Offering a garden and mountain view, Bonheur at Karambunai is set in Kota Kinabalu, 80 metres from Karambunai Beach and 29 km from Filipino Market Sabah. This beachfront property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of the outdoor pool or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the sea and pool. Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

Located in Lahad Datu, Myoldhouse features a garden and shared lounge. This homestay provides free private parking and luggage storage space. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool. Probably the best place to spend a night in Lahad Datu as everything was very clean and our host Mr. Teo went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. There are several day tours available, e.g. to Kinabatangan river. We didn’t know otherwise would have probably booked with them. The pool and breakfast were also great and Mr Teo made sure we had good suggestions for the other meals. Great stay overall!
