My husband and I went for our short "honeymoon" at Puteri Harbour, Johor Bahru. It's just... less than 30 mins from my MIL's home hahah! But since we got discount from Airbnb, and it was my husband's birthday few days before that, so why not?
|| WHY PUTERI HARBOUR
I looked through a lot of places but unfortunately, I can't ask for a leave that Saturday (yes, i work on saturdays too. tp half day jelah hehe) & it's best if we go somewhere not too far. Isnin kena kerja kan hahah!
There are also places near Legoland and they're cheaper than some stays here. But my husband said that we need to get to the mall to eat, and the view is not as pretty as Puteri Harbour. If you're a fan of Hello Kitty, you just need to cross the road to get to the Hello Kitty Town! and there's also DC Comic Superheroes café there.
Okay, here's the why you can choose Puteri Harbour as your next getaway:
- Kota Iskandar
- Hello Kitty town
- DC Cafe
- Thomas Town
- the harbor (nice view of boats & ships)
- easy to find halal food
- photo spots everywhere
- if you're an international tourist and don't rent a car, you don't need to worry at all because Grab is available here!
- peaceful

Regret not, because personally, I always use Airbnb for my travel, be it locally or internationally. There's always plenty of choices and discounts available that's not offered in other websites.
A great well-known tips for you though - read reviews EVERYTIME you wanna make a booking. This is not just for Airbnb, but all other websites to. Even if you wanna purchase makeup, not looking for a stay- you really should read the reviews.
I've heard one of my friend complain about a certain website. Like how she & her friend experience some bad stuffs when travelling and purchasing certain products from certain websites (not gonna mention whch website lah). Then when I ask her, do you read the reviews? she was like, "umm... no".
Review columns are not just made for fun, people. It takes time for you to save money for your trip / wishlists, so take time to read reviews too. And, if the stay/ seller is new and there's no reviews available, try it if you're willing to. But if you're not that brave to try and hesitate about the stay/ product, don't.
|| OUR STAY
We really took time in deciding which home to spend our weekend with and trust me, we were spoiled with choices of beautiful homes at Airbnb website. But the home we really wanted requires a minimum of 2 night stay, while we can only stay for 1 night only TT~TT and some are really affordable but why bother book a 3 bedroom apartment if there will be just 2 people? hahaha
So after a few days of this and that sebab kejap nak itu, kejap nak ini, we chose this stay hosted by Stephanie and she's really friendly. The home is comfortable, and organized too. First impression? the house looks exactly like the picture on AIRBNB website.
Click HERE for the stay link, and oh, parking is free!
There's a king-sized bed available and extra floor mattress is available upon request. There's no door separating the living room and the bedroom, and the home is pretty small but perfect for a couple. But, the bathroom is spacious and hot water is available too~
The host provides you with bath towel, shower foam, and shampoo too. But do bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste as this is not provided by the host yaa. Hairdryer is also available.
P/s : did I ever mention that this apartment ada bath tub? hahaha you're welcome!
The house generally is clean, and the host prepare some pots and plates too if you want to do some light cooking. Cooking ingredients are not available but there are tea and some coffee for you to make.
Washing machine is also available for you to use for free. But there's no place for you to hang the washed cloth hahaha. We didn't mind as we only stayed for one night. This house is on level 21, if not mistaken and we were so gayat up there but the view is soooo pretty!
There are swimming pool at level 7, and there are some mini playground for your kids too. We tried to get to the gym at the opposite towerof the same building but our access card cant pass the lift. hahaha
