    Everything was nice. Maybe I would like to point out one minor dislike about the mattress. I wish it could more comfortable mattress and pillows to sleep in as my back was slightly screaming at me in the next morning. heeh

    The greenery surrounding and how the property planned the layout to feel like you are actually living in the wild comfortably.

    The directions to get there were extremely confusing. Neither using Waze nor Goggle maps was helpful. The entrance to the retreat could be better signposted (bigger) to help.

    It was tucked away in the jungle. When we arrived a family of gibbons were spotted in the trees in fro t of us 🥰

    The road from the gate to the chalet. The path is so steep & slippery for cars especially after raining.

    It's very soothing staying here. Unfortunately it rained the whole night disrupting our plan to go hiking on trail. But we managed to see gibbons early in the morning which is a plus! A lot of friendly dogs especially if you have food. Also a plus, you can order grab food & frozen durians here. Caretakers & cleaners are friendly.

    The caretaker was very responsive. And the chalets are separated by some distance, which give a very good privacy. Most of the things you need for your meal making are prepared too, overall it was a great spot for a weekend getaway.

    This is definitely a good place to go if you're seeking a quiet getaway with your loved ones. It is nestled in the middle of the jungle. You get your own privacy as each chalet is located far apart from each other. The place is pet friendly, staffs are friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out procedures are simple. Basic cooking utensils are provided as well, you can make your own meals while staying there.

    A quiet natural retreat with all the basic stuff you need, just a stone's throw away from the city!

    There were some mosquitoes as expected but the lodging already prepared for us insecticides and mosquito coils which were very thoughtful. We had some insect nest growing outside our unit but the property helpers immediately came and helped us get rid of it once they were informed. Again, very helpful workers there... Thank you! A pity there was a quarry outside the forest area, but it was not noisy and was invisible to us. Only when entering and exiting did we see it. Hopefully, it will not expand and spoil this wonderful sanctuary. hope to come back again!

    I like the natural location of the retreat, in a rainforest. It was nice and quiet and calm. The lodge was not luxurious but it had everything we needed for a stay there, all necessary cooking equipment was there and you just need to bring food there to cook, although the fridge was a mini fridge only so do not bring too much perishables. We knew that so brought mostly dried and canned food, etc. A hotpot was provided and an electric kettle... The resident dogs were very quiet and well trained although they did their work to "bark" at the monkeys who ventured to come near our lodge for food. The dogs never dared to enter the gates even when invited in, only sleeping at the doorsteps and they followed us whenever we walked out, maybe to guide us back if we ever get lost, it seemed. It was hot and humid in the afternoon but turned quite cooling and windy at night surprisingly.

    Can see the work going on in the quarry at some angles of the Retreat

    It is in nature and yet not far from civilisation. Totally surrounded by trees. A different experience sleeping in a tent within the chalet.

    it gets hot because there’s no aircon during the hot season so would heavily advise wearing or bringing lighter clothing.

    love the location and how close to nature it is! facilities are simple but clean, perfect to connect with nature and super peaceful. we managed to see the leaf monkeys (who are non invasive and prefer to keep away from humans) if you have a pet coming with you, do make sure they are able to be kind/get along with the local dogs! they’re sweet but defensive. would not advise bringing reactive dogs.

    Comfy stay in the middle of nature at a reasonable price. Love the outdoor dining space outside the unit and all the amenities provided. We brought our own food and cooked at our unit (there is also a public cooking and dining space). A good place for a small family getaway. If travelling with small kids or older adults, you may want to enquire about units with less of a climb - it can be very steep.
