“This is an off-the-beaten track bed and breakfast. There are no signs and I doubt there are any other tourists in Santubong Village. We walked along the beach (mud flat, really) and through town and seemed to be the star attraction (as obvious tourists).
Once inside the compound, you hear the constant rippling water cascading off of the clear swimming pool. There are hammocks and cozy chairs to spend a lazy day. The staff serves breakfast (including in the room price), plus snacks, lunch, and dinner upon ordering. The food was all very tasty. Order dinner at 5pm (and select your dining time) and as soon as you sit down, it will be delivered to your table.
The rooms are small, but comfortable and clean. The bed is soft (unlike so many in Southeast Asia). The A/C worked and kept us cool.
You could take a taxi up to the Sarawak Cultural Village or hike Santubong Mountain, but otherwise there’s nothing nearby. This is a great place for relaxation.
**Do take a map and their phone number. There are no signs even at the front door and it’s unlikely many taxis from Kuching would know it’s location.
