White Glamping Homestay Private Pool Kuala Kedah — A Chill Family Staycation in the North

The Vibe

Let me be upfront — this is not a campsite where you're pitching tents on grass and waking up to bird calls. White Glamping Homestay is a private homestay with a pool, and it's the kind of place you book when you want the getaway feeling without actually roughing it. Think clean house, air-conditioning, private pool, and enough space for the whole family to just lepak.

The "glamping" in the name is a bit loose — it's more of a homestay experience than an actual glamping setup. But honestly? Nobody who stayed here seems to have complained about that. It's a quiet, private escape in Kuala Kedah — away from the noise, close enough to town if you need anything, and genuinely relaxing. The kind of place where you show up, dump your bags, and someone immediately jumps into the pool.

This one pulls in families, especially during long weekends and school holidays. Raya bookings fill up fast. If you're looking for somewhere the kids can swim while the adults makan and sembang, this fits the bill perfectly.

Getting There

The address is No 47, Jalan Limbongan 1/4, Taman Andaman, 06600 Kuala Kedah. Plug it into Google Maps and it'll take you right there — the area is a residential neighbourhood in Kuala Kedah, so nothing complicated. Standard tarmac roads all the way, no 4WD needed, no drama.

Kuala Kedah itself is easy to reach. If you're coming from Alor Setar, it's about 20 minutes out. From Penang, roughly an hour via the Butterworth side. One reviewer mentioned that the host gives clear directions before check-in, so if you're unsure, just WhatsApp them at 018-365 5414 before you leave the house.

What to Expect

You're getting a fully air-conditioned house with a private pool — that's the main draw. The pool is spacious enough for kids to actually swim around (not just dip their feet), and the house comes with cooking utensils, so you can bring your own groceries and cook. No need to tapau every meal. The setup is clean and well-maintained based on what guests are saying, which matters a lot when you're bringing the whole family.

This is squarely a beginners-and-families kind of stay. Don't come expecting jungle sounds or campfire vibes. Come expecting comfort, privacy, and a pool that makes your kids very happy. If you're a hardcore camper looking for something rustic, this isn't your spot — and that's fine. It's not trying to be that.

Crowd level is private by design — you're booking the whole place, so it's just your group. That's the beauty of it. No strangers sharing facilities, no random people wandering in.

Facilities

Swimming Pool

Spacious and the clear highlight of the place. Kids love it. Multiple reviewers brought this up specifically — it's the reason families keep coming back.

Air-Conditioning

Fully air-conditioned throughout. Kedah heat is no joke, so this is not a minor detail.

Kitchen

Kitchen is stocked with cooking utensils. Bring your own ingredients — wet market run before you check in is a solid move.

Cleanliness

Consistently mentioned across reviews. Clean and well-maintained. The host clearly keeps up with this.

Pillows and Bedding

One guest flagged this — could use 1-2 extra pillows and blankets. If you're a big group, just bring your own extras to be safe.

What Campers Are Saying

A family who stayed during Hari Raya Haji said the pool was the highlight — the kids were in there the whole time, and everyone left satisfied. They highlighted how peaceful the location was, which is a bit surprising for a Kuala Kedah neighbourhood, but it seems like Taman Andaman is genuinely low-key and quiet.

Another guest pointed out something small but important — the booking process was smooth and the host sent clear directions before arrival. No guessing games, no last-minute panic about how to get there. That kind of efficiency makes a real difference on a family trip.

One reviewer specifically praised the kitchen setup — fully equipped, easy to bring your own wet ingredients and cook. So if your family has specific food preferences or just doesn't want to eat out every meal, you're covered.

The only constructive feedback across all the reviews? More pillows and blankets would be nice for bigger groups. Everything else — the comfort, cleanliness, hospitality, pool — got nothing but thumbs up.

TAHAN Tip

This place books up fast around school holidays and public holidays — Raya especially. Don't wait until a week before. Call or WhatsApp the host at 018-365 5414 as early as possible to lock in your dates. Also, since the kitchen is fully equipped, do a quick grocery run at Mydin or Tesco in Alor Setar before heading to Kuala Kedah — it's your cheapest and easiest option before you hit the kampung roads. Cook together, eat together. That's the whole point of a place like this.

If your family loves poolside hangs and you need proper back support for sleeping in a new place, the TAHAN Panthera Inflatable Sleeping Pad is worth packing — it's thick, comfortable, and the integrated pillow means one less thing to worry about (especially since the reviewer flagged that pillows can run short here). Packs small, makes a big difference.
