Sabah Tea Resort

There was a genuine 'historic' feel to this property. I'd opted to say in one of the Longhouse rooms, and it certainly gave us a feeling of what it'd have been like to live there in years gone by.

The detached bungalows on site were all fully booked so we chose to stay in one of the Longhouse rooms. I'm around 95 kg, so the mattress wasn't quite as thick as I'm used to but I still managed to sleep okay. Due to the very nature of the Longhouses, there's little privacy because there are only thin walls separating the rooms and they don't extend up to the roof. However, if that's not an issue then it's going to be an authentic experience of how folks lived decades ago.

Beautiful views and room was spacious and pretty clean. The history behind the names of the cottages was really interesting and a lovely touch.

Not much information was provided at check in relating to the factory visits etc. The food in the on site restaurant was poor - cold and bland at high prices. They did reheat for us upon request but should not be served that way to begin with.

The longhouse was a unique accommodation that they had decorated in traditional style and provided information about its craft and history. The site was well managed. The restaurant had an amazing view!

We felt charging us to go on the treetop canopy was unnecessary and we would have liked a the opportunity for a tour of the tea factory etc. Staff could be more forth coming in providing information.
