Points To Remember

As we are a private family home as well as a bed and breakfast homestay, there are naturally a few special requests that we need to make of our guests.

Guest Fitness

Guests intending to take advantage of the surrounding attractions should bear in mind that there is no public transport, and that taxis must be booked in advance. We will be pleased to drop you off around the area when we are free, but you may well have to walk modest distances, so reasonable fitness is required. In addition, the Mount Santubong Trek requires above average fitness. Of course, if you simply want to lounge by the pool during your stay, please disregard the above.

Families With Children

We are unable to accept guests with children under 14 years old. It’s not that we don’t like kids, just that we have an unattended swimming pool, steep staircases, rugged rock features in the garden and slippery slopes leading to the adjacent rainforest. Therefore we simply cannot accept any liability for young children.

Halal Food

We are unable to provide halal food in our kitchen, and we also serve alcohol. There is a halal Muslim seafood restaurant (Dayang Seafood) 5 minutes walk from Nanga Damai.

Family Pets

We currently have three pet dogs, Betty, Oscar and Ben, all friendly and well-behaved Borneo hunting dogs. If you are not happy with dogs around the place, you might need to look somewhere else. For your information, the dogs are not allowed in the house or any guest accommodation area – please don’t encourage them to do otherwise.

Length Of Stay

We have a minimum two nights stay policy.

Room Occupancy

Guests are limited to two occupants per room - we do not allow multiple occupancy or provide additional beds. Our normal check-out time is 11.00 am, however we are usually flexible about check out times if your room is not needed by another guest.

Payment Terms

All payment terms for accommodation, food and beverage, use of phone etc are cash. We do not accept credit cards. If you wish to pay in foreign currency (USD, GBP, EURO, YEN, AUD, HKD, SGD) we will charge the prevailing bank buying rate plus a handling fee of 5%. We do not accept low-denomination notes in any currency as these are difficult to exchange later. Please note there are no ATM facilities in the area.
