"Helpful staff - Linda manages it all beautifully. Plenty of food - not gourmet but thats not why we were there. Pleasant rooms and bathrooms. It is out in the wild - and it feels like it. Twice a day small groups were taken out in motor boats down the river Kitabangan for the chance to view a variety of monkeys, orangutans, Borneo elephants. It was a bird watchers papadise. Our driver Tanjong did his best to find us the Borneo 5. What a wonderful 3 days and nights. "
