The end of the pool seems to drop into the jungle beyond. This is the view you first see on arrival at Tiger Rock & it is the picture that is left in your head as you leave. |

Just perfect! A great relaxing retreat; beautiful virgin jungle; wonderful poolside dining; butler service; unconventional boutique style. • Sign Guest Book • View Guest Book
| All too rarely we have come across a real inspiration. We have seen a white breasted sea eagle (?) flying home carrying a sea snake in its grasp as well as found a scorpion hiding under some wood – a place where we can experience unexpectedly pleasures. | | ~ Omar (Jan 1999) |

Tiger Rock - an island and jungle hideaway, is the stunning rustic island retreat of Rebecca and David Wilkinson, and their 3 children. Set in 12 acres of jungle and backing onto 200 acres of forest reserve the 2 houses are cocooned on slopes overlooking the sea and mainland. David designed the houses based on the traditional Malay wooden house and a colonial hill station house. Rebecca added all the creature comforts one could need and has surprised with unexpected color. Her paintings and artwork are found throughout the property.
Hill House has 4 guest wings with a central open sitting & dining area, & kitchen. The Main House is rented out as a whole. The Studio is set back, privately secluded from the Main House. The Pool House Chalet is a new room addition. The gorgeous Pool House overlooking the jungle is the central meeting place of Tiger Rock. Tiger Rock is truly a spectacular jungle hideaway!

 It's been a busy time for us. This year is flying by. Tiger Rock looks more and more beautiful as time goes on. Mohan and team have managed to keep the flowers blooming constantly and we have a great range of butterflies now. The vegetation around the pool continues to improve and grow and trimming is a constant job. The tennis court has settled in fantastically and we all enjoy that. Teenagers seem to like starting games at about midnight which keeps them sleeping in the next morning. The festival on the island last march was wonderful and David, Tessa and I were blessed in the temple. A lovely occasion for all. Bookings are starting to get busy for the summer months and we look forward to having guests with us. We have also been busy in George Town with China Tiger opening, at last, in July. We are loving living in the heart of George Town and invite you to stay at China Tiger. In Indonesia our lovely boat, Tiger Blue, keeps busy with trips to Komodo and also, when in Bali, she takes guests out for sunset drinks and nibbles. This has proved popular and lots of guests have enjoyed private celebrations on board. She is featured in this months Boating International Magazine. Have a look at our picture gallery for the Festival shots and read about it in the information section. |

China Tiger opening soon!
China Tiger, George Town, Penang will be open in July. Only 2 suites within a restored merchants house in the heart of George Town- Unesco World Heritage Site, Penang, Malaysia. Located on China Street, it is the home of Rebecca and David Wilkinson and we are essentially, your hosts. The house was purchased in late 2006 in a sad state of total disrepair. Dating back to the mid 1800's and built by a Chinese Merchant, it had fallen in on itself and had been set on fire. It was full of rubble, and vegetation had taken over the whole site. Despite this it had a huge amount of charm and we immediately fell in love with the spaces it offered- 2 large inner courtyards, entrances at front and rear, and 10,000 sq feet of living space. China Tiger is surrounded by wonderful architecture, spices and absolutely fabulous food! It will be our pleasure to show you the best of what Georgetown has to offer- the colourful cultures, the festivals, street markets, food, wonderful traditional trades and some of the most interesting people in the world. All you have to do is step out of our front door! China Tiger provides a very special oasis in the middle of the very exciting heritage area of George Town.
