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.

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!

the place was nice but a bit pricy for the longhouse with no attach bathroom and aircond

no electric jug or even glass for guest to use. night time quite bore at this stay.

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.

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.

A very comfortable place to stay, clean with a very comfortable bed. The water heater works well too.

❌ There are dogs infront of our cottage entrance door. We couldn't get to seat outside and enjoy the night. We are scared of dogs. ❌ The place is far from shop, restaurant....etc ❌ There are so many ants in the toilet...especially ath the sink...not sure where they're coming from. Could be from the pipeline.

- Friendly and helpful staff - Superb location nested within tea plantation hills and pristine rainforest, with views of Mt Kinabalu - Beautifully maintained garden - On-site activities like tea factory visit and tea tasting - Creative and well executed food in the house restaurant (except the sirloin - the meat was not the best)

- Some dishes in the restaurant were at best ok, notably the sirloin steak
