Sepilok Nature Resort

The resort offers all the comforts and amenities needed after a long wet day spent trekking in the forest: all the timber chalets-sitting by a beautiful natural lake - have attached bathrooms with hot and cold water, shower and bathtub, ceiling fan and air-conditioning. Meals are served in the central building under coved terraces, and it is not uncommon at all to wake up in the morning with an Orang-utan or a few pig-tail Macaques sitting on the verandah.

Besides being the ideal staring point for most other wildlife land destinations in Sabah, as the fauna-rich Kinabatangan river and the surrounding Sukau area, the Sepilok Nature Resort also offers the perfect setting for relaxing after a long plane trip, before continuing on a diving holiday to Lakayan.

Set in a spectacularly landscaped private area of manicured lawns and rolling hills, the fully air-conditioned twin bed chalets feature beautiful lake or jungle view verandahs and private bathrooms with hot water; the surrounding garden - which would take half a day to explore - offers and amazing array of tropical plants and grasses and a collection of more than one hundred and fifty different Asian orchid species.
