Kampong Morten

Traditional wooden houses

What we say:

Located along the west bank of the Melaka River, Kampong Morten is a collection of traditional Malay wooden houses.

Many were built in the 1920s, but have been beautifully restored if a bit tackily decorated (picture roofs tiled to resemble the Malaysia flag). You can get a glimpse from the Melaka River Cruise, or walk over for a closer look and a chat with the friendly residents.

One house known as Villa Sentosa has been turned into a living museum with cultural relics like Malay wedding chairs and costumes.

Admission is technically free, but you will be asked to make a donation.

Villa Sentosa is open daily 9:00-17:00, or whenever the owner is around, T: (06) 282 3988.

Rating (out of 10):

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
