The house is top notch, the location is excellent, and above everything else, the owner is a gem. Of all the trips I have taken, I never had a host as good as Nathan. He made our stay extremely pleasant, going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time.

Very beautiful location. Everything is in very good shape. There is a lot of stuff to do in the resort even with bad weather pool, ping pong, some table games. And for outdoor some hiking, snorkeling , swimming. The food was excellent (the best we had in our trip to Malaysia) There is a lot of fauna too which was very magical. Monitor lizards, hornbills, monkeys and more. But the best of all is the staff. Everyone was incredibly gentle and always ready to make the guest feel taken care of.

The location is a bit far from the city, but we booked it because it is close to the beach, where you can see beautiful sunsets. The staff are kind and nice. Don't forget to go to the restaurant downstairs. We tried their ginger pork with rice. The pork was awesome! The place is clean and tidy, with water dispenser in the shared kitchen. They clean the communal areas every single day.

It’s an amazing hotel. The service is excellent, way above average in Malaysia. The breakfast is amazing. Nice pool, and perfect location. But the best is the rooftop bar to watch the sunset. Leves everything! It is an old building but everything is beautiful and clean.

Although it was a bit further out from Kuching city the peaceful surrounding and essentially private beach was great. As long as you have a car there’s no issues getting around this area of Borneo. It’s a great concept as well!
