Location

Costa Villa is 6.4 km from Magazine Circus meaning it is slightly outside the boundary of George Town. It may appeal to people who wants to stay on the northern part of Penang Island while not having to travel too far to go to work in the city. But if you're working in the south side, like Bayan Lepas, you may want to consider somewhere further south, to by pass all the traffic when you cross the city.

Public Transport

Rapid Penang Bus 104 pass through Jalan Gajah.

Amenities

The nearest school is Sekolah Kebangsaan Tanjung Tokong. The nearest market is the Pulau Tikus Market. The nearest petrol stations is the Petronas in Tanjung Tokong and the Caltex in Tanjong Tokong. The nearest hospital is the Penang Adventist Hospital.

Traffic

Traffic along the main road, Jalan Tanjong Tokong, is heavy. There are several traffic lights along the route that force motorists to swerve dangerously to the left, a horrible showcase of poor road planning.
