Testimonials
One of the best experiences of our lives
We were excited to go on an adventure like this with our 2 years old daughter, but when we arrived Ilse and Wee Hon welcomed us so nicely, that all of our concerns fade away. They are very kind people, and gave us a lot useful advices what to do around. We loved their house: tidy, comfortable, and the small garden is charming. The cats were cute as well, a little bit shy at the beginning, but became friendlier day by day. Our daugter, Rosie was especially close to Roselle, the youngest cat, but all of them were special. We loved to spend 6 weeks there, and I hope we will meet again in the future!

So much more than just a housesit!
The housesit for Wee Hon and Ilse was so much more than just a housesit! You will feel this right away. Wee Hon and Ilse are very welcoming, hospitable people. Before they left to Europe, they welcomed us on arrival with big smiles and home made soup. Plus, they spent one full day to let us get acquinted with the house, the cats and the area. We appreciated this warm start very much! The house is located in a green, quiet, residential area. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Access to public transport into KL is within walking distance. Though the house is light and large, you probably will spend most of your time outside on their terrace adjacent to the garden. The cats are simply adorable! They have very different characters, but all 3 are easygoing, friendly cats. As long as you approach them in a relaxed and gentle way, they will hang around you, "asking" for their daily portion of TLC. During the housesit we kept in touch via whatsapp. Besides whatsapp, the internet connection is stable and reliable, which makes remote working possible. After Wee Hon and Ilse returned home, they generously offered us their house as a base while travelling around the region. This shows you how generous and hospitable they are! We cherish the time spent together with these lovely people and bring back home lot's of great memories!

Lovely pets, home and owners
We were so grateful that Wee Hon and Ilse took a chance with us! It was their first experience at offering a house sit and they said yes to us - a family with 2 young kids! They were so relaxed that they let us stay with them the night before they left and also for a night after their return. Not only that but they cooked a meal for us on both nights! Their 3 cats were easy and Roselle is especially friendly. We enjoyed listening to the frogs at night! We highly recommend Wee Hon and Ilse as great people to sit for. Their house would suit anyone who likes to try eco friendly approaches - they recycle everything they can, which is so refreshing compared to other experiences we have had with rubbish in this part of the world.
