  • It said on their Facebook it is open from 10am. Got there, gate was locked. Came back after a walk round kampung Morten and still closed. Sent a Facebook message, no reply. Disappointed.

  • The old gentleman was there when I visited, very friendly and gave me a tour around. Since it's a private own property, they decided to make it free to the public and maintain with donation I saw many of these kampung houses around Melaka but had never really been inside one, so I was very grateful that they provide this opportunity to let the others get to know their culture
  • Being guided through memories, rather than walls of a house. Lovely talks on current and past topics with the 85yo owner. Finding out that the world is really small.
