A 2,000 sq ft penthouse on the top floor with four ensuite bedrooms that sleep up to 13. Every room has its own bathroom and air conditioner, combining hotel-style privacy with generous shared space.
The Space
The Honeybee Penthouse occupies a top-floor condominium unit with skyline views across Melaka city. At 2,000 square feet, it offers four bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom and air conditioner, making the layout especially practical for larger groups.
Four queen beds plus extra single and double mattresses sleep up to 13, so large families can stay together. The living room is generously sized with ceiling fans rather than air conditioning, and the open layout provides useful shared space.
What’s Inside
- Four bedrooms, all ensuite, all air conditioned
- Four queen beds with comforters, plus three single mattresses and one double mattress, sleeping up to 13
- Five bathrooms with hot showers and strong water pressure
- 100 Mbps fibre WiFi
- Sony 46 inch LED TV with Android TV and Chromecast
- Astro NJOI (28 TV channels and 20 radio channels)
- Refrigerator, microwave, water purifier and kettle
- Iron and ironing board, hair dryers in every room

There is no stove and no washing machine, though a launderette is a short walk away in Melaka Raya. The kitchen suits reheating and light prep rather than full cooking.
The Building
Facilities include a resort style swimming pool for adults and children, a children’s playground, 24 hour security, and three gated parking bays with additional visitor parking. Access cards cover both the lift and the car park. Lift access to the top floor is useful for older travellers and young children.
Getting Around
Portuguese Settlement is within walking distance, best visited in the evening for seafood at the waterfront restaurants. Melaka Raya, a few minutes on foot, covers everyday needs with a 99 Speedmart, laundry and a wide choice of food. ElementX Mall, formerly Elements Mall, is also close by. Jonker Walk and A Famosa are 4 to 8 minutes by car or Grab, and 10 to 18 minutes by local bus.
Good to Know
The host meets guests at the guardhouse on arrival to hand over access cards and show them the unit. The building exterior is older, but the renovated interior is well kept and clean. There is a club in the area; light sleepers will be more comfortable in rooms furthest from the entrance.
