I stayed in the long house which was great fun for two nights. The mosquito nets held up great and it was useful having a sink in the bedroom. The restaurant is a good 5-10 mins walk away but it was nice to get the fresh air. The food is decent. You can also organise various tours - I did one of the tea factory and I could then wander around the plantation

The pillow was rock hard so I had to create my own using spare towels and bedsheets (I was staying by myself). The wall to your neighbours are actually just partitions so you can hear them if they’re loud (but I was lucky that they weren’t).

Beautiful location with lovely views over surrounding tea fields against a backdrop of Mount Kilabalu. We stayed in a cosy cottage - the longhouse was a bit of a challenge for our spoiled old bones! Very reasonable price. Nice dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Lovely gifts in the shop. Wonderfully cooler and less humid than lowland Sabah.

Signposting to the reception is a little tricky. Restaurant is 8-minute (nice) walk from the overnight accommodation. Remote rural location, so don't expect exciting evening entertainment.

Beautiful and peaceful location, helpful staff, simple but functional and clean, nice food

My kids were scared of the many stray dogs there, they often were near the restaurant and barked and seemed a bit aggressive … was a struggle to get my kids into the restaurant. Ladies toilet didn’t got cleaned in 3 days and one was clogged up and stinking.

This was an incredible place. We spent a night in the longhouse and ate in the restaurant. The longhouse was brilliant. It was so exciting to have this experience and it was far more well appointed than we expected with sinks and lights in each room! The open air restaurant that looks out over the tea gardens and Mt Kinabalu is in a stunning setting and the food was delicious..None of us wanted to leave!

A treasure in the mountains - if you are looking for absolute beauty and tranquility, this is the place for you. It is clean, has welcoming, kind staff and has an excellent restaurant. The views of Kinabalu are amazing, you can listen to the birds sing and have your morning tea surrounded by the tea fields. We wished we could have stayed longer!

Having to leave!

It was quite basic and rustic but this made it a really interesting experience. There are interesting activities around and I am glad we stayed there for a night on our way from Sandakan to KK. We enjoyed an early sunrise walk in the surrounding and liked the experience on the tea resort.

The staff at the restaurant and the manager were really friendly (not the official reception of the cottages). They even drove us to the bus station which would be quite far to walk (especially with luggage and in the humid heat). They gave us contradicting information about the bus schedule, so check with the manager. The food and the tea were both really nice!

The accommodation (cottage) is a bit „in the years“, not very inviting and there were some (not many) insects. If you wanna stay there a night for the tea and the landscape it is fine. However, I would not recommend it as a location to relax. There is no wifi in the room. The price at the counter was higher then via booking, it makes sense to double-check.

Spacious. Big family area & very nice open space looking up the mount kinabalu

Bugs.. but it's expected as its surrounded by nature. But the rooms are clean & free from bugs. Bathroom for master bedroom can be improve. Aliran air tersumbat.

it was extremely authentic! sleeping in a longhouse is an experience I won’t forget. the views from the restaurant of Mount Kinabalu in the morning were exceptional!

the light in the longhouse was on all night which was good for those who needed to use the bathroom, but not great for sleeping.
