Located in Lahad Datu, Myoldhouse features a garden and shared lounge. This homestay provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool. I like the view, the surrouding, even the girl help me check in is kind and helpful. The room is spacious, every facility is well prepared. Although ironing is sharing but it is considerate for a homestay. The balcony is large and chilling, if staying with friends, we will be able to fully utilise the balcony as the balcony links all room together.

Located in Damai, Nanga Damai Homestay features a garden and terrace. Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge and a bar. The guest house offers an outdoor swimming pool and luggage storage space. Everything was perfect! The place is magical for nature , and the house is full of charm. From our room, we were lucky enough to see a family of proboscis monkeys in the trees surrounding the homestay. The staff is lovely and available at any time. The hosts are incredibly attentive, whether it’s arranging car transfers, booking various activities, or ordering meals on request (special thanks to Emily and Willis). We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend Nanga Damai Homestay !
