Located in Lahad Datu, Myoldhouse features a garden and shared lounge. This homestay provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool. Probably the best place to spend a night in Lahad Datu as everything was very clean and our host Mr. Teo went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. There are several day tours available, e.g. to Kinabatangan river. We didn’t know otherwise would have probably booked with them. The pool and breakfast were also great and Mr Teo made sure we had good suggestions for the other meals. Great stay overall!

Featuring a shared lounge, Mulu D cave homestay is set in Mulu. The property features mountain and quiet street views. The homestay has family rooms.

All units comprise a seating area with a sofa, a dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen with various cooking facilities, including a fridge, a stovetop and kitchenware. A patio with an outdoor dining area and garden views is offered in all units. At the homestay, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. Our first stay prior to going to Mulu Pinnacles, we stayed in the 3 bed, fan room. It can get warm during the day. On our return we needed to rest out aching bodies and stayed in the Aircon 3 bed room. The beds are singles and can be put together for a double bed too. Aircon is new and works great. Each room has a clothes rack. Towels and toilet paper provided. Excellent Breakfast was provided every morning. Often Dina asked what we wanted so it was often different. Although banana crepes are their signature breakfast. Robert is from Mulu and it's great to see they have a business and survived after the tough COVID years. Too many foreigners go to Marriott and sadly there isn't enough support for the local businesses.

Situated in Mulu, Mulu Village offers accommodation with a patio.

The homestay offers a terrace.

It is 2.4 km to Mulu National Park. The nearest airport is Mulu Airport, 2.6 km from Mulu Village. Brenda and James are amazing! They are very knowledgeable and super friendly. They will give amazing recommendations, and are accommodating (even when you need a last minute ride or forget to order breakfast the night before and show up right near the end...) The rooms do not have AC but the nights cool off and the fan was more than enough for us and I tend to run very warm. The location was perfect for us, it's a 30 minute walk to the park (or a quick ride) but it was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. We ended up spending a morning reading on the covered porch because it was pouring rain. It was idyllic.
