JB homestay for big groups: planning for 10-12 guests

Why a whole house suits a big group

One house keeps everyone together: one kitchen, one living area, one place to park. You split the nightly rate across the group, and nobody is booking six separate hotel rooms.

Both JB Staycations houses are private homes in Johor Bahru, not shared buildings.

Up to 10 guests: Landak Kawan Fun House

Landak Kawan Fun House in Taman Abad has 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 king bed and 4 queen beds (bedrooms 2 and 3 each have two queens), and the bathrooms have water heaters. It is RM 550 weekday, RM 750 weekend, RM 1,000 public holiday (about S$174 / S$237 / S$316) a night for the whole house, cleaning included, and the minimum stay is 1 night (2 over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).

For entertainment it has an 8ft pool table, a foosball table, 2 dart boards, a mahjong table, a 55-inch TV arcade and a children's playroom, plus a dedicated workstation. Wi-Fi is 100 Mbps.

Up to 12 guests: Prima

Prima, a landed house in Taman Nusantara Prima, Iskandar Puteri, takes up to 12 guests in 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms, including a ground-floor bedroom for elderly guests. It is RM 450 weekday, RM 650 weekend, RM 750 public holiday (about S$142 / S$205 / S$237) a night, cleaning included, and the minimum stay is 1 night (2 over Christmas Eve and Christmas Day).

Each of the 3 rooms has 1 queen bed and 2 single floor mattresses. It has a 7ft pool table, a mahjong table, a study desk and a covered balcony, plus a kitchen, 2 TVs with Netflix and parking for 2 cars inside and 6 outside, in about 2,500 sq ft.

Getting your group across

Many groups drive. The host estimates Prima is about 10 minutes from the Tuas Second Link and Landak about 12 minutes from the Causeway CIQ, excluding border queues. See our guide to getting to Johor Bahru for the Causeway, Second Link and RTS Link options.

Splitting the cost

Prices are per night for the whole house, cleaning included. On a weekday at full occupancy that is about S$11.84 per person at Prima (RM 450, 12 guests) and about S$17.37 at Landak (RM 550, 10 guests). Weekends and public holidays cost more; see prices. SGD estimate only; exchange rates vary. Based on RM1 = S$0.3158 (6 Nov 2026; checked 9 Nov 2026 SGT). The final total depends on your dates and group size.

Bigger than 12?

Neither house takes more than 12 guests on its own. Booking both houses means two separate homes in different parts of JB, up to 22 guests in total, not one venue. Ask us what works for your group.

Before you pay

Singapore guests pay by PayNow or PayLah to the host's mobile, and a receipt is issued. Malaysian guests pay in RM by bank transfer or TNG eWallet. Bank details are shared once your booking and dates are confirmed. You can also book through the Airbnb listing. Cleaning is included in the nightly price.

House rules at both houses: check-in 3pm, check-out 11am; quiet hours 11pm to 7am; RM 500 penalty for smoking or vaping indoors, or eating durian indoors; no BBQ; no pets; cleaning included.

A RM 1,000 refundable deposit applies to every booking and is refunded within 48 hours after checkout. There is no cancellation, but you can change your dates once. Gatherings need the host's approval. Visitors are allowed; quiet hours are 11pm to 7am.
