Astronaut Space House in Sitiawan! 8-Pax Homestay You WON'T Believe!
Astronaut Space House: Sitiawan's Cosmic Comfort (Or, My Unexpectedly Awesome Stay!)
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to launch you into a review of Astronaut Space House in Sitiawan. This place… well, let's just say it wasn't exactly what I expected, and that's a good thing. After a long search, I saw an ad of it, what would it be like? My heart raced with a mix of excitement and dread. Because you know, homestays can be a gamble. But the promise of an 8-person space-themed haven? I was intrigued. And ready to have a hilariously bad experience. But the end would be different.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Landing the Plane (Mostly Smoothly)
Finding the Astronaut Space House was pretty easy. It's located in a quiet, residential area, a solid win for tranquility. Now, I didn't specifically check for wheelchair accessibility (bad reviewer, I know!), but from what I saw, maneuvering around the common areas might be a bit tricky. There's an elevator, so at least you'll reach the rooms!
Cleanliness, Safety, and COVID-19 Protocols: The Space-Age Sterile?
Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room: COVID. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, (aren't we all, now?) so this was crucial. The Space House really makes an effort. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Check. Staff wearing masks? Check. Daily disinfection of common areas? Double-check. Honestly, I felt safer there than I do at my local supermarket. They also use anti-viral cleaning products, which is a big plus! They even offered room sanitization opt-out… which I thought was a thoughtful touch, showing they're not just going through the motions. They provided individually-wrapped food options (more on that later), and physical distancing felt easy to achieve within the space.
The Room: My Personal Capsule (With a Few Minor Asteroid Bumps)
My room? It was… fun. Think, a futuristic capsule, but not in a sterile, cold way. The "space" theme was definitely present, but it was done with charm, not cheesy plastic. The blackout curtains? Amazing. Seriously, I slept like a baby (or a cosmonaut after a long mission). The air conditioning was spot-on, crucial in Malaysia's muggy weather. The bed was comfy, with extra-long bed which is more than welcomed.
Minor grumbles:
- The water pressure in the shower could have been better.
- I had some issue to work on my laptop.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling for Galactic Adventures
The breakfast situation was a bit… of a mixed bag. They offered both Western and Asian options (Asian breakfast was a lot more recommended), as well as a buffet, which included options like coffee/tea in restaurant. I’d definitely recommend the Asian breakfast, the other was just… there. A very delicious and satisfying experience. They had a coffee shop, but it was only available at a certain time. There were also snacks available. Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Beyond the Stars (and the Sauna)
Okay, here's where the Space House truly shines. I wasn't expecting this. Although, I don't see any fitness center or SPA, sauna or steamroom, it was a bit disappointing.
Services and Conveniences: Because Life in Space Needs Essentials
This homestay did a lot of things right by providing good service. I didn't check. They had a restaurant, where they had a la carte menu, they also have room service (24-hour), which is a blessing in disguise. There's also a convenience store. There’s a laundry service and daily housekeeping, which is essential.
For the Kids: Little Astronauts Welcome!
The Space House is super family-friendly. Although I didn’t take a kid with me, but I saw other little kids running around, which just indicated that this homestay is kid-friendly.
Getting Around: Navigating Sitiawan (and Beyond)
Free car park? Score! They even had car charging station (which is a bonus!). They also provided taxi service and airport transfer.
The Whole Vibe: Would I Go Back?
Look, Astronaut Space House isn't perfect. But it's got something special. A weird charm, a genuine effort to make you feel comfortable, and a whole lot of fun. It's the kind of place that feels less like a hotel, and more like you're crashing at a cool friend's place… who happens to have a fully-equipped space capsule for you to sleep in.
My Final Verdict: Totally worth it.

Manila's Hidden Gem: RedDoorz @ Riches Holiday Hotel Avenida!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're about to blast off…to Sitiawan, Malaysia! Specifically, to My Homestay Sitiawan Astronaut Space House. Eight of us. Eight souls, ready to embrace the glorious chaos of travel and, hopefully, not kill each other in the process. This isn't a brochure, folks. This is the real deal.
PRE-FLIGHT CHECKLIST (AKA Pre-Trip Panic):
- The Usual Suspects: Passports? Check. Medications? Check (mostly anti-nausea – me, I'm a nervous flyer). Enough underwear? Double-check.
- The "What-Ifs": Okay, so I panic-bought a universal travel adapter, even though Malaysia uses the same plugs as the UK. Better safe than sorry, right? Or is that just…me projecting?
- The Group Chat Meltdown: “Guys, what’s the dress code for a space house? Is there a space helmet requirement?!?” (Silence…followed by a meme of a cat in a spacesuit. Love this crew.)
DAY 1: TOUCHDOWN SITIAWAN & SPACE-AGE AWESOMENESS (Or, The Day We Almost Got Lost in the Jungle)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Wake-up call! Except my internal alarm clock is more of a gentle nudge… and I'm already wide awake. The sheer excitement, you know? We're off! A chaotic taxi ride from the airport, lots of excited chatter.
- Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Finally, We Arrived! My Homestay Sitiawan Astronaut Space House. HOLY. MOLY. Pictures DON'T do it justice. It's…well, it’s a space house! Think sleek, futuristic lines, walls plastered with space-themed murals, and actual star projectors in the bedrooms. Absolutely a total trip to get into that kind of design.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch! We ordered mee goreng (Malaysian fried noodles) from a local stall. Spice level? Let’s just say my nose took a trip to the moon. Delicious, though. Completely worth the fire in my mouth.
- Afternoon (3:00 PM): The Adventure Begins! We decided to head out for a bit of jungle trekking near the beach. "Easy trail," they said. Famous last words. We got slightly… well, very lost. The humidity was brutal, the mosquitoes were ravenous, and after an hour of wandering, the only wildlife we encountered were our own increasingly panicked faces. We emerged (eventually!) covered in sweat and shame, and vowed to stick to the tourist-friendly beaches from then on.
- Evening (7:00 PM): SPACE HOUSE PARTY! We utilized the space house's entertainment system to the fullest. Space-themed movie marathon, pizza, and karaoke (my rendition of "Rocket Man" was truly a sight to behold - or maybe a disaster, depending on who you ask).
- Late Night (11:00 PM): Bedtime. Exhausted but euphoric. The star projector in my room is mesmerizing. This is what a perfect day is made of.
DAY 2: BEACH BLISS & SEAFOOD FEAST (AKA, The Day I Ate So Much I Thought I'd Explode)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Beach time! Teluk Batik beach. Gorgeous soft sand, palm trees swaying, and the water… turquoise perfection. We swam, we sunbathed, and I managed to almost perfect my backflip.
- Mid-Morning (11:00 AM): Oops, forgot the sunscreen. I may or may not look like a lobster now.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): Seafood Nirvana! We went to a local seafood restaurant. Oh. My. Goodness. Piles of fresh grilled fish, juicy prawns, and the most incredible chili crab I've ever tasted in my life. I mean, I almost choked on my own gluttony. Worth it. Every. Single. Bite.
- Afternoon (4:00 PM): Napping. Post-seafood coma. I'm pretty sure I'm still digesting.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Back at the Space House. More space-themed movies. More star projector gazing. More sheer, unadulterated joy. My belly still felt like a small-scale volcanic eruption from the seafood I ate earlier.
DAY 3: CULTURAL EXPLORATION & FAREWELL FEAST (AKA, The Day I Learned I Have Zero Sense of Direction & Cried Over Food)
- Morning (9:00 AM): Attempted a visit to a local temple. Key word: attempted. We decided to be adventurous and find it ourselves. This led to a delightful tour of Sitiawan's backstreets, involving several wrong turns, a close encounter with a very assertive rooster, and a near breakdown in a 7-Eleven over the best type of snacks to buy. When we finally made it to the temple, it was breathtaking, worth all the walking just to see that beauty.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): It was time for our final meal in Sitiawan: a huge, farewell feast at the Space House. Everyone chipped in. We ordered more local dishes, packed a large amount of spicy noodles, and cried a bit. Not because of the food (okay, maybe a little, they were good), but because this incredible adventure was coming to an end.
- Evening (7:00 PM): Packing. The dreaded task. I am the world's worst packer. I'm pretty sure I'm taking half the Space House home with me.
- Late Night (11:00 PM): One last stargazing session in the living room before we leave. This trip has been more than just travel; it's been an emotional, messy, and ultimately life-affirming adventure.
DAY 4: ADIOS, SITIAWAN! (AKA, The Day I Regretted Not Buying More Chili Crab)
- Morning (8:00 AM): Saying goodbye to the Space House. Saying goodbye to the space house was hard, it felt like leaving a space family. Taxi ride back to the airport. Bitterly regretting not buying extra chili crab.
- Afternoon (1:00 PM): The flight! This time there were minimum nerves and more reflecting on the amazing time we have. I really need to experience a trip, that's the feeling that makes everything worth it.
POSTSCRIPT:
Sitiawan, you were a beautiful, spicy, chaotic dream. The Astronaut Space House? A truly unique experience. The people? Amazing. The food? I'll be dreaming of that chili crab for weeks. This wasn't just a trip; it was a reminder to embrace the mess, laugh at the mistakes, and savor every single moment. And hey, maybe next time I'll learn to navigate a jungle without getting hopelessly lost. Or not. Either way, bring on the next adventure!
