ABOUT THE HOUSE

THE HOUSE.
House on Kalang is entirely yours for your stay;
No sharing the house with the owner!
Relaxing at House on Kalang is a must-
grab a coffee early in the morning, go sit under the pergola and watch the river the bird life and enjoy a sunshine start to the day.

early in the morning for you morning people or late in the evening for the night people and throughout the whole day for you people who fish all day long.
