The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

It's just amazing how Jason and his team took care of us. I have never experienced such individual, sensitive and thoughtful hotel management. One example is the food, which is not only excellent but a variety of Malay cuisine and the continent of each guest. The pickup from our hotel in Sepilok was reasonably priced and absolutely on time, as was our onward travel to another jungle camp. The Boutique-hotel simply organizes everything. Included in the price are 2 boat trips and a walk in the jungle (we added another boat trip for a fair price) with a very knowledgeable guide. The accommodation is in the middle of the jungle, so we could experience the feeling of nature and the jungle sounds up close, but at the same time enjoy the luxury of a clean, good hotel. Since there are only 4 rooms the atmosphere is very private and individual. It is good to communicate special catering needs in advance, as the food is always bought fresh in Sandakan, which is far away. We especially liked how much information about the country and the people we got from Jason (and we really asked a lot of questions) - afterwards we really felt like we got to know Malaysia a lot.

There is no WiFi, but they provide a hot spot which works for emails, etc. With a traveller-SIM card you get basic Internet access.

Im so glad I found this place because it was absolutely amazing in every way. I did the 3 days 2 nights package which included two river cruises and a hike along with the absolutely exceptional culinary delights that Jason cooked up. Jason is the best host I’ve ever come across. He taught us so much about Malaysia and it’s wildlife and cooked beautiful meals. He and his staff work so hard to make your stay is amazing. The rooms are so clean and comfortable. I loved the cruises, where you can spot the animals in the wild and the hike was great too. The property is on top of a hill and you have to climb quite a few stairs to get there but that is all part of the adventure. If your luggage is too big then there’s lockers at the bottom of the stair where you can leave your big luggage and you carry up a smaller bag. This was the highlight of my trip and I would recommend this place anyone. If I were to stay again I would book directly with them.

everything was perfect !!

If you want to experience the Kinabatangan and want to get the best experience stop looking and book here. Jason and his team are one of the best hosts I encountered in over 20 years travelling the world. They made our stay an unforgetable experience and are extremely knowledgable. Food is fantastic as well. The only thing we can say is: Jason keep going delivering the best host experience and all continue protecting our planet so that also your great grandchildren can see the Urang Uthan at Kinabatangan.

Nothing.

If you are up for a unique experience in the Borneo jungle, look no further. This boutique hotel was very Borneo, nestled on top of the hill, accessible only by tackling 600 wooden steps. The place was peaceful, misty in the mornings (as mornings in Borneo rainforest should be), sounds of jungle singing you a lullaby each night. Truely beautiful experience. Our host, Jason is a fascinating person, telling stories of the area and also helping us with itineraries for our remaining trip; on top of that ensuring everyone was looked after and well fed (thank you Jason for accommodating our request for mee goreng breakfast). Our guide for a trek and boat cruise was full of passion for and knowledge of the rainforest and the animals. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and surprisingly, there weren't that many mozzies up that high.

The food was delicious, however, designed primarily for a western customer. Please note that Jason was kind enough to accommodate our request for a more local breakfast.

First of all Jayson’s welcome, niceness and very helpful comments made our trip fantastic. Our guide was really competent and cool. The view is wonderful, the food is excellent. Lastly, I was sick during the stay and Jayson took the utmost care and did everything he could to make my stay as good as possible, even offering drinks! This guy is gold!

Maybe rooms could have AC?

Everything was exceptional, a very unique jungle resort that we will be visiting again for sure.

Everything. The location was amazing. Gert, Jason and all the staff were very knowledge and friendly which made us feel at home the entire stay. Food was incredible and you won't go hungry. If you want something special, I'd recommend booking it without a second thought. Easily one of best trip we've ever done.

Nothing, honestly not even the stair climb at the end of the day 😉
