Boutique hotel vacation rentals in Sabah

We had such a good time at the Bigfin. Staff was super kind, food was delicious and the surroundings are beautiful. We had stormy weather the entire week but we didn't mind, it's also a great place to relax. Saddening though to see how much plastic washes up at the shores :(

I never expected Kudat to have such amazing villas. Serendipity is a beachfront villa with 4 tastefully furnished luxurious rooms. Our spacious room was located upstairs with a really comfortable bed, dressing table, tv, day bed, fan, adequate lighting and two air conditioners. The room has a big sea-facing balcony which is perfect for yoga and night photography to capture the stars and Milky Way. However, it can get pretty hot in the afternoon as there is direct sunlight into the room. This villa is very exclusive, quiet and serene. You will truly enjoy this place with its own swimming pool and a fully equipped self-catering kitchen and not to mention the ‘private’ beach with stunning sunsets. And oh, the beach cabana is a keeper!!! Phone reception is non-existence but WiFi is available in the vicinity (however signal is poor in the rooms upstairs). Bring your own ingredients to cook unless you want to drive out for meals or cater from the management. Nearest restaurants are about 10-15 mins away to the Tip of Borneo, or about 20km to town. This place is part of the Kudat Riviera exclusive villas, which is very well maintained. Every morning their workers are seen cleaning up the beach and gardens. Definitely worth a visit to have a break from the hustle and bustle of Kota Kinabalu city. I do hope this place remains well-kept and not lose its charm as more people start to discover this hidden gem..

We had a brilliant weekend at Serendipity with a great bunch of friends. The hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating. The private chef also cooked us a delicious meal. It’s a stunning property in a beautiful part of the world. And really good value.

If you want to experience the jungle away from the crowds then this place is the best hidden gem you can find around the Kinabantagan river. The rooms are spacious, will fit a family easily, it's clean and up a hill surrounded by trees with lots of wildlife. Gert is a perfect host and does everything to make your stay special. Jason the chef makes delicious food and always in for a chat. The guide is very knowledgeable. We have spotted wild orangutans just at the stairs from the resort and watched them for hours. As the place is not big you have a lot of privacy without seeing tourists all over. Very relaxing and memorable stay!

We stayed at Serendipity for 5 days, with my family of 3 teenaged kids. We loved the ocean and the pool and Rosie's cooking. You definately need a car to get around, the supermarket and bank is 40 minutes drive. In the neighborhood there are some small, charming restaurants. And we drove in the morning to the fish market, and in the evening it was put on the BBQ. Loved it! We recommend the place, it is quiet and beautiful.

The location of the homestay is not biased, but there is a bus stop downstairs. The surrounding crowds are a little complicated. The environment and hygiene of the homestay are fine. Overall, it is good.

Three beds in the family room, in fact, can sleep five or six people because there are two double beds.In addition to the bathroom is a little small, the book comes from the filter shower. I found that the host's water heater is filtered, which is very good.10 minutes walk from Faima Pier and three minutes from super good dozo.

The boss is very nice, the check-in environment is very clean, and it is also very convenient to go out and play

Clean and cozy, big balcony, it felt good to stay!Boss is from Jiangsu, very nice!Can help arrange sea fishing, island hopping, etc., the price is absolutely affordable!There are no rooms to take photos with a few great views!

Well, a little stress on arrival because the phone number for this Airbnb was in China!

The room is clean, the Chinese host is great, there is also a large balcony, it would be better if the toilet was a little bigger.

Great experience, as a homestay in a small town, is very cost-effective.Just that the surroundings are more broken, just come back to the homestay at night, don't hang out.The homestay offers iced water and hot water, tea can be made, and there are dozo and wangwang around to eat.

Already 2nd time booking w the host. Definitely recommend 💯

Just wow. Having been traveling for quite some time I was amazed to find such great value with so many thoughtful touches. Absolutely loved the hotel, but the service and hospitality is even better. My room was stunning and the bed was very comfy!

It's kind of like a small hostel in the country about 80, I think I'll spend a little more money next time, because the town is originally dirty, this location is completely in the town, go to the pier to pass a long slum-like path, affecting the mood to play.

Clean and fast responsive

Very good, two originally scheduled, stay for five days, the host directly replaced us with one, saved a lot of trouble, thank you very much, a good experience

Just like staying in a hotel

Not bad, with a small garden that is private and quiet to sleep at night.
