River Chalet

BEDS
1 king + 1 super single
SLEEPS
3 adults, or 2 adults + 2 children
UNITS AVAILABLE

Our River Chalets sit on a small hill adjacent to the restaurant, nestled amongst the trees and connected to the dining area and river-facing deck by covered wooden walkways. Newly renovated and genuinely spacious, they look out over the Kinabatangan through the canopy.

Who it suits

Every River Chalet has a comfortable king size bed as well as a super single bed, which makes it a flexible room: couples, two friends who would rather not share a bed, a small family, or a solo traveller who wants space to spread out. Our recommended maximum occupancy is 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children. Extra beds are available on request, with a maximum of one extra bed per room.

Room features

  • King size bed and super single bed
  • Private balcony with table and chairs, facing the river
  • Air-conditioning and ceiling fan
  • Private bathroom with Western style toilet and hot water rain shower
  • Hand soap, shampoo, shower gel and towels provided
  • In-room safety deposit box

  • Hairdryer

Make sure to keep an eye on the trees surrounding your room. Hornbills go past at eye level more often than you would expect and orang-utans are known to next within our grounds.

If you need a closer room, please tell our team at the time of booking and we will do our best to place you in one of the rooms nearest the restaurant and reception.
