Facilities

Facilities include security, parking lot and landscaped garden.

Location

Villa Sri Kenanga is 9.4 km from Komtar. It is about mid way between the north and south part of the island. Using the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, you can reach the city in 15 minutes if there is no traffic jam. Due to its proximity to the Penang Bridge, Batu Uban suffers from congestion created by traffic heading towards the bridge, particularly on Friday evening, when people rush to get out of Penang for the weekend.

Public Transport

Rapid Penang Bus No. 301, 303 and 304 pass along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah.

Amenities

The nearest schools to Villa Sri Kenanga are Sekolah Kebangsaan Sungai Gelugor, Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Phor Tay, and three Chinese primary schools, Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan (Cina) Keong Hoe in Sungai Dua; and Kwang Hwa Primary School and Shih Chung (Primary) Branch School in Sungai Nibong. The nearest market from Batu Uban is at Lip Sin. The nearest shopping mall is Queensbay Mall. The nearest hypermarkets are Tesco Extra and Lotus's Penang, both about the same distance away. The nearest petrol station from Batu Uban is the Mobil at Pantai Jerejak and the Caltex next to Lotus's Penang. There isn't a hospital really nearby. Pantai Hospital and Lam Wah Ee Hospital are both about equal distance away.

Traffic

Villa Sri Kenanga is in Batu Uban, which is like an island surrounded by major roads. Due to the high density and inadequate parking space, many tenants of neighbouring blocks park their vehicles along the roadside outside their condominium. Nevertheless traffic is smooth except during the evening rush hour, when traffic congestion from the Penang Bridge often spill onto the two aforementioned major roads.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
