Where Art Meets the Forest
150+ sculptures along forest trails. A 3-storey gallery of ink paintings, antique furniture & cultural artifacts. The only farmstay like this in Malaysia.
THE TRAIL
150+ Sculptures Along Every Path
No farmstay in Malaysia has anything like this. Over 150 large sculptures — from human-sized to elephant-sized — placed along every road, path, and forest hiking trail.
Everywhere You Look
Sculptures greet you from the moment you drive in and line every trail through the forest.
A World of Cultures
Buddhist, Confucian, Christian, Thai, and Chinese historical figures spanning centuries of tradition.
Self-Guided Discovery
Walk at your own pace — morning, afternoon, or evening. Every visit reveals something new.
THE GALLERY
3 Storeys of Art & Culture
The AG Building is a gallery in disguise — art covers every floor, from the ground-floor cinema to the rooftop event space. Even the KTV rooms are surrounded by paintings and antiques.
Ground Floor
Art Gallery & Cinema
Ancient Chinese furniture, ink paintings, statues, and cultural artifacts. A cinema space nested among the art.
1st Floor
Gallery & KTV Room
More paintings and antique furniture, plus a 60-pax KTV and meeting room — art on every wall.
2nd Floor
Prayer Room & Gallery
Traditional Chinese prayer room and altar, art gallery, and a 20-pax KTV — cultural immersion at every turn.
Rooftop
Event Space with Views
A 60+ pax KTV and event space with panoramic views of the surrounding forest and hills.

LIVE ART
Watch Art Come to Life
A Chinese tradition — the goal is to pass down this ancient art to the next generation. Two daily sessions of traditional ink painting and calligraphy demonstration.
An alternative for those not joining the hiking tour. Watch the artist at work, ask questions, and experience centuries of Chinese artistic tradition.
THE STORY
From Gallery to Forest
The farmstay owners also run Draften Art Centre (蔡文清藝術館 / Maestro Fine Art Sdn Bhd) in Kepong, Kuala Lumpur — one of Malaysia’s established Chinese art galleries.
The “Art” in “Forest Art Farmstay” is literal. Every sculpture on the trail, every painting in the gallery building, and every artwork hanging in your chalet comes from decades of collecting and curating.
Original artwork hangs in every chalet — each room is a small gallery of its own. You’ll sleep surrounded by art most people only see behind museum glass.
