“Peaceful Nature Retreat”
The resort is surrounded by nature and tea farm, and you can see Mount Kinabalu in the distance. Had a short chat with the staff they're friendly with strays. They feed most of them, and you’ll mostly see cats, while dogs only appear occasionally. It's really kind of them to do that.

“Amazing place for short stays.”
Property is settled in beautiful nature surrounded by tea plantation with direct view to Mount Kinabalu. Challets are extremely good value for money, clean and comfortable. Restaurant offered very tasty food with very good quality at reasonable prices. We stayed there just one night when we were transferring from Kinabalu national park to Sepilok, but it was a great choice. We would wished to spend one day more there to explore the surroundings.

1, Access to the place is difficult especially if arriving at night as the signage is very poor. 2) Also the billing by Booking.Com did the reflect the amount to be paid at the hotel.. Booking.Com amount was RM 216 but I have to pay RM 237.60 at the hotel. If RM 237.60 is the amount to be paid at the hotel Booking.Com should show the correct amount. Very Disappointing!
