wants to know what the toilets are like. No worries. HEATED WATER…in the open air. Happy will you be to have not only water streaming down your head but leaves and small twigs going ‘Geronimo’. I swear you may get a tiny shock or two with a brief impression that a lizard has just lost it’s grip and drops by to say hi in your comfort zone.
Fart in the toilet and maybe hear an echo or two amplified through the vibrations of the zinc walls.
Then again. How could you pass this out? The night is teeming with life and parts of the retreat bathes in the soft yellow glow of spotlights.
A piece of heaven, right here on earth .
Wow! This place looks cool!! Might have to take a note of it so I can bring my family there or even the staff at mum’s kindie for a retreat! Love the design of the building!!!
looks lovely !! perfect for bringing the gang and creating havoc !!!! hahahahaha
Nice pics. have heard about sekeping serendah b4. It’s always been my dream to own a weekend getaway in the woods. Maybe someday soon, my little ‘piece of heaven on earth’ on a hilltop with a view of a wooded valley & a soothing clear running stream. =)
