Tucked within the mountains of Ipoh, Perak, is Rocky Farm – a therapeutic retreat surrounded by lush greenery. It’s run by a retired couple, who were inspired to build various themed rooms in a secluded area, so they could continue to ‘travel’ while retiring by a peaceful hillside.

If you wish to travel to Japan without a passport, there are several Japanese-style rooms at Rocky Farm. These accommodations are inspired by a ryokan – or a traditional Japanese inn – with its wooden exterior. Inside, you’ll find comfortable, modern furnishings including a large bed and a TV.

Surrounding these rooms is a Japanese-inspired garden with picturesque trees that adds to the zen vibes here.

Seashell-inspired homes and European villas

Another themed accommodation here is the Little Mermaid House – a wonderfully whimsical room with a ‘seashell’ roof. It’s reminiscent of this Seashell House in Mexico that has been enthralling mermaid fans around the world.

There are two pristinely white seashell rooms at Rocky Farm that stand out amidst the lush greenery – one of them is a kitchen, and the other is a sanctuary with a comfortable bed and minimal decor items for guests to spend a night in.

You can also travel back in time by checking in at their European-style brick villa. These no-frills, yet comfortable and homey, rooms inside the castle-inspired building let guests have the experience of staying in a countryside cottage.

As the owners are particular about the privacy and safety of their guests, a booking must be made before your visit. Prices for a night’s stay ranges from RM168 to RM350. They have a selection of 10 rooms to choose from – five Castle Rooms, four Japanese Rooms, and one The Little Mermaid room.
