CYCLAMEN Cottage

Welcome

Welcome to Cyclamen Cottage, a homestay with a historical past and modern amenities. Built in 1937, this colonial architectural style building has undergone meticulous restoration and conservation to reflect its original charm. Cyclamen Cottage was formerly home to the British Officials and later to the Peranakans or Straits-born (referring to the settlements of adventurous traders from China who married the local Malay ladies). The Peranakan male is called "Baba", the female "Nyonya".

A unique haven in Malacca city, Cyclamen Cottage is just 5 minutes drive from famous historical sites like the Stadhuys. With a sprawling lawn, it houses 11 rooms beautifully furnished with antique Colonial and Peranakan teakwood furniture.

The Malacca Heirloom includes silver ornaments like kerongsong (broaches), hairpins, earrings and pendants. This private collection showcases the Straits Chinese culture and its fascinating arts and crafts.
