Mantin Forest Art Farmstay — Hotel in Negeri Sembilan

I feel compelled to address some recent negative reviews about Mantin Forest Art Farmstay, as my experience could not have been more different. It's clear to me that there's a misunderstanding, and I want to set the record straight.

Firstly, the accusation of racism towards the lady owner couldn't be further from the truth. During my stay, I witnessed nothing but professionalism and kindness from the staff. The farmstay operates on a reservation basis to ensure the comfort and safety of all guests. The incident involving motorcyclists was not about race but rather about respecting the property's rules and the rights of existing guests. These individuals arrived unannounced, disturbing the peace with their loud bikes and disregarding parking regulations. It's understandable that they were asked to adhere to the property's policies.

Regarding the entry fee, it's important to recognize that Mantin Forest Art Farmstay is a privately-owned property, not a public space. As such, they have the right to enforce entry fees for non-guests who wish to enjoy the facilities. This policy ensures that paying guests can fully enjoy their experience without disturbance.

Additionally, the negative reviews seem to stem from a group of individuals who were upset about being denied access to certain amenities due to full occupancy. It's unfortunate that they chose to express their frustration through damaging reviews rather than understanding the situation. The farmstay staff handled the situation professionally and prioritized the comfort of their existing guests.

It's evident to me that Mantin Forest Art Farmstay takes great pride in providing a peaceful and welcoming environment for their guests. The artistic atmosphere, comfortable accommodations, and attentive staff make for a truly unforgettable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a retreat in nature. Let's not allow a few misguided reviews tarnish the reputation of such a wonderful establishment.

My advise on how to enjoy this Farmstay, please book a chalet in advance and judge...

Back to Nature Retreat!

It was a spontaneous decision to make a family outing to Mantin Forest Art Resort last Friday after checking out FB reviews.

We wanted somewhere nearby KL and an hour plus drive was just right for a 2D1N stay for a group of 13 pax from 13 months to 90 yrs of age.

Since it was a week day, we practically had the whole resort to ourselves. The owner was friendly and accommodating. As listed in the website, there were many activities for us to do. Some of us sang karaoke, played mahjong & pool, swam and kayaked in the pond as well.

Dinner was served promptly and was indeed a generous serving of dishes to satisfy our hungry bellies.

It was a relaxing evening and we continued with our karaoke and mahjong with supper being served and bedtime at 1130pm.

The next morning, after breakfast the owner and her staff brought us for a guided tour of the resort. We had fun activities including horse riding, goats and fish feeding, hill trekking peacocks , ostriches, deers and rabbit sightings and held beautiful parrots on our arms for photo shoot as well. Along the way, there were many fruit trees and durian tree right up close to the entrance.

It was overall a refreshing change from the hustle bustle of the city as we were surrounded by the scenic hills, fish pond, and natural environment. The many statues and carvings positioned around the resort added some charm to the landscape. There were quite a collection of antique furnitures and chinese paintings for viewing too.

Overall, it's a great place for all age group with various fun activities in a tranquil, back to nature environment. Suitable place for family or...

Had a great experience here! Beautiful setting, great facilities, comfortable accommodation and lots of fun activities available. There are many gorgeous birds and animals for feeding experiences. (The baby goat was an unexpected joy - especially cute and friendly.) But as a nature lover, the natural wildlife along the waterfront and hiking trails were the real gem!

Saw a range of wild birds: kingfishers, zebra doves, swifts and swallows, etc, even a stork. The highlight were the baya weaver birds right by the chalets, you could see them bringing leaves to weave their nests! A more experienced bird watcher will probably be able to catch more species.

Other wildlife included lizards and geckos, pill millipedes, orb weavers, various sizeable grasshoppers and butterflies (in the right season, atlas moths). For those who don't like creepy crawlies, they're off the path and would have gone unnoticed if we didn't pay attention!

The staff were brilliant, friendly and caring. They made sure there were veggie options even though we forgot to mention in our registration form. The food was great with good variety. From their interactions with the animals they also clearly understand and care for them individually. They showed us the best way to feed their animals and shared knowledge of...
