“My time at The Leaf @ Janda Baik was truly transformative.
Just a 45-minute drive from Kuala Lumpur, it's a hidden gem for anyone seeking a true escape from the city. The moment you step onto the property, the lush greenery and sounds of nature envelop you, instantly washing away stress and worries. I found the peaceful atmosphere ideal for deep reflection, creative brainstorming, and team bonding.
We've hosted multiple management retreats at The Leaf @ Janda Baik, and each time we've been blown away by the unique and memorable experience. The owner's dedication to ensuring a truly special retreat is evident in every detail, from the comfortable accommodations to the thoughtfully curated activities. Their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile truly make each visit a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

“I joined my forum for an EO retreat at the Leaf. It is a once in a lifetime location for a retreat. The most idyllic, tranquil peaceful place on earth - perfect to slow down and reflect. It is unmatched in terms of nature beauty and architectural design, yet so very homely. George Gan is an inspirational host. If you have the opportunity for him to join you on retreat, don’t pass it up. I could not recommend The Leaf more highly!”

“The Leaf is an exceptional spot to relax and bond, whether with your family or your team.
Nestled in the heart of nature and surrounded by lush green trees, The Leaf offers a tranquil escape from the city.
The breathtaking sunrise that greets you each morning, along with the natural daylight that floods the space, creates an invigorating and peaceful atmosphere.
I've had the pleasure of visiting The Leaf multiple times with both my team and family, and each time, we've left with unforgettable memories.
The fact that it's just a 45-minute drive from KL is a huge plus. The friendly staff and the option of an on-demand chef add a touch of luxury and comfort, making every stay truly special.”

“Thank you for providing the perfect retreat location. My stay at The Leaf was exceptional.
The open living area and porch created a warm space for our group to connect and reflect while enjoying the stunning scenery. In all, I am very thankful how our host had made our stay extra special. Thank you and I look forward to having the opportunity to visit again.”

“The Leaf is a beautiful property surrounded by lush forest with native monkeys and amazing birds located in the hills about an hour outside Kuala Lumpur.
The home itself is a luxury architectural marvel and is super comfortable and we all felt instantly at home there.
Our forum has nine members and we were able to sleep in comfort with only a few of us having to share a room.
There are breakout areas, a formal learning area, an amazing balcony with lounge.
We had a mix of a private chef and dining out at local eateries plus made a visit to the famous Durian Plantation.
George Gan is a humble but inspirational leader who makes you feel very comfortable his home. I’d thoroughly recommend this as a retreat location for any forum retreat who is wanting some deep connection and tranquility away from the bright shiny lights.”

“The Leaf is the best place to hold intimate business and family retreats comfortably around 15-18 pax in Tanarimba!
We love to hold our retreats there due to the cleanliness and effective design of the space that cannot be found around other Tanarimba developments.
- The meeting room are well fitted with a nice TV and open space overlooking Tanarimba forest for deep reflection and contemplation.
- The dining room overlooks the balcony with a beautiful scenery of Tanarimba
- The tv lounge area also is a very comfortable place to relax and unwind.
Rooms are also very comfortable, clean, and well equipped! Especially the annex building which is surrounded by nature.”
