14. THE MAKINGS OF SYABASHOMES @LOST WORLD OF TAMBUN

The process of converting a two storey terrace house acquired late December last year into a decent and comfortable home worthy of carrying the label of Syabas homestay started exactly a week ago. A crew of 1Malaysia team was put to complete the task.

Situated at Taman Perpaduan Koperasi near Tambun Secondary School and a stone's throw from the Lost World of Tambun, Lost World Hot Spring and the Giant supermarket, this homestay will be able to house our many bookings from guests with specific intention of visiting the Lost World facilities and the many attractions in Tambun and nearby.

Though the conversion or makeover or facelift is still in process, bookings for February have begun to seep through...

Today is another busy day for the crew. Uncle Lee See Cheng, the painter is about to complete painting the interiors. after which he will embarked on painting the external which will take about three to four days depending on the weather.

While Ravi, the plumber cleans up the water tank before embarking on checking the sanitary fittings, Uncle Gopal, the electrician fixes the new lamps

Fixtures and furnitures have been ordered and due for delivery soon. We are still waiting for the curtainman and air-conditioning mechanic to drop by and commence work.

We reckoned in a week's time, all the exterior and interior painting work including electrical plus plumbing works should be completed. The premise should be ready to receive all the fixtures and furniture and other necessary fittings..

Syabas homes@Lost World of Tambun, a three bedrooms and three bathrooms double storey terrace house, is being prepared for our middle range guests reasonably priced at @ Rm 228 only per night for a comfortable occupancy of ten guests.

This place should be very ideal and convenient for visitors and tourists intending visits to Lost World Of Tambun, Lost World hot Spring, Teachers Traning Institute, Medical and Science College Ulu Kinta, Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta, Tambun Caves, the Tambun pomelo farms, the famous rolling hills of Tambun  and many other surrounding attractions.

To all our guests, we say WELCOME to Tambun, the hot spring and pomelo town and IPOH the tin city...

SYABAS HOMES...the colourful home...A home, away from homes...

13. TAMBUN...HERE WE COME

Tambun used to be a sleepy hollow town on the outskirt of Ipoh city. People passed by this little enclave to get to the famed Tanjung Rambutan Hospital or to search for the juicy and succulent Tambun pomeloes.

Streams of visitors started to flock the area ever since Sunway Group, the developer of Sunway Pyramid, took the initiative a few years back to transform the hot springs of Tambun into the now famed Lost World of Tambun and The Banjaran.

The Lost World of Tambun which was opened to the public in November 2004 is now an extremely popular destination among local tourists and The Banjaran is now a  worldly destination. The surge in tourists arrivals has increased the need for short rental accommodations. There are high end accommodations as provided by The Banjaran itself and Sunway Lost World Hotel. Due to requirements of the masses for medium cost accommodation facilities, homestays started to mushroom around Tambun and surrounding areas.

Of late, Syabas Homes Meru Hills, Chepor Indah and Silibin have been receiving bookings from guests intending to visit Lost World of Tambun which we gladly entertained. The journey from our facilities to Lost World  only takes 15-20 minutes.

Bookings from intending visitors to Lost World have surged since November 2012 to the point that we had to declined many requests with regret.

The management of Syabas Homes in acknowledging our growing customers base has decided to extend our accommodation services in Tambun itself closer to The Lost World destination.

Our new facility is now being prepared to receive our first guest, God willing, in February 2013.

So Tambun with all your attractions...here we come...adding another colour to your already colourful and charming environment.

12. A NICE WELCOME TO THE NEW YEAR...

The ideal way to promote our facilities is through the internet. Syabas Homes is quite fortunate to secure the services of www.Mudah.my, www.CariHomestay.net and www.ibilik.my to advertise our products throughout 2012 and continuing in 2013. 

Updating of our latest facilities have been done on constant basis for the benefit of our guests and potential guests.

The latest listing on the ibilik yesterday caught us by surprise. Syabashomes Meru Hills has shot up to be no.1 out of 204 short term rentals in Perak and no. 3 out of 3172 short term rentals in Malaysia. Syabas Homes Silibin too has moved up the ladder. As of today we are still there...

While we are excited at these rankings, we are fully aware that Syabas Homes Chepor Indah needs some repackaging to improve its ranking...

Nonetheless, to all our guests and potential guests, do drop by our place whenever you need a place to stay in Ipoh. Rest assured, we promise a quality service to make your stay...a very pleasant one.


Thank you all

11. SETAHUN BERLALU...

Tahun 2012 telah lebih setengah bulan meninggalkan kita dengan aneka kenangan. Tahun 2012 juga telah menemukan kita dengan ramai tetamu yang menginap di tiga lokasi Syabashomes yang kemudiannya menjadi kenalan. 

Para tetamu yang menginap di premis kita semuanya baik-baik belaka... datang berkunjung ke Ipoh atas pelbagai urusan seperti menghadiri majlis perkahwinan, berkursus, melancong, menemani anak-anak menerima sijil dan diploma di majlis konvokasi kolej dan ada yang menemani isteri melapor diri ke pejabat baru. Malah ada tetamu yang menjadikan lokasi Syabashomes untuk majlis perkahwinan.

Kita juga ada menerima banyak tempahan daripada tetamu-tetamu yang datang ke Ipoh untuk menyertai karnival sukan seperti badminton, tae kwon do dan ekspidisi berbasikal.

Atas apa jua urusan pihak Syabashomes menerima para tetamu dengan rasa syukur dan sentiasa mengalukan-alukan  kehadiran tetamu baru sambil menawarkan khidmat terbaik.

Kita juga amat berbangga kerana ada tetamu yang membersih dan mop lantai rumah, basuh kain cadar, sarung bantal dan comforter waima tong sampah pun...

Kita sungguh-sungguh bersyukur mendapat teguran-teguran dan saranan-saranan daripada para tetamu mengenai penambahbaikan kemudahan-kemudahan seperti penyediaan tuala mandi dan penambahan katil di Syabashomes Meru Hills. Alhamdulillah, tetamu kita pada bulan Januari 2013 telah menikmati kemudahan tambahan sebuah katil double di bilik utama Meru Hills.

Kita juga menerima saranan supaya ditingkatkan kemudahan ruang tetamu dan ruang santai di Syabashome Chepor Indah. Saranan yang baik tersebut juga telah dilaksanakan. 

Para tetamu Syabashomes Chepor Indah juga menerima kemudahan bekalan tuala mandi yang disediakan di setiap bilik tidur berkatil.

Akhir sekali ada saranan supaya padang bersebelahan di dalam kawasan rumah di Chepor Indah dijadikan ruang parkir tambahan dan ada tetamu yang mensarankan supaya dilanskapkan padang lebihan tersebut beserta children's playground. Kita sedia pertimbangkan dan akan laksanakan yang terbaik pada masa terdekat.

Syabas bajet homestay Silibin mencatat tempahan terbanyak sepanjang tahun 2012 walau pun premisnya hanya sebuah unit rumahpangsa dua bilik di tingkat 1. Pada kadar sewaan RM120 sehari semalam atau pada kadar RM15 untuk satu orang, kemudahan 8 katil dan kemudahan lain yang ditawarkan adalah sama selesa dengan kemudahan di Chepor Indah dan Meru Hills.

Semoga di tahun 2013 Syabas Homes terus mendapat sambutan... dan terus berkembang...In sya Allah
