My personal interests is swimming, jogging, hiking, listening to music, songs, picnicking, reading, movies, lovers of foods, socialising, shopping , marketing, gardening; farming, travelling , adventures, etc. As a host, I love to meet travellers from different countries, with the aim of understanding their cultures & customs. Because of love of natures & foods, I enjoy bringing our guests to different Open-air/night market food stalls so that they'll enjoy & enjoy their foods that they order. If our guests want to have a tour of Kuching City, we're more than happy to bring them around, even without cost. A family atmosphere is very important for us & our guesthouse, as we want to make our guests as comfortable as possible. "Home away from home, or a second home is possible in Kuching!" Cheers! Samuel.
Our location, Padungan street is dated back to the 1900s, where it's long, rich history of Chinese immigrants to this location of Kuching City. The legendary white cat statue was built in the year 1988 to mark Kuching as a city, and it is located just a few meters in front of Marco Polo Guesthouse. Near to Marco Polo is a small Chinese temple and a large Christian church. Amenities near the Guesthouse include pharmacies, banks/ATMs, restaurants/cafes, and a range of other small familyl-operated shops and businesses. Just across a hundred metre from verandah, the Indonesia consulate is in operation for renewed passport, etc.
