Casugria only has 4 chalets so do not expect to see many other guests in the common areas like other hotels if you are into mingling and socializing. While Jonker and Heeren street may not be at your doorstep, they’re only 900 metres away and 15 minutes by foot. Because of this, there is less noise, less congestion, better and modern comfort, more privacy and most important a spacious garden with swimming pool. It’s nice to go to Jonker and Heeren but to swim and chill, Casugria offers perfect privacy and exclusivity.

Safe haven for solo female travellers with modern facilities. Coming from the Dutch Speaking part of Belgium I wanted to stay somewhere in Melaka with a strong connection to Dutch Colonial History. Casugria represents the romantic essence of the Dutch Colonial charm being the former residence of one of the last Dutch Governor of Melaka, but with modern comfort. Another requirement besides comfort was safety as I was travelling on my own, and you can not find a safer accommodation than Casugria. It only has 4 chalets available with a lot of privacy as it offers an exclusive access for registered guests only. The main gates stay safely locked for privacy, exclusivity and safety. Essentially, because of this exclusivity and of its market positioning by default you may rest assured that those staying at Casugria value privacy, exclusivity, safety, decency and courtesy. Basically you get what you pay in terms of ultimate privacy and exclusivity. The accommodation itself (chalet, pool, garden), and the food as well, are all excellent and perhaps even among the best in Malaysia. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy the genuine hospitality and kindness of the hosts Sean and Natasha with delicious meal preparations they offer you during the day to have the best holiday experience possible.

I loved everything about my stay at Casugria, Natasha, Sean and Elizabeth made me feel right at home. As a solo female traveler, I love to be able to recommend places that make me feel welcome, comfortable and secure, 10 out of 10 for all 3. I didn't' have to ask for a thing, Natasha and Sean had everything covered from welcoming snacks and eating recommendations, to organizing transfers to and from the airport, nothing was too much trouble at all. I will be back.

The design & concept on itself - the chalets are very conveniently located & there are great common areas - the pool & garden are just amazing! Natasha & Sean are so friendly & will ensure that your stay is exceptional! Don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations (sight seeing & culinary). Great catering of local delicacies!

When we arrived we were a bit surprised-behind a high wall close in the city off a busy road but the house and garden is insulated from this and we came to appreciate the security this provided as well as the wonderful warm welcome and character of the residence

The owners are incredibly hospitable and welcoming into their garden and the grounds of their home. They were so helpful in giving us advice on exploring Malacca. We felt they treated us so kindly like good friends. Food freshly cooked, food hygiene good and delicious to eat. Unlimited tea , coffee, water. Casugria is a character property and family home and there is the opportunity to learn so much more about Malaysia . The pool is clean, private in a lovely setting. Walking distance to most attractions.

Wow. Casugria is a jewel. Easy walking distance to everything you'll want to visit in Melaka, yet outside the insanity of the historic center. Lovely accommodations. Gracious hosts that know how to perfectly balance privacy with an amazing experience of the harmony and hospitality that is Malaysia. I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Melaka... Don't miss this special place!

As a seasoned mature traveller, i can honestly say that i have never received Hospitality like this before. Sean and Natasha are the friendliest and nicest host you are ever likely to meet. Nothing is to much trouble, if there is something you require. This is must stay when visiting Malacca.

Beautiful haven away from the hustle and bustle of Melaka (but within walking distance of the old centre). Lovely property with all you could need for a comfortable stay. Loved having a pool to cool down in at end of the day and the shared sitting/dining area was great. We didn’t get to meet Sean and his family in person as they were away but communication with him was excellent and he was very responsive, friendly and helpful. Elizabeth and Rosemary were there at the property to make us feel so welcome and at home. Would highly recommend a stay at Casugria.

Casugria is a Boutique Private Residential Accommodation and not a hotel per se. So do not expect to see many people during your stay to socialize or mingle around with. Although the rates at Casugria are competitive they may be out of reach for the average man on the street due to the exclusivity of there being only 4 chalets available. Rates are not reduced even when occupancy is low, to protect existing guests already booked in, so do not expect any discounts or last minute reductions.

Casugria is the only Boutique private landed residential accomodation with an exotic turquoise resort pool and a lush verdant garden within a radius of 1km from the Jonker and Heeren areas. To be precise Casugria is a mere 900 metres away from Jonker and Heeren. On the average it takes 15-18 minutes to walk to Jonker and Heeren. It is certainly worth the walk as almost all hotels and accommodations in the vicinity of Jonker and Heeren are shophouse hotels that do not have a spacious garden let alone a sizeable pool. My family and i were pleasantly suprised at the initiative of the owner Sean who got in touch with us prior to check in. Needless to say we were given a very warm welcome and made to feel right at home from the moment we were greeted at the gates of Casugria. Check in was a breeze and instead of the usual hassle of tedious registration we were settled in comfortably and speedily which was great as we were tired after the long journey from JB. Another great aspect of staying in Casugria is that there are only 4 chalets available for rent at any one time. Since there are only 4 chalets in Casugria on most occasions you would have a lot of privacy to chill and while your day away in the many nooks and crannies of the property. As Casugria is a private residence and not a hotel, the general public are not allowed to casually walk in. Only registered guests from the 4 chalets are allowed access. This made our stay very private and exclusive. Breakfast was generous, varied and changed daily. What however makes breakfast special here, is that we could listen to chirping birds perched on the many trees and plants in Casugria while enjoying our freshly cooked breakfast. Our chalet was ultimately very quiet due to the excellent soundproofing and my family and i had the most satisfying deep sleep ever on both nights at Casugria.

Nothing. Everything was lovely and very memorable.

Beautiful, serene gardens which offered tranquility not far from all the renowned attractions of Melacca. The pool was so lovely and peaceful. Hosts are amazing, so helpful and went far and beyond expectations. It was good to stay in a Dutch heritage home and support some Malacca history. This offered a better and more personal experience to hotels and is highly recommended.

The enclosed garden and lovely little pool were a delight to return to after sightseeing in the busy historic centre of Malacca. We also loved Sean and Elizabeth's helpfulness in every way possible. The little common room with snacks and drinks to help oneself was a nice touch. The grounds and pool were beautiful and there were plenty of seating areas both shady and sunny. I even did my yoga on the lawn each morning before the generous breakfast which was a combination of home cooked Malaysian and European food.

1. Take Note Casugria is a Private Boutique accommodation and not a branded hotel chain. 2. Our stay of 3 nights was way too short and by the time we arrived we could not extend our stay as Casugria was already fully booked beyond our 3 nights.

Absolutely No Regrets Booking Casugria Dutch Residences Malacca 1. A very Warm & ‘Generous’ Welcome by the super friendly and kind hosts. 2. Tons of exclusivity as only 4 chalets for rent on such a big property. 3. High security as unlike hotels, entry into Casugria grounds is only for registered guests. Public not allowed in at all. 4. Maximum Privacy as we had our own self-contained independent cottage chalet unit in the garden near the pool. 5. The pool is 10 metres away, i did not have to worry about my child swimming. 6. Most of the time we had the pool to ourselves. 7. Our chalet was spotless, bathroom very clean, garden manicured and pool crystal clear. 8. Breakfast at the Dinning Pavillion is just 30metres away and you do not need to queue or register for it. 9. Breakfast was freshly cooked to our needs and was more than enough, we could not eat lunch. 10. Location is in the city and surrounded by Chinese, Thai, Malay, Indian & Peranakan Nyonya restaurants. 11. Location is a mere 220 metres from Pahlawan Mall. 280 metres from Mahkota Parade Mall and 900 metres to The Clock Tower. 600 Metres to A Famosa Portuguese Fort. 12. Once inside the garden is beautiful and peaceful my daughter did not want to leave the pool and go out to see Jonker and Heeren. 13. A very safe and secure accommodation for families with children. As the main gates are kept closed to the public, children can roam freely and safely in Casugria. 14. There are no steps or elevators everything is on the ground floor. 15. Staying in Casugria helps the Sean & Natasha conserve and preserve this Ancient Dutch Colonial Legacy for future generations to come.

wifi is a bit slow. In fact the whole area seems to have slow wifi so the residence may not be the one responsible.

Our host Sean and Natasha are wonderful. They prepared nice breakfast and snack for us to taste, and tried to show us the best hospitality you could ever imagine.

A small TV in the room would be nice

Super friendly and helpful hosts - Sean and Natasha, who would gladly recommend restaurants and other local delights to guests. Location is also near to many Peranakan restaurants.
