Everything that has been said by the previous reviewers is completely accurate. This place is simply amazing. Gert and Jason, who run the place, have done an outstanding job of creating a highly enjoyable experience in the middle of the jungle. As many others have noted, the dining is incredible! No menu here - just have the amazing food that... More

Well, what can I say that hasnt already been said...I am in total agreement with previous reviewers and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. In my opinion, it is an absolute must for anyone thinking of visiting this area of Borneo. My sister and I were lucky enough to stay here as part of a 2 week holiday to... More

This resort is on a ridge overlooking the Kinabatangan river. It is a package that includes boat trips to view monkeys, birds, etc. and a jungle walk to do the same. The views from the restaurant are amazing. There is quite a trek up hundreds of steps to get there, so don't bring your giant suitcases with you or you... More

I simply cannot recommend this place highly enough. We had an amazing 3 weeks in Borneo but Last Frontier was, for me, the highlight. When we booked it up we thought we might be trading in comfort for the setting and jungle experience but not a bit of it. The rooms are superb (including really good bathrooms, which was a... More

I can only repeat what other reviewers have said about The Last Frontier Resort - it really is as perfect as the reviews suggest. Jason, who manages and runs the resort on a day to day basis, was a joy to deal with from our original booking, making sure all aspects of our trip were covered and checking if we... More

I gotta say, straight up, that Jason is one of the most amazing people we have ever met. Helpful, caring, intelligent and I believe also a great cook. He went wayyyyyy out of his way to help us and I'm voting now for Jason to run as Prime Minister for Malaysia! Or Australia. OK, I'll stop gushing. Josill (guide and... More

Fantastic. Great location, great food, great host. We met lovely people, staff as well as guests and overall the experience was amazing. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending last frontier to anyone.
