GreenHouse EcoLodge

Mantanani Island

Located in Mantanani Island, GreenHouse Lodge provides accommodation with access to a garden. The property boasts reusable plastic materials, using energy-saving lighting and conserving rainwater.

Some units feature a terrace and / or a patio with sea or garden views. We had a fantastic time on Mantanani Island. Superb location, right on the beach, no other hotels in the area. We were spoiled by Fred's wife (owner) who is in charge of the food. As vegetarians, we could not find a better place! No other restaurants in the area tough. Kayaks and snorkeling gear available, which we recommend. Nice walk to the nearby village too. Swimming in the sea here is very nice, no strong currents. Transfer is well arranged. Pick up (early!) in your hotel in KK, boat is waiting to bring you to the island and visa versa.

Borneo Jungle Adventure

Kinabatangan

With a terrace and barbecue facilities, Borneo Jungle Adventure is situated in Kinabatangan and features free WiFi.

At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Chinese, Malaysian and Grill BBQ cuisine. Vegetarian and halal options can also be requested. I would give a score 20 if I could :) I found this place a bit by coincidence and I honestly could not have made a better choice for my stay at the Kinabatangan river. The lodge is near to the river and I felt relaxed and at ease from the first moment I arrived. The rooms have just been renovated and are good value for money. Don’t expect luxury - you are in the midst of the jungle after all - but they are really decent, clean and far better quality than previous jungle accommodations I had in other places. All the meals are included and you will get plenty of delicious fingerlicking homecooked food. I was welcomed with the greatest hospitality by Linda. She is such a lovely and passionate person and cares a whole lot about the lodge and her guests. She will absolutely go the extra mile to be sure that her guests have the greatest experience. I also met the owner of the place who is a very kind and respectful man. I loved the fact that this is a very warm and personalised experience where you get to know a few other people without ending up in a big group. As for the wildlife we saw plenty of beautiful birds, lots of proboscis (and other) monkeys, even orangutans and a mesmerising experience with elephants coming up close to the lodge. It was absolutely phenomenal and I can most certainly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit a bit of the jungle in Borneo.

There is a private bathroom with bath and a hairdryer in each unit, along with slippers.

The nearest airport is Sandakan Airport, 116 km from the lodge. We loved the staff! They are very kind, helpful and extremely friendly. We were curious about their culture and they were willing to explain everything about it! We went several times on the cruise to be able to see as much wildlife as possible, and every time was as exciting as the first one!! We also had the pleasure to experience batik painting, which was a bit challenging but unique. Moreover, we enjoyed exploring gomantong cave! We ate at the lodge for our entire stay and we were very pleased with the menu and the fresh cooked, healthy food they offered us. Our stay was amazing and you need to try it!
