Situated amidst abundant greenery, Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly known as Sepilok Nature Resort is a haven for nature lovers. It has a restaurant, and offers complimentary WiFi access in its public areas. The location is right next to the Sepilok Orang Utan rehabilitation center, so couldn't be better if you have come to Borneo to see Orang Utans. The lodge is beautifully constructed from timber and surrounds a pond. There are many large trees and tropical plants throughout the premises. The food at the restaurant was excellent, especially the pizzas.The bedroom was very spacious and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Nice tea and coffee provided in the rooms with a kettle.
