Quite OK place, but the sister place Abai Jungle Lodge is the real pearl (not on TripAdvisor it seems). This place is only reachable by boat through Kinabatangan. We saw a lot of monkeys, orangutans and birds, and at last the pygmy elephants we had been looking for.

Spent 2 nights here as part of the S.I. Tour of the Kinabatangan River. The tour company itself was amazing - our guide Hiro was very informative (they all were) and we saw tons of wildlife - the highlight being a herd of 30 elephants on the river bank - the closest being 2 metros from the boat! The lodge... More

Me and my partner spent two nights here as part of a tour. As soon as you arrive from the boat you are greeted by friendly staff with a welcome drink.

Wonderful place to base exploration of the Sakau region. Rooms are pretty basic but very comfortable, clean. Food was great and the service was fantastic.

The first impression was the colour of the water in the toilet as it was almost as muddy as the river. This place is only accessible by boat and used by a tour company. The cabins are very basic, and there are nice areas to sit around the dining area. The food was quite good and alcohol was available. There... More

We stayed here for a few nights during our two week trip to Borneo. The location of this lodge is excellent; right on the riverfront with nice observation decks and plenty of wildlife to see in the immediate vicinity. The rooms themselves were fine. They were a good size and they were kept very clean. There was no aircon but... More
