Stayed for only one night from 12 - 13 April (should have stayed longer, but my itenary was too packed). Booked room 3A and 3B for my family of 2 adults and 3 young children. Nice and private place. Great views. Room 3A and 3B had interconnecting doors making it great for family. We also had a side private outdoor... More

We get to stay at House 5, and it is facing a great view. The bathroom is transparent which means you can bath together with the natural view. The entrance is steep and scary, please make sure you get a good driver to drive you there. =) Maybe I'm unlucky, we experienced 2 times blackout at night and early morning... More

We stayed in rooms 3 A and B and it was just lovely! Nice view, spacious bathroom, open kitchen area, and comfortable beds. The rooms were tastefully decorated and very clean. Great to have a TV and DVD player with a nice selection of DVDs to keep us entertained. Wasn't able to get the wifi to work, but it was... More

This is the perfect place to stay if you're planning to visit kinabalu park, which is 10minutes by foot, or if you want a quiet getaway. The place deserves a visit on its own, and the view is amazing. I think i had the best sleep in this place during my entire stay. Amenities such as hot shower, tv and... More
