Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

Trisha, Simon and their staff are absolutely fantastic. They provide a terrific experience. The facilities are super nice, but what stands out is that they treat you like family. Also, the food provided is truly exceptional. They should get a Michelin star. Make sure that you book the room with breakfast included. Super recommended for anyone staying in the town.

We like the villa living room. It has very nice view, and we can see the mountain. My family, especially my parents also liked the little garden around the villa, the flowers were very nice. It was good that standing fans were provided. The big dustbin with cover is good. The cups & utensils were pretty. Microwave is available. Handsoaps & towels were provided.

The location was wonderful, as we had a fantastic view of the valley! Our villa also had a balcony with a table and benches so we could enjoy the view with a simple meal. On a clear day, we can also catch a glimpse of Mount Kinabalu's peak, so that was a treat. The general cleanliness of our homestay was acceptable, and there was a vending machine to sell us basic items like 3in1 coffee sachets for emergencies.

Spacious queen bed and shelf to store belongings. The hot shower is working, thankfully. Room 3 is great with the window looking out the village ( I recommend adding one chair in the room ). All and all, a good deal for the price.

Everything is fantastic. It is only 30-40 minutes drive from the town but the vie is so much different. You can see the village, the jungle the city and the sea from the platform. It is breathtaking experience when I saw the sun cast the last light upon the islands and the city stars start to shine. The staff took good care of me when I didn’t feel well.

En Junaidy was more than accommodating as we wanted to learn more about the guesthouse and the community rural eco tourism initiative done by the village. Food was amazing, we glad we chose the village meal cooked for us by the family instead of going out to the town to eat. Sleeping with the waves and waking up to the sunrise by the sea was both mesmerizing and healing!

It is in a village but relatively close to the town area. There is nearby surau. At night, it's quite peaceful & cool. The unit comes with 2 rooms. The kitchen & living area are well sized, equip with all basic necessities like gas stove, rice cooker, kettle and a TV and an audio set. Parking space is very adequate. Air conditioning is above expectation. Ideal for a family stay needing space without burning a hole in your pocket.
