Sinurambi Bed & Breakfast - Mills Residence

Rose, Terry and their temporary manager, Quentin, were great. Also, the room was great, the food was great, the views were great, the weather was great and so for the 2 weeks we spent here we had a great time. This is a place to go when you want a quiet holiday, it's quite a drive to the town and there's nothing nearby except a few other houses and the National Park. But the National Park is probably why you'll go here and the gate is only a couple of hundred yards away. It's a steep walk up to the look out post and the sub station but worth it for the views. We went primarily to do some birdwatching and surprisingly spent most of our time birdwatching around the grounds of the hotel, rather than in the park itself. The hotel grounds are lovely and well kept by Rose and her helpers, so the birds and other wildlife love the area. Breakfast was excellent, as was the food in the evening, the two ladies who ran the kitchen (unfortunately I can't remember their names!) did a great job. They also cleaned and made sure our room looked nice every day. We stayed in The Otters Room, a big room with a massive set of floor to ceiling windows along one wall giving a wonderful view over Kota Kinabalu and over the grounds themselves. We took many photos of the birds and the sunsets from the room. A great place... Thank you Rose and Terry.

Magical. Wonderful views from the terrace. Lovely pool. Beautiful rooms with all modern cons. Great breakfasts. Super friendly hosts- including an array of dogs and cats. Just 40 minutes from centre if Kota Kinabalu so need car or taxi to reach the property.

We stayed at Otter's House and it has lovely views overlooking KK city. The sunset views were spectacular! The house has everything we needed from food to cutleries to cooking utensils. We ordered a roast chicken meal for one of the dinners and it tasted great! Terry and Rose were wonderful and Rose kindly allowed a later check out due to our late flight. We went on daily walks to the nearby Crocker's Range Park and 8 dogs followed us! Beware that there is a very steep slope leading up to the viewpoint but it's a short hike and the views are worth the effort! Sinurambi is a great place to relax and to admire nature. Hope we have the opportunity to visit it again! Thank you for a memorable stay there!

As a nature lover, definitely you will love this place. I like the view, the pool, the staff and the owner also was very friendly! My daughter said 'im happy mama!' and thats enough to explain everything. Tq Rosy for the Kale and Herbs. Will come again with bigger group!

From the well-appointed and tastefully furnished chalets to the charming main building and lush grounds, not to mention the stunning view of Kota Kinabalu city, Sinurambi is truly a hidden gem offering the ideal escape from city life. We visited in January when travel was just opening up again and had the place to ourselves so it was nice and quiet too.

Review in English below. Deze B&B is een echte vondst! Het was heerlijk om hier te verblijven! De accomodatie bevindt zich in een oase van uitbundig groen en rust, weg van de drukte en het lawaai van Kota Kinabalu. Je hebt er uitzicht op zowel het bos, als op de zee, en zelfs op Mount Kinabalu. Op het terrein staan charmante cottages, rond het hoofdgebouw (het mooie huis van de eigenaars) en een fijn zwembad met prachtig zicht op zee. De kamers zijn gezellig, proper en mooi gedecoreerd. Je voelt je er zo thuis. Er is overal aan gedacht: bloemen op tafel, allerlei toiletartikelen, een haardroger,... Wij hadden de 'Forest View' kamer: een 4-persoons studio met eigen keuken en badkamer. De eigenaars zijn Rose en Terry, een Maleis/Brits koppel. Ze zijn heel vriendelijk, gastvrij en behulpzaam en dat maakte ons verblijf nog aangenamer. Rose regelde een taxi vanuit de luchtaven voor ons. Wij vierden onze 20-jarig huwelijksjubileum en men had slingers boven de tafel gehangen en een dessert gebracht met kaarsjes erop. Heel leuk. Het eten was erg lekker. Het was ook leuk dat Rose lokaal fruit bracht om te proeven. Na het eten bleven we nog een hele tijd praten met Rose en Terry en hun zoon en leerden zo veel over Borneo. Ze hebben een aantal vriendelijke, rustige honden en dat vonden onze dochters heel leuk. Dit is een ideale plek om na een lange vlucht even uit te rusten en gewend te raken aan het tijdsverschil en het klimaat. Er is een nationaal park dichtbij, waar je normaal gezien ook mooi zou moeten kunnen wandelen, maar door een hevige regenbui een paar dagen eerder, waren de paden niet toegankelijk. Wij hebben ons echter genoeg geamuseerd met gezelschapsspelletjes en het zwembad. ENGLISH: A real find! What a treat to stay here! This B&B is located in an oasis of lush green and quiet, away from the noise of KK. It boasts wonderful views, both of the forest and the sea, as well as of mount Kinabalu. Charming cottages are situated around the beautiful main house and pool area. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. They have a homey feel. Everything is thought about: flowers in the room, nice toiletries, a hairdryer,... We had the 'Forest View room' (4 persons studio w/. full kitchen and bath). The owners Rose and Terry are a mixed Malay/British couple. They make you feel right at home and are so friendly and helpful! Rose arranged an airport taxi for us. We celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary - and they decorated our dinnertable for the occasion and brought out dessert with candles. The meals were very good! It was also a nice touch that Rose brought us local fruit to try. After dinner, we sat talking with this lovely couple about Borneo and learned a lot about the culture. The friendly dogs around the property are an added value - our girls loved to pet them. This is a great place to relax and unwind after long flights and to get used to the time difference and the climate. There is a national park nearby (to go take walks), but due to a la
