Villa Sentosa — Attraction in Malacca

A very nostalgic home located in the middle of Kampung Morten. Limited parking space. Not required fee to enter this house. Ooen from 11:00am - 5:30pm. May walk or went there via cruise as well. Located near kg. Morten bridge.

Upon our arrival, we warmly welcomed by the house owner, Mr. Ibrahim. During house tour, he explained about his family lineage from his great2 grandfather until his generation which originally came from Sungai Puah, West Sumatera, Indonesia.

He brought us for the house tour. He explained us the history of the house, the function of each area of the house including the origin of Kg. Morten name.

Interesting visit. At here, we still able to see antique collection like records, traditional games like congkak, antique dishware and many more.

Being here made me felt like back to village since the house design, the aura of home and Mr. Ibrahim himself same age as my late grandfather.

Wish Mr. Ibrahim stay healthy and the house will be preserved for youngster and future...

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Melaka. The place looked closed at first but we walked further to the front of the building to a big open gate (shown in photo). We had a lovely warm welcome from the owner of the house whose dad had the place built around 100 years ago. We sat and spoke, got to know eachother as he stated that guests of this place are friends. He wants to get to know your story aswell as sharing his own. He speaks of the history of the house, past visitors, ceremonies held at the house and shows you around, speaking of his and the history along with artefacts places around the house. No charge but donation box provided as this place is not funded by any government/UNESCO organisation but is recognised as a historical place in Melaka. 10/10 visit, would...

Villa Sentosa is the biggest Malacca traditional house situated in Kampung Morten which is at the center of Malacca.

When you go inside the building a friendly and helpful guide will show you around the house which holds many traditional household items from the time the village was first built. You will find the visit very nice as the guide is interactive and will answer any questions that a visitor may have. Visitors are very welcomed by the people there. This living museum will be very worthwhile for anyone who loves to have an experience and interactive tour of a traditional...
