“Village House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 September 2011

people found this review helpful

I could stay here for a long time!

We were met by Ms Linh(?) who gave us the run down of the joint before being taken to our room overlooking the pool. Having dumped our gear we wandered down for lunch which was fantastic and spent the rest of the day swimming, reading, eating and then a few beers in the bar whilst I watched the AFL Finals. I was a happy chap!

Lawrence, the manager availed himself and was not only keen to make sure all was hunky dory but was a bloody good bloke to chat to. Through him we arranged with others to head to Bako Nat Park (Lawrence drove both ways) and arranged our transfer to Kuching Airport too.

The decor is sensational, the service fantastic, the location peaceful and the beach five minutes walk away great for sunsets. There is an upstairs library and the owners are into their photography so there are lots of images around and mags too on the subject. Being a photographer i was kinda in heaven.

I actually feel bad about writing a review as I reckon I'd like to keep the place to myself but it's in my caring sharing nature to help you the discerning public coz i am a top bloke!

“Great Escape”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2011 via mobile

Very relaxing place to stay to escape the modern world.  The staff were all extremely hospitable, friendly, and Lawrence was able to drive us out to the starting point of various walks/hikes and nearby restaurants.  Taxis were easily arranged for trips into Kuching - we were always quite lucky that all our taxis back from Kuching knew of the Village House.

We found the pool plenty large enough (we're not training for the Olympics), and with it's ledge close to the bar it was getting good use day and night.  The rooms (aside from the suites) are air-conditioned, clean, simple, nearly all overlook the pool, no wardrobe just a clothes stand, sarongs provided, bathrooms were clean, large and bright.

There is wifi in the common areas near the bar.  If you need things like TVs and mini-bars you will need to book one of the suites.  We spent most of our time around the pool with a book and a glass of wine, or out exploring some of the jungle trails.  Don't forget some lemongrass bug spray.

Definitely try the Taste of Borneo dinner - multiple courses by their chef, menu is seasonal, fresh from the market that day.  The Taste of Borneo was a great experience, not short of a five star meal.  In general all the food provided (including breakfast) was excellent, especially the pancakes and local layer cakes.

“Lovely small hotel in the middle of nowhere!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 September 2011

We stayed here 3 nights and had a perfect stay! Our room was very spacious (suite) with balcony and tv. I think a small room is also ok. Pool is small but nice and clean. Restaurant serves nice food (European and Asian). Laurence the manager is also nice but we want to give special compliments to "Zin". She is one of the girls who is taking care of everything: one moment she is cleaning the rooms, pool etc. and the other moment serving lunch or dinner and always with a smile! Hope they take care of her. This place is a modern paradise!

“Great- very friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011 via mobile

Stayed during the rainforest fest and really enjoyed ourselves. Went with a group and Donald and marina really looked after us. Very flexible with transport to he festival etc. Great atmosphere as all the guests were up for the festival. Food is good too. Rooms a bit small bug honestly we were only in them to sleep 5 hours a night. Festival was excellent in terms of music and atmosphere as was Kuching. Hotel only added to the experience. Would definately try to stay again for the festival next yr.
