A stay here is about the orchard setting and the fruit rather than hotel-style facilities: it suits travellers who want a countryside experience away from George Town and a chance to try a wide range of durian varieties at the source. Balik Pulau is roughly a 45-minute to one-hour drive from George Town, through padi fields and fruit orchards.
