Great place to stay when visiting Taman Negara

Great place to stay if you want to visit Taman Negara. The owner is very helpful and has a bunch of good ideas for trips for good prices. Great service. The location itself is very nice. Great rooms, great food as well. No wifi available, but who cares. Beds are a bit to hard for our taste. Apart from that, could not be better.

Excellent location on the river next to the jungle

We had a lovely 2 nightstay in this welcoming guesthouse. It is an idyllic location on the river and close to the National Park for jungle walks and river trips. Excellent home cooked evening meal and a more than adequate breakfast.

Heerlijk verblijf

Het was een erg leuk en mooi verblijf. Marja en haar man zijn echt schatten van mensen. Ze doen alles voor je. Je kan er leuke excursies boeken. Vooral de trip die de hele dag duurt is echt de moeite waard. Moet je doen. Met de boot naar de waterval is ook zeer de moeite waard. En dan weer thuiskomen en de schitterende tuin en terras uitkijkend over de rivier. En dan aanschuiven aan het buffet. Heerlijk eten. De sfeer die er hangt is aangenaam.

heerlijke uitvalsbasis

een fijne uitvalsbasis om de schitterende jungle te ontdekken. De verzorging is prima en ze zijn je graag van dienst met alles. Het avondeten is inclusief en smaakt prima. Doe vooral de boottocht op de rivier: 8,5 km varen de jungle in. Marja regelt het graag voor je

Estadia positiva num local fantástico! Bem limpo, muito agradável e com boas refeições. Os transfers para Taman Negara foram fundamentais! Como pontos menores houve o facto de não haver internet durante a estadia. A simpatia da gerente também é um ponto a melhorar.
