Myoldhouse

Lahad Datu

Located in Lahad Datu in the Sabah region, Myoldhouse features accommodation with access to beauty services. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool. The owner, Mr. Teo, is very nice and we got a lot of info from him. We stayed here again for a night after coming back from Danum valley to break our drive back to KK. There are light snacks and free water refill throughout the day. Place is clean, safe and very relaxing. Staff are nice and very approachable - even allowed us to cook our Maggi noodles in their clean kitchen for simple dinner as we had too much to eat at Danum. Highly recommend and will love to stay here again if I ever return to Lahad Datu.

Tajau Laut Guesthouse

Kudat

Situated in Kudat, Tajau Laut Guesthouse offers accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Staff on-site can arrange a shuttle service. So far this has been the best homestay where we have been staying in Sabah. We booked for one night and ended up staying almost a week. The location is stunning, the rooms are facing a pristine ocean. We swam more than once to the reef right in front of the place. Owner and family are very friendly and they are doing so much to preserve the reef. If you have a chance make them a donation on their found, their planting corals and doing a great job. Breakfast is included and you can have coffee, tea and water all day. They also rent scooter, snorkel and fins and cook lunch and dinner for you if you want to. In this secluded place you'll find all what you need!
