20 Best Themed Airbnbs In JB Within 35 Minutes Of The Malaysian Causeway

Best Airbnbs in JB


The pilgrimage to JB is a getaway trip that we Singaporeans are all too familiar with. Sometimes, all we need for some rest and relaxation is to leave Singapore soil and run into Malaysia’s loving embrace for guilt-free shopping and good eats.

That being said, day trips can get rather hectic, and the rush to the Causeway at the end of a day in JB may not always be worth the stress. Why not stay the night and turn that daycation into a staycation? Check out our round-up of the most worth-it Airbnbs in JB, all under $200 per night.
