What an amazing place!!! Very comfortable rooms, delicious food, and the staff was phenomenal. This is one of my most favorite places I’ve ever stayed.

Katie United States of America

Gert and Jason are fabulous hosts! We felt they took special care of us. We appreciated the transfer which gave us the opportunity to get to know our host and other guests in the car with us. The food was wonderful; Jason and his assistants are creative and serve a wide range of yummy meals. They are responsive to the dietary needs of guests, which is super. Great communication throughout. The room was spotlessly clean and airy with a huge window onto the forest. We loved the 7 foot long memory foam mattresses, which give you a wonderfully refreshing nights sleep. Awesome wildlife seen on our boat trips, including pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys and crocodiles. This was a second visit as we loved it so much 2 years ago. Thank you for an outstanding stay. This is a unique well delivered boutique style concept that is a joy to visit. Highly recommended for singles, couples and families. Each visit is special and different - see nature in all its splendour.

Trena United Arab Emirates

Everything. The location was amazing. Gert, Jason and all the staff were very knowledge and friendly which made us feel at home the entire stay. Food was incredible and you won't go hungry. If you want something special, I'd recommend booking it without a second thought. Easily one of best trip we've ever done.

Keanz United Kingdom

First of all Jayson’s welcome, niceness and very helpful comments made our trip fantastic. Our guide was really competent and cool. The view is wonderful, the food is excellent. Lastly, I was sick during the stay and Jayson took the utmost care and did everything he could to make my stay as good as possible, even offering drinks! This guy is gold!

Mathieu France

All staff at the property were superb, the location is amazing and the activities offered were also very good

James Australia

Perfect location for spotting wildlife, yummie food. Wonderful staff. Personal touch.

Geert Belgium

The complete package has a well designed formula from pickup at Sandakan to drop off. The personal attention and explanations by Gert. Boat safaris and hike with Rodell. Tasteful and beautiful prepared meals designed by Jason. The love of Gert for nature. The location!

Martin Netherlands

The guide for the boat and jungle trips, Rodel, was very good. The for was tasty and good quality.

Michelle United Kingdom

There are almost 600 steps up to this property so travelling light up the stairs is a must. There is a secure area at the bottom of the steps to leave excess luggage. It was definitely worth the climb because we loved the fact that we were at the top of the rainforest looking down on the Kinabatangan river. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms have recently been decorated so they were in immaculate condition. The food at the property was delicious. A mix of western and Malaysian food which was beautifully presented and delicious to eat. Gert, the host, was very friendly and extremely helpful with our onward plans. Overall, a fabulous stay.

Lorraine United Kingdom

Jason absolutely made our stay! Such a lovely guy, super friendly and helpful, we loved chatting with him about Borneo’s culture and environmental challenges. The cabins are beautiful and comfy, food was generous and delicious (especially the pancakes!) felt so immersed in the rainforest we actually saw a wild orangutan swinging above the resort one morning...wow! Wine is of good quality and well priced 👍🏼 and they sell all beer and soft drinks you will need, it is completed isolated though hence why all food is included so be prepared and make sure you take anything else you might need (inc a refillable water bottle) as the closest store is an hour drive away...Jason does offer to make a pit stop enroute for last minute essentials if need be though if you get picked up
