How to go to Malihom Retreat

A lot of people do not know how to go to Malihom Retreat. It is located in the hills between Teluk Kumbar and Balik Pulau. If you are coming from the direction of Bayan Lepas, go along Jalan Teluk Kumbar in the direction of Balik Pulau. Be on the look out for the signboard for Bukit Genting on your left, and a white water tank on your right. This is how it looks like:

Look out for Bukit Genting on your left and white water tank on your right.

Continue driving for another 150 meters. The road is now entering the elevated portion. Now look out for an exit on the right, with what I would describe as a "tiny" brown signboard for Malihom. That's where you turn in.

This is where you turn right to Malihom.
