It has sleek wooden flooring and stylish Balinese furnishings. Its open-air bathroom opens up to a small, tranquil garden. It even has its own pebbled driveway that comes with an automated gate.
This resort villa is not in popular Bali or Phuket, but right here in rural Kranji. It is one of 19 farmstay villas that is open at the new D'Kranji Farm Resort in Lim Chu Kang. Developed at a cost of $10 million, the 5ha lifestyle-cum-agriculture resort (about the size of six football fields) will also feature a wellness spa, seafood restaurant, beer garden, fruit plantation, herb garden and a coffee museum.Each air-conditioned 21 sq m villa (nearly the size of a one-room flat) comes with a double bed, bathroom and balcony. Modelled on the rooms of a five-star hotel, they also offer room service, housekeeping and wireless Internet connection.
Although admission to D'Kranji is free, the villas won't come cheap. LifeStyle understands that each room could cost at least $200 a night.
At D'Kranji, visitors can go on free educational tours to learn about the agriculture products at the farm, which will incorporate a herb garden with over 30 types of herbs such as basil, sage and lemon balm. Its 21 farming plots will offer crops such as dragon fruit, corn, guava and mango- steen for sale.
The resort will provide a free shuttle service every 45 minutes from Yew Tee MRT station, in addition to the existing hourly shuttle service from Kranji MRT station to Lim Chu Kang from 9am to 5pm, provided by Kranji Countryside Association. A round trip costs $2 for adults and $1 for children.
