“Fantastic place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 December 2011

people found this review helpful

This is one of the best rental ever seen. Owners are very hospitable, and simply nice people, who find the time to meet you at the airport and to drive you back at and of rental. Apartments are very spacious and the value beats all competitors (mean hotels) with the same price nearby. Interior is fresh and rich with different nice surprises you don't expect from rentals: fridge with some loot for breakfast, DVD, hotel like accessories. You simple feels you are at home. Theresa and Nigel, thank you for so nice support for our holidays!! Apartments are highly recommended for everyone staying in KK, it's much better choice than hotel.

P.S. The only one small disadvantage I find in Nov.2011 is that there's developer activity seen from balcony with yellow crane that builds something big, spoiling the sea view.

Dear Mphzack

Thank you for your kind review and apologies for this late response. We are glad you had a good time in KK. Unfortunately, we can't do anything about the building going up in front of us though. Even if we lose the views in the future, the location is still very central so it will still be a good base for visiting KK.

Regards

“Great apartment get there quick before the view is lost!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

person found this review helpful

Nigel and Theresa were very kind to collect us from the airport, even though it was late at night and show us around the apartment. It is very spacious and well furnished, probably too much for a couple in hindsight - much better value for a family of 4-6, though we did make good use of the excess space! Food and drink that Theresa had already bought was very useful and was mostly all we needed. Slight niggles included the balcony door, which was hard to lock and phone, though a good idea, needs a new battery as would run out almost instantly if not plugged in. The main issues were not Nigel and theresa's fault. A nearby nightclub meant my wife who is a lighter sleeper than I was krpt up for some of the nights - espeially bad fri and sat. Theresa is complaining about this but unfortunately not sure if she'll get anywhere. There is also building work opposite which is going to total ruin the view from the apartment so my advice is to get there sooner rather than later as one of the best views in kk will soon be lost!

Dear mikeyjonesy

Hope you both had a great time on your onward journey from KK. Thank you for your kind review.Just to keep you updated on the niggles that you pointed out :-

With regards the noise - have notify the relevant department and hope that it might make some difference. But just to be on the safe side, we are looking into ways within the apartment to lessen the nosiy. Unfortunately, double glazing has yet to arrive in Sabah though from our search, it might not be too long before it does.

The phone has got a new battery and the balcony door is working alright now.

We can't do anything about the building going up in front of us though. Even if we lose the views in the future, the location is still very central so it will still be a good base for visiting KK.

Theresa Rogers

“How to make a reseravtion”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I saw your reviews and like your hotel very much. However, there is no easy way to make a reservation online. Your web site does not have a link to make reservation. And there are quite a few same properties in the same apartment complex with different configuration and price. It is very con fussed.

Dear Schen49

Thank you for taking the time to point out the weak point in our website. You are right to say that there are lots of apartments in the same complex offering short lets. Some of them are companies with lots of units and some are private individuals - like me, who have only 1 unit to let.

The companies with lots of units will have online booking on their website. For me, there is an enquiry form on my website or you can email me with your request - you can find it on the Contact Us page of my website. Not have an online booking or a link to an online booking page have not deter my guests from finding us.

I look forward to welcoming you to our apartment.

“Excellent apartment!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

person found this review helpful

Spent an excellent 4 nights in this lovely apartment during June 2011. Nigel & Teresa picked us up at the airport and showed us around the apartment, which was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated, including a lovely balcony to watch the sunset from.

Lots of little extras which you wouldn't normally expect too, such as starter pack of food essentials; mobile phone, free wifi and of course the airport transfers.

The swimming pool in the complex, which gets sun from around mid-morning, is very clean and pretty quiet most of the time. The apartment is also within easy walking distance to shopping malls and lots of eating places, including the night markets.

We crossed over to the islands for some swimming and snorkelling on a couple of days. Jessleton jetty is a bit further away, but can be walked to in around 30mins or is a short bus or taxi ride away.

All in all I would thoroughly recommend staying here during a visit to KK!
