Traditional experience
The Resort is set in a stunning location with wonderful views of Mount Kinabalu from the affiliated Restaurant. A stay in one of their 2 longhouses is a must and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only downside to our stay was that we didn't get to try their famous homemade scones as they are too popular!

To get to the hotel, you will have to drive to unpaved road for maybe less than 1km. The cottage that I stayed is clean and tidy. However, insects can be quite troublesome at night. Maybe due to its location. The restaurant is superb. Breakfast is also wonderful. The tea is a must try!

Great Longhouse experience
we knew it would be a Longhouse so it was a fun experience, but everything was as clean as a bamboo structure could be, bedding & towels were clean, washbasin in the room, short walk to toilets, great food at restaurant and wonderful views to Mount Kinabalu - so it was great VALUE FOR MONEY

Close to nature
Long house is a better way to stay rather than camping to be close to nature. Please be aware of all weird insects/animals and the sounds they make.

Beatiful surrounding.
Was very impressed with the surrounding. Mountain valley with spectacular Mt Kinabalu view in the morning. Added to that room was in good order and comfortable. Kids and family love it very much.

Nice accommodation inside Tea Garden Area
Two options of accommodations:- 1) Rooms (shared bathroom) just like at "Rumah Panjang" (traditional Long House in Sabah) 2) Cottages The surrounding are quite cozy and suitable to relax with family. The cafe serves delicious food with quite a lot of variety. A few things that might need to be improved: 1) Access to the hotel from the main road is quite difficult. No tarmac road about for the access, only hard gravel road for about 2 km before reaching this hotel. 2) Internet and mobile signals are weak in this area. Other than these, everything is okay and we had a pleasant stay here for 2 nights.

Superb View of Mount Kinabalu
We have to drive up a rocky road to reach Sabah Tea Garden. However, upon reaching the cottage, we were welcome with a spectacular view. We stayed in Lofty2 n the side window gave us the view of the Mount Kinabalu too. A great place to stay and will definitely return.

Room with a view!
We stayed in one of the well appointed cottages that had a wonderful view of Mt Kinabalu. The location is magic, transporting you into a lost world of peace and solitude. The restaurant offers spectacular views overlooking Mt KInabalu across the tea plantations. We sat there for hours, sampling their tasty menu, mesmerized by the incoming storm and the changes of cloud cover that passed across our view. Spectacular!

こんな体験初めて！
僻地の山の上に有る宿泊所。到着すると予約が無いと言われ、またwifiも調子が悪いと繋がらず、スマホから予約の内容も見せる事が出来なかった。仕方なく町まで20分ほど戻りwifiが繋がる場所で内容を写メして戻ってから見せた。日本語なので内容が理解できない様子でしばらくどこかに電話を掛けてずっと待たされた。ただ一泊3000円程の移動で寝るだけの部屋で一時間近くも掛かりヘトヘトになった。予約がないのはホテルの問題かhotels.comの問題かは定かでは無いが、非常に危ない体験だった。もう少しで山奥で野宿させられる所だった！どうせHOTEL’S.comは悪い口コミは意図的に載せないので書いても無駄だと思うが、本当は他の方の今後の参考の為にも是非この体験談を載せるべきだと思っている。過去数多くの悪い宿泊体験の口コミは全く載せないというhotels.comの対応は今後どこかで消費者を欺く行為として裁かれるはずである！私もいくつかの抹殺された口コミを保存してまとめて糾弾したいと考えています！
