    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.

    The homestay feels safe and private. Decorations and design were minimalistic which I personally love. The rooms were lovely and best part is everything smells good, especially the blankets. The best part about it all is how clean the place is. And i have to give props to the property owner for being so helpful and friendly
