Incredible!

This could possibly be the most beautiful place I've ever stayed! The photos don't quite do it justice, and my partner and I were both blown away with the peacefulness and beauty of the chalet and broader area. The house is right on the beach, private and has the most incredible outlook. We essentially had the beach to ourselves with the exception of a few local fisherman, and it really felt like we were staying on a private island. Jason and the staff were amazing and went out of their way to help us, organizing a seafood bbq at the chalet along with wine. I was a bit worried about rubbish on beach as this seems to be a big problem elsewhere in Borneo, but the water and beach area directly around the chalet were pristine (further down there was quite a lot of washed-up plastic, but this is unavoidable and did not impact us at all). Could not speak highly enough of our stay here - we just wish it had been for longer! Highly recommend visiting this part of the world before the tourist hoards get to it.
