Not too long or too short drive. Landscape amazing. Soothing and calming ambiance. Great hospitality. Superb feedback. Wifi strength very good.

Aida Malaysia

-The glamping tent was neat and decorated nices and comes equipped with fans.. -The shared toilets are surprisingly beautifully decorated with plants and most importantly, clean -Near to the river stream where we can enjoy the sounds of nature.

Peh Malaysia

We had a wonderful night with a campfire sitting in a small group with marshmallows and listening to acoustic. Living in a comfortable tent and hearing the sound of nature is just a perfect combo. The greenery is beautiful. I love the garden jungle, you can walk around, hang out and enjoy the scenery.

Azuan Malaysia

Relax-inducing landscape, with beautiful sound of nature at night and in the morning. Cool, fresh air. Despite the open area, the place felt private, so you can have nice interactions with other guests as well as be with your own group. We did self-barbecue with the resort’s bbq set, which was really convenient and adequate. Breakfast had sufficient amount of variety. Truly enjoyed the stay and our kids especially had a good time exploring around!

Nurulatiqah Canada

Just next to the river where you can mandi manda there. They got 10 toilet-but shower not really kuat. Spacious and clean toilet. Breakfast-nasi lemak, kuih, cereal, boiled eggs, etc. And its all yummy. Not far from pekan janda baik.

Nurul Malaysia

Enviroment of the surrounding can rest my mind. I get my own motivasion there n throw away negative aura. The staff very helpful.

location is excellence. we love that we get to enjoy the river without the crowd. the check in and check out process was fuss free. we booked chalet but they immediately texted me when Booking.com messed up with my booking and everything was rectified smoothly

Siti Malaysia

we love the bed, comforter and pillow..very comfortable similar to hotel although it is in the tent. Our tent is huge with 5 single beds, clean and tidy. Breakfast although very limited choices (2 main, 2 kuih and 2 cereals), but the Nasi lemak was good. sedap! we love the fact that, the sharing toilets are very clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful, the environment is very nice, peaceful, relaxing and private. We rented the bbq pit, it was brand new. Will definitely come back.

Hashim & Kuyah
We have this great place, 600 metres above sea level, along the famous Titiwangsa Mountain Range of Malaysia. Our place is always cool and fresh. It is set right in the middle of the tropical jungle. We never cease to marvel at the rich flora and fauna while enjoying the natural sound and the refreshing scent of the jungle in the beautiful landscape of the place. This is where we take frequent refuge from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is indeed a place where one can live in a virtual world created only by the richness of one's own imagination. We built our vacation home here which we name "Sailor's Rest". Throughout the years, we have added few more facilities and turn it from a Homestay into "Sailor's Rest Resort". Currently what we have at Sailor's Rest are a three-bedroom main house with a one-room annex, a houseboat, two Kampung Chalets, two Modern Chalets, a dining hall, conference hall, three fish ponds, a river, an orchard and a beautifully manicured garden. The whole place is designed to provide complete relaxation.
Founded by Hashim, a former Navy officer who used to command ships and travel around the world, Sailor's Rest is inspired by his passion in bringing the experience of a serene kampung life to the city crowd. We love to have guests with us to share the tranquility and the serenity of the place. I am sure you too will enjoy Sailor's Rest just as much as we do. For your next vacation, do come and stay with us. It will be a total breakaway vacation for you. We look forward to having you on board. At Sailor's Rest you can be assured of fair winds and following seas always. As this is a family run resort, you will definitely feel at home... Welcome to Sailor's Rest Resort!
There are plenty of things to do both within Sailor's Rest compound and around Janda Baik. Our site itself is situated right next to a shallow and clean flowing river, where everyone can enjoy a nice splash in the warm weather. We also have two small lakes where guests can enjoy fishing or a nice family picnic. For the more adventures, activities such as hiking, cycling, ATV, and night walking are on offer. Most of our guests love driving around Janda Baik to experience the peaceful kampung life and visit the many different coffee shops and restaurants dotted along the roads or search for more hidden gems.
