If you've never been to a longhouse you should visit one when at Kuching and the Bidayu one is about 45 mins drive away from the town centre. Get to see how the locals live in the longhouse. There's also a homestay programme if you would like to experience life as a local for a few days! Look out for... More

We visited Annah Rais Longhouse after the Semmengoh reserve. The drive through Borneo heights is beautiful. After the entrance fee, no guide was provided and we were left to roam around on our own. We were expecting a beautiful longhouse or at least with details of architecture worthy of visit.. We saw a ramshackle settlement on stilts.. very disappointing. Maybe... More

I booked a tour to visit the Annah Rais longhouse. Our guide grew up there and was very informative. I learned quite a bit. The people were friendly, it's well maintained, and it's like nothing I'd seen before.

Learnt a lot about how the people in long houses live. Met some very friendly native people there who offered me fruit for free. I also tried wild durian for the first time here.

This is a functional longhouse with villages/families and extended families living in them. During the day time, the men will work in the field, so only the old and the young ones are around. Not to mention cats. There are a few longhouses in this village. Be sure to get a guide for your longhouse tour so that you understand... More
