The Byan House Villa

The Byan House is a small cluster of three cottages set in a large yard with a lake on Jalan Air Ranggong, north-east of central Tanjung Pandan. The setting is rural and peaceful, with a gazebo by the water and open views that guests say are especially beautiful at sunrise.

Each cottage is bright and clean, with a bedroom, bathroom and kitchen for self-catering, so it suits couples and families who want a quiet base. Bike rental can be arranged, and the town is not far away. Reviewers who rented the whole site found it calm and relaxing, though some flag practical points to check before arrival: occasional power cuts and unstable internet, no breakfast or dining room service, and the need to confirm an emergency contact if staff are not on site.

Go with realistic expectations: this is a peaceful retreat with few services, best for travellers who have their own transport and enjoy cooking. Tanjung Pandan's restaurants and Tanjung Pendam beach are a short drive away, and the north coast is around 40 minutes. Booking is arranged through the owner by phone or WhatsApp.
