All units come with a balcony with sea views, a fully equipped kitchenette with a toaster and a fridge, and a private bathroom with shower. Every unit comes with air conditioning, and some units at the chalet complex have a terrace. At the chalet complex, every unit has bed linen and towels. This was a one bedroom lodge with its own deck overlooking the jungle and beach. It was rustic but v well appointed - we loved the geckos in the roof, and watching fireflies at night. Hibiscus beach is beautiful and a 10 min walk away is a fantastic cafe where you can eat in the beach and watch the sun set.

Set in Tiga Papan and only a few steps from Kalampunian Beach, Chalet Ombak Rindu Kudat offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The air-conditioned holiday home is composed of 1 separate bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and kitchenware, and 2 bathrooms. This holiday home also has a balcony that doubles up as an outdoor dining area. The accommodation is non-smoking. The location of the homestay is the best attraction. The beach is really right infront of the homestay and we can see the beach from the veranda of the homestay. In the morning, we practically have the beach to ourselves. During the night, we experienced a few blackouts. I think this is not the owner's fault. However, the owner provided us with portable solar lamp for our use in the house, which helped a lot. We really enjoyed our stay at this homestay and hoped we can come back another time.

Located in Mantanani Island, GreenHouse Lodge provides accommodation with access to a garden. The property boasts reusable plastic materials, using energy-saving lighting and conserving rainwater.

Some units feature a terrace and / or a patio with sea or garden views. The best stay I’ve had in years! 🏝️This is truly a relaxing Island experience and an opportunity for you to unwind in a secluded location. Thank you Sook Peng and Fred for helping my stay feels like home! They have arranged the transfer quite seamlessly, I got picked up from the hotel early morning to the pier and then to the island. The view is truly amazing as the lodge is right in front of the sea. They have everything you need for this Island: kayaks, snorkel masks, beach mats and coconuts (and beer which is a rare commodity in the island)! Thank you Sook Peng for the wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner. It’s wonderful to enjoy a hearty home-cooked meal by the sea. I also get to taste some delicious farm-to-table vegetables they’ve grown from their aquaponics farm ♥️ I’ve enjoyed my time on the island, there’s a dive centre 5-min walk from the lodge and it’s convenient if you’d like to join a dive or two. My room is right in front of the sea with a little garden, sun lounge area and a private entrance to the beach. You’re surrounded by nature and animals, I’ve seen cats, cows, tree frogs, big green turtles and more. Just be prepared for mosquitos at night, you can spray the room before you leave for dinner, I’ve also bought a “Deep Woods” repellent and some repellent wristbands which comes in quite handy. There’s no aircon in the room but the island breeze does help, the room is well-ventilated and there’s a fan and cooling machine in the room. Truly an amazing getaway, I must come back again!

Accessible only via a 600-step staircase, the property is located adjacent to the Kinabatangan Forest Reserve. Guests will have access to some of Sabah's most unique wildlife. Boat cruises and jungle-trekking activities are included in every stay. I had high expectations of the Last Frontier, and somehow it exceeded them. We were looked after from start to finish by the very impressive Jason - we learned so much from him about the area, and Malaysia in general, and he was extremely thoughtful about everybody's needs. We went on three boat rides and a hike. Ryan, our guide, was very knowledgeable and could identify animals from just a quick glance (he's quiet at first but if you ask him questions you'll learn a lot). We felt completely safe with him and spotted four of the "Borneo Big 5", despite the rainy season, as well as many other animals. The morning cruise costs a bit extra (95 MYR per person at the time of writing) but was totally worth it for another chance to see the animals - on ours we saw orangutans and rhinoceros hornbills, although of course nothing is guaranteed. The lodge itself is very comfortable with big beds and hot showers - the only thing missing is mosquito nets (there are screens on the windows but a few still get in). If you're worried about other creepy crawlies entering the room, we didn't see any. The restaurant on the other hand is open at the sides so when the lights come on in the evening it's full of life - you'll see moths and bats flying through (but don't worry, they're not interested in you). The food was delicious - while breakfasts were western style, we were served classic Malaysian dishes for dinner. Meals are set - there is no menu to choose from - but they were extremely thoughtful about dietary needs, so let them know in advance (vegans and people with allergies are well catered for here). And while there is no wifi, we had data connection with both Celcom and Maxis at least some of the time. This is a special place where you'll get a more intimate experience of nature than at the bigger lodges. We loved our stay and whole-heartedly recommend it.
