Kinabatangan River Lodge

WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

There is a media room – well, a room with a TV – that shows excellent documentaries about the abundant wildlife found in the region. The restaurant serves good quality buffet style Halal food and is a pleasant place to while away the evening chatting about your adventures of the day. Please let us know in advance if you have any special dietary requirements. To the rear of the lodge are well marked nature trails that can be done with your guide or, if you’re feeling adventurous, independently.

The lodge operates in an eco-friendly way and promotes sustainable tourism practices such as supporting local fishermen and where possible using “green” products. Eco tourism is a relatively new concept in this region but this lodge is making a good effort. The owner also supports the Abai Homestay Development Fund which receives a donation for every person stopping at the lodge to upgrade the village facilities, buy school uniforms and books for the children and seeds for growing vegetables. There are only 33 rooms in total so please book early as there are very few decent alternatives in the area.
