Top 32 things to do and attractions in Kundasang

Overrated place, charging entrance fee claiming as maintenance fee but not doing any maintenance. It was very obvious this place is lacking maintenance, dirty and everywhere stain of alga or lots of dried leaves. Many photos on google review are old photos, yes, they looked nice but that was many years ago. Now it look totally different and feel like abandoned place, yet they charge entrance fee. There is a small shop there, one of the guy working there has super bad attitude. When asking the direction to toilet he basically stared without answering, but, remember, on top of charging entrance fee they also charge toilet fee. And for the toilet is was super weird that they wrote on the wall asking you to save water DONT FLUSH….. I don’t recommend coming here, for any tourist.

I had no idea this place existed and I found it almost by accident but I'm really glad I did. It tells the tale of the prisoners of war from Sandakan, the death march and of the local heroes who tried to help them along the way. There are different gardens in remembrance of those from Australia, England and the local population as well as good views out to Mount Kinabalu. The cost of entry was 15 ringgit for a non-Malaysian (I think?) but this is definitely worth it. The gardens are very well kept and there is enough information to make it interesting. The Browne Town.

A place of memorial and tribute to all those lost lives during world war 2. Didn't learn this in Sejarah though. Great opportunity to learn about the real history with the existence of this kinda memorial.

For Malaysian you need to pay rm5 for entry. But its a good price to commemorate the fallen soldiers and their sacrifices. It's peaceful. The flowers are tended, the place is clean.

It's very disappointing that this place is not well managed. If I come next year, there will most likely be nothing that has changed. For example, the landscaping of the area, the flowers are not in order, the pool water is dirty, and a lot of RM1 money & coins is thrown in, probably as a token of appreciation to the soldiers. Maybe the management can collect the money for the purpose of repairing the area. Bagi sa lh kn masuk d sini teda yg bikin WAHHH, cuma mmmmm seja🥲

Enjoyed every moment step to historical place which my kids keep asking what it said and why it happen. They took a lot of picture which really enjoy to see them learning it..the garden build if own nostalgic memory within the cabin hang a lot frame that had it story,picture and letter that touch ur ❤️ heart...will visit again

If in the area worthy of a visit. A memorial to celebrate the lives of all those that perished on the death march, separate dedicated gardens for the Australian and British troops, the gardens are a bit run down and need some TLC, still worth the time to visit.

TIP: Buy tickets online before you arrive (MYR 5.00 only for a Malaysian adult). The website is a bit of a pain really, as you need to register for an account AND verify your email, before you can book and pay for the tickets. Extremely inconvenient as you’d probably only come here one time so there is actually no need to “register” for an account. They should allow visitors to just register as a “guest” as many other ticketing website now allows. Once you have successfully managed to book and pay for your tickets online, you only need to show the booking to the attendant at the entrance to the farm, then drive up to the many parking spots available around the area. Come here early morning around 8:00am as this will give you the best chance to take photos with a clear view of Kinabalu in the background (and avoid the crowd). After 10:00am clouds usually move in and obscure the peak. There are many good places for this, around the compound. The gelato and yoghurt are a must-try, don’t miss them. They’re worth the (usually) long queues.

Visited Desa Dairy Farm recently — the highlight is definitely the stunning landscape. With Mount Kinabalu in the background, a cool, breezy wind, and wide green fields, it really feels like a slice of Europe right here in Sabah. The scenery alone makes it worth seeing at least once. It’s basically a dairy farm with a small park area, great for photos and to let kids see the cows up close. Their dairy products are nice but quite expensive compared to normal retail prices. Be prepared for crowds — the place is very packed, especially on weekends. Parking is always full, so you’ll likely need to park outside and walk quite a distance, which isn’t very suitable for older visitors. All in all, it’s worth visiting once for the view and the experience — but once is probably enoug

Nice dairy cow farm with majestic mountain view. However, mountain is not visible during rainy weather. Ice cream was fabulous. Rich and creamy. Buy tickets online beforehand to book your slots.

It's a so-so kind of experience. Had to pay before entering the property, in your car. If you want the picture with the white fence in overlooking the cow's grazing field, you should do it at the left side of the main entrance, before you enter the property. I didn't see any area similar to this inside the property. The place is huge with a number of things to do such as feeding the calves and goats with no additional charges; but you do have to purchase the grass and milk at a designated counter for RM2 each. There is also the barn where you can go and see the adult cows. Around the area were a lot of flowers, so a photo opt. They sell their products such as "ice cream" or they call it gelato (to me it was not an ice cream nor a gelato, it's more like a frozen yoghurt because the texture and taste were a bit sour like yoghurt. I don't know for other flavours but the original one was definitely a frozen yoghurt). They also sell pizza, sausages, nuggets, fries, milk cartons and yoghurts. They have several stations selling their goods such as the main building, tents outside the main building and a cafe a bit further up the parking area. Just keep an eye out for them and avoid the very long queue at the main building just to buy them. If you go in the morning maybe it'll be a bit cold but we arrived almost at noon so the wheather was just nice. Not too cold. I think that's about it. Overall was just okay. I just think that they should clarify clearly that the ice cream is frozen yoghurt in essence. I had my hope up for a creamy and delicious ice cream. I was very much bummed 😔

This place is over rated by the social media. Nothing much to see actually as all the cows grazing are much too far away to have a close up photo taking. Not many of them though. Those in the barn are just lazing around in a confinement area. The only reason that tourist are flocking in maybe because of the ideal location for photo taking of the kinabalu mountain as background. You will be fortunate to have the view if the clouds are not hovering on top of the mountain peak. The ice cream sold here are nice but at premium price. Anyway its a one time visit only for me. Will not be going back here if Im in Kundasang again.

can pay online ticket. Rm5 for adult n kids free. great place for scenery. parking bit far need to walk down.

Nice view and chilling atmosphere. Just need to improve seats and foods availability in the restaurant. It would be great if more benches are available around the premise so elderly could rest on it while enjoying the scenery.

Sosodikan Hill is an excellent location for a spectacular view of Mt.Kinabalu and Kundasang. A short climbing height of around 65(?)m and 12mins effort would bring you to a height of 1465m above sea level. The platform constructed at the peak of the hill allow for a safe viewing spot. You would not be disappointed. This short trek and the well maintained trail makes it suitable for families to attempt. There is a small fee for the climb and there are parking for your car nearby.

Short climb up in the heat but the view to the left was very nice. To the right more agreculture. Nice flowers and butterflies and the swallows that flew over. Maybe the platform etc to collerfull. It does not comply with nature. But for RM 10 oke

The walk up to the hill is much more gradual than the Pyramid hill. Its better for the less fit tourist. Nice view of the kinabalu mountain from the peak of this hill. Its a nice location for good photo taking. Place is kept clean. However parking space is limited. The souvenir sold here are nice. I like this hill view.

Here’s a refined version of your review: Sosodikap Hill, Kundasang – Review Sosodikap Hill in Kundasang is a great spot to visit after completing the Mount Kinabalu hike. It’s a simple hill, but the view is absolutely stunning offering an amazing sight of Mount Kinabalu and the surrounding nature. I truly loved the scenery and the peaceful atmosphere. A beautiful place worth stopping by!

A breathtaking hidden gem in Kundasang! 🌄 Sosodikon Hill offers one of the most stunning panoramic views of Mount Kinabalu. The short hike to the top is quite easy and suitable even for beginners or families. Once you reach the peak, the scenery is absolutely worth it — rolling hills, cool mountain breeze, and a perfect view for sunrise or sunset photos. There’s also a small stall near the parking area where you can buy local snacks and drinks. The trail is well maintained, and the locals are very friendly. If you’re visiting Kundasang, Sosodikon Hill is a must-visit spot for nature lovers, hikers, or anyone who wants to enjoy peaceful mountain vibes away from the crowd. 📸 Tip: Come early in the morning for the best light and fewer people.

You need to come here before 7am to get the best view! We came here at 7am and the gunung kinabalu still visible without any cloud. Can get the full view of gunung kinabalu. Price is rm5 per entry. There will be dogs follow you around, might be their tour guide. But the dog is good dont worry. Gotta hike for 600m maybe till you reach the top. Quite tired if you’re not fit enough :p

Tips to someone who rarely go hiking, bring your water with you! The hike is not long but still being hydrated would be beneficial for you. The view is MESMERIZING.

Good place to have a breathtaking viewing scenery

...the unplaned plan....this is sabah...

Very nice farm. Must wear jacket here because too cold

This is super nice farm that can view clearly the Mountains view.

4th time coming and still like it here. Must visit place regardless!! Try their chocolate ice-cream, the milk and the yogurt sponge cake.

Most visit again and the view with wind i very love it..

Nice view... "Nature is pleased with simplicity. And nature is no dummy."- Isaac Newton

Kundasang Market is a vibrant spot offering a wide variety of local products, from fresh produce to unique handmade goods. It's a great place to explore and experience the local culture. The variety and quality of items make it worth a visit, especially for those looking to bring home something special. While there’s room for improvement in organization and cleanliness, it’s still a must-visit destination in Kundasang.

Typical tourist spot, like cameron highland 15 years ago. Not everything sold here are local, some are products from different places including import goods. Not everything sold here are good, and the price is really some ok some super expensive.

Outdoor market with plenty of stalls selling fruits, vegetables, local snacks/food, succulents, and flowers. Warm sellers. Bargaining is acceptable.

such a lovely palce BUT the parking lot is full of holes and in very bad state. MD RANAU. JKR failed.

I really2 loved this market. So many fruits, vege, kerupuk2, plants, flowers. You know what I buy a long cinnamon here. All the seller here is soo friendly. I stay nearby here, everyday I buy fruits and ask the makcik cut for me the watermelon, the soursoup. Limau bali, Limau Madu, rambutan, bambangan, semua lah buah manisss. I've learnt so many new fruits and vege also and I just know about 'tuhau'. I will come here again. So when u come to kundasang please come here. The honey here also bessst... The seller will explain to you honestly and kindly. I miss already here...

At an elevation of almost 1,900m , Kundasang is the highest settlement in Malaysia, and among other things, it’s renowned for its fruit and vegetable market……..so a great spot to stock up on some amazing tropical fruit snacks. I’m also quite sure it’s the only place I’ll ever see giant cabbage statues adorning the roundabouts. Don't forget to snap photo and enjoy the fresh fruit and vegetables because it is really cheap.

Local and imported fruits and vegetables. Very expensive fruits. Traders out for quick tourists money. Buy the local native friurs only, not east easily found outside of Sabah.

My visit to the Alpaca Club was pure joy! These creatures are as graceful and quirky as they look in pictures. Feeding them was a blast, they were gentle and their soft, curious noses were so cute. Some were playful, others were peacefully grazing, and all were incredibly photogenic. A uniquely delightful experience that left me smiling for hours. A must-visit for animal lovers!

Alpaca Club in Kundasang is such a hidden gem! The alpacas are friendly and well cared for, and the cool highland weather makes the visit even more enjoyable. Perfect for families and animal lovers. You can pet and feed the alpacas, and take lots of cute photos. The staff are kind and helpful, and the whole place is clean and well-managed. Definitely worth a stop if you’re visiting Kundasang!

Nice decent experience. Entry RM20/adult for local. RM3 per bowl for feeding. Petting allowed on the head and neck only. Apparently they spit and bite. Boy i would’ve paid to see that.

The Alpaca Club, located on Jalan Cinta Mata in Kampung Mesilou, is home to alpacas that originate from South America. Often mistaken for llamas, alpacas are a distinct species despite belonging to the same lamoid family. To differentiate, alpacas are generally smaller in size compared to llamas. The Alpaca Club is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., with designated visiting slots to avoid overcrowding. Each visit lasts 20 minutes, during which guests receive information about the alpacas, interact with them by touching and feeding, and take photos as souvenirs. Entrance: 20RM including taking photos with the alpacas. The rabbits look like they’re in a sad state because some of them have abscess not sure because they fight or that they are kept in unhygienic conditions. They have clear rules about touching and feeding the alpacas, to ensure the safety of the visitors.

The alpaca is adorable and affectionate with the caretakers. Many people wonder why the prices are high, one of the reason is because the food must be imported. Nonetheless it's fantastic experience for both adults and kids.

A fun and fluffy stop hehe. One of the highlights of my trip. There were quite a number of alpacas and you get to touch them up close, super cute! Can feed them too for RM3 per bowl. Entry is RM20 per person and you get 30 mins with the alpacas + 10 mins with the rabbits. The place isn’t that big, so it made for a quick and easy stop. Plenty of parking available too. Honestly, not many people are giving this place the love it deserves compared to the cow farm, but really, both are equally fun. Just different vibes. This one’s totally worth a quick visit.

Great experience. Its better than desa farm. Small and quite nice to up close alpaca and rabbit. And please be sure to follow the staff guide advice. Do not shout or stay behind alpaca.

Good view

(Translated by Google) An weekend escape to the beautiful mountains here is the best. I drove to “Ranau” for a day trip. I arrived at the famous tea town and I was surrounded by a simple and nature filled town. Ranau is famous for it’s highland vegetables and aromatic local tea brand unlike any other. Then I passed the Kundasang market on the return trip and bought local durians for a taste. They tasted pretty good. I also bought some rambutan and mangostens. Since the rainy season is approaching, it is extremely difficult to see the beautiful appearance of the sacred mountain, unless the goddess of luck takes care of it. This time we also passed the famous Temborali Bridge. On the weekend, we drove to "Ranao" for a day trip. We easily arrived at the famous tea town all the way. We circled the simple and natural town and then returned through the Kundasang market. We bought local durians and tried them. They tasted pretty good. We also bought some rambutans and mangosteens. Since the rainy season is approaching, it is extremely difficult to see the beautiful appearance of the sacred mountain, unless the goddess of luck takes care of it. This time we also passed the famous Jambatan Tamparuli Bridge. (Original) An weekend escape to the beautiful mountains here is the best. I drove to "Ranau" for a day trip.

Great mountain for natural reserved views. There’s many activities available such as ATV/ paragliding. Can consider to join a tour if don’t want to drive up. Paragliding waited for 3 hours which not that efficient. Play time was for only 4 minutes. Weather changes fast so must check make sure the weather is good before heading there. ATV is true jungle like. Huge and fun. Mountain view is great with cloud in the middle of the mountain

Tired but worth. Epic view from the highest mountain in Malaysia and made every step to the top became valuable. Come at least once before you still able to make it❤️

My greatest achievement in life has been to conquer a mountain peak. It brings real satisfaction at my age of 52 years old. It was quite challenging, but the scenery made all the effort feel worthwhile. I highly recommend this experience to all Malaysians.

Mount Kinabalu is truly one of the most stunning places on Earth. The views at every stage of the climb are breathtaking, from lush tropical rainforest at the base to the granite peaks near the summit. It’s no wonder this is the highest mountain in Southeast Asia — standing at 4,095 meters, it feels like you’re on top of the world. The 2 days, 1 night hike is challenging but absolutely worth it. Most climbers start on day one from Timpohon Gate, trekking for about 5 to 7 hours to reach Laban Rata, where everyone stays overnight. The trail can be tough — lots of stairs, steep inclines, and changing terrain — but the cool air and scenic forest make it enjoyable. The accommodations at Laban Rata are simple but comfortable enough to recharge for the big summit push. The second day starts very early, usually around 2 am, for the summit climb. It’s dark, cold, and steep, but reaching Low’s Peak just before sunrise is an unforgettable experience. Watching the first rays of light break over the horizon and illuminate the clouds below makes all the effort worthwhile. The sense of achievement is unmatched — standing there, knowing you’ve reached the highest point in all of Southeast Asia, is beyond words. If you’re planning to go, train beforehand and take it slow on the climb. Every step is worth it once you see those incredible mountain views. Mount Kinabalu isn’t just a hike; it’s a life experience you’ll never forget.

The peak of kinabalu is amazing. It's worth seeing, even if you don't plan on going to the top (the entrance is outrageously expensive). You have to plan your visit to this place well, because it's quite difficult to get there by public transport, we chose an organized tour (it cost quite a lot - I have doubts whether the attractions vs. the price were worth it). Probably a much better way is to rent a car, then you have no restrictions and you can organize the trip according to your needs. Regardless, I recommend seeing this mountain. Near the top there are other attractions such as a fish spa, canopy walk, and you can also see the largest flower in the world, the rafflesia. Everyone will find attractions here that are just right for them.

1. Start at 9 am on 28.08.2025. 2. Took 3.15 hours to reach Pondok Layang-Layang. 3. Wind begins to start very strong and with rain. 4. Had quick lunch and with rain coat starts walking again. 5. Strong wind and rain all the way to Panabalan. 6. Temperature was cold, 8 Celsius. 7. Time for dinner and rest. 8. Got up and ready for supper at 2am. 9. Ready for summit attack. 10. Officer came to announce that summit is closed due to strong wind. 11. It was a great experience and given another chance, would like to make it to Summit.

I self organised my own climb and it was significantly cheaper than using some of the extortionate tour packages. It's a bit harder to organise as there is not a ton of clear info and fully up to date websites on how to do it, but it's possible to figure it out if your fine with the added hassle. I booked 8 months in advance and got the 2nd to last spot for my trip date. At the time of posting I paid maybe 900myr to self organise, including all relevant permits, transport to and from Mt. Kinabalu from KK, 1 night accomodation prior to the climb and guide fees etc. other tours for the same offering are going for like 2400+ to 2600+. You need to book early though to secure your panalaban hostel accommodation!! The claim up is about 4km of mainly stairs. The trail is pretty well maintained but it's still a tough climb up, going from hot and humid jungle gradually up to more rocky terrain for the final 2km to the camp. Camp is cold and super windy so bring lots of layers to keep you warm. It can get tough sleeping at night without warm sleepwear. The final ascent starts at 2.30am to get you to the summit. If your fast, you get to see a beautiful sunrise after scrambling up mainly flat rockfaces with assistance ropes. The wind and cold make this a tough one, and so does the altitude. The views are great but the peak can be busy. Descending does wonders in your knees. I didn't take poles and highly recommend using them if you go to save some aches and pains later. Overall it was a good challenge and a rewarding climb. The only thing I dislike is that the prices, especially for international visitors are so high. They have risen much higher than inflation due to the monopoly that a few tour companies seem to hold over the limited daily climb permits. You can check historic reviews from a few years ago to see the price gouging going on.

Beautiful scenery all over, bring a rain coat and binoculars. 50 RM conservancy fee to be paid at entrance

Was lucky to spot a flying squirrel, whitehead trogon among many treks available in the national park. Best place to stay and hike and amazing food just outside the entrance :)

Well organised and well maintained park administration. Calm and a scenic hiking trails. Easy to do without any guide. Those who want to be out of city life and be close to nature, this will be a good option. We took the longest route and it was a good exercise thou😁

You can park inside the park. Just pay 5 RM at the gate together with the park fee (RM 50 per adult, 25 per child). No need to book in advance. Cash only. Inside, there are many trails. We parked at the restaurant and hiked 3 different trails. It is very nice but a bit tricky to find the entrances. Once on the path, it is beautiful.

Well preserved for future generations.

Fantastic park with a relatively low cost entrance fee that allows you to take in a lot of the most beautiful natural beauty in KK. A mix of short/long, easy/difficult trails allows you to self-select and plan a route that gives you the greatest experience for the time allotted for your trip.

Beautiful and well maintained park, always busy in the morning full of climbers registration for climbing Mount Kinabalu. But, after that will be pretty quiet. Can see the summit clearly from here in the morning.

We drove about 2+ hours to get there but left disappointed after barely 10 minutes because there was nothing much to do and see in this farm. The farm is as big as a backyard and you can barely see any strawberries. There is a little cafe with a few strawberry tarts and cakes. Manage your expectations.

Not much to see and do, even if you come for picture taking would barely make it worthwhile. It’s a very small compound consisting of a strawberry farm (to say it’s a farm is an overstatement, a small cafe and a souvenir shop - all of which is very abysmal. What more after I pay RM 3 for parking. The strawberry pie is a standout however and must try!

don’t waste your time to come here, really nothing much to see and they still charge 5RM for the entrance fee. The strawberries were not in season so there’s nothing to pluck. We bought a punnet of strawberries (18RM) and it’s not even that sweet. Felt that it’s overpriced. They also have some pop up stalls selling strawberry dipped in chocolate and other souvenirs. Nothing much to do here.

Mesilou Highland Strawberry Farm 🍓 turned out just as I hoped . a nice escape to sit back and breathe in the cool air. Even when the crowd slowly came in, the calm atmosphere stayed the same. Sitting upstairs felt relaxing, with a simple view that matched the mood. The cake and chocolate strawberries were delightful, especially for true strawberry lovers. But what stood out most for me was the strawberry matcha!perfectly balanced, refreshing, and something I’d come back for again. A place that doesn’t try too hard, yet leaves you satisfied in the simplest way ❤️

A modest strawberry farm. The entry fee is RM3. Strawberries were there but scarce, so there wasn't much to do or see. There's a small coffee shop selling 🍓focused desserts/ pastries/ drinks.

1. No strawberries top pluck. 2. Cafe cake is too sweet, and full of colouring, not my type of food, even my kids not ok with it. The coffee is instant coffee. Very disappointed. 3. The view is good. 4. The strawberry drink is too sweet.

A popular stopover after visiting the Desa Farm in Kundasang. Entrance road to this farm is not well maintained. Reasonable entrance fee of RM3 per pax. The place is not big and there are not many spots you can visit. Most visitors stop by for desserts that made of strawberries.

It is a nice short hike to a view point (40mins at a good pace) - it is a really good view for sunrise but was busy -70ppl on a few raised platforms. It is privately operated so you have to register in the town 25 MYR and 100MYR for a guide (can be shared). I followed an offline map and didn’t realise this as there was no signage - in the end they tried to fine me for trespassing (starting at 150-100MYR) and locked up my bike. Eventually they let agreed to let me go to the registration centre to discuss with the manager (a really nice guy who let me explain the situation and let me pay the entrance fee and continue on my way). Bit disappointed the guards were so hostile and asking for a fine that they were clearly going to pocket but technically I was in the wrong and the company did end up coming to a fair outcome. As much as I don’t enjoy guided walks when you don’t need a guide this wasn’t worth the ball break to resolve the issue.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Best. You all should come hiking here… beautiful view, fresh air, comfortable and cool atmosphere. The sunrise view is really cool, being close to Mount Kinabalu is really solid hiking experience. Climbed at 3 am, reached the peak at 5 am. It's really good because the trail is not very extreme, even I who rarely hikes can climb steadily even though I rarely exercise. The guide is also good, friendly, sporty, and really takes care of us throughout our climb and descent (Original) Terbaik. You all patut datang hiking sini… view cantik, udara segar, suasana nyaman dan sejuk. View sunrise dia memang lawa, dekat dengan Gunung Kinabalu lagi memang padu lah experience hiking dia. Naik pukul 3 lebih pagi, sampai puncak dalam jam 5 pagi. Memang best sebab trail dia tak extreme sangat, sy yang jarang hiking pun steady ja naik walaupun jarang exercise. Guide pun bagus juga, peramah, sporting, dan betul2 jaga kita sepanjang kita naik dan turun

(Translated by Google) The best memories I have ever made (Original) Kenangan terindah yang pernah saya lakukan

The hotel is beautiful, the was quite small for us three, food was ok can be improve. But the scenery is superb. Quick note to everyone who want to stay in this hotel. Its quite far in from Kundasang and if you guys rented a car, please get a Pick-up truck or SUV. The roads are pretty bad. We kind a regret drove Bezza.

Stayed here with family on March 2025, when my brother in law came to visit. The road leading to the lodging is quite bumpy and goes far into the interior, so do expect a bit of a rough drive. Getting a clear view of Mount Kinabalu is entirely up to luck the weather plays a big role. If it rained the day before, the chances of seeing the mountain are low due to mist or clouds. The farmstay is located in Bundutuhan, which is slightly farther from the actual base of Mount Kinabalu. The surrounding area is spacious and green, but can get muddy during rainy days. There are basic cooking and BBQ facilities available outdoor. No kitchen available indoor or in the room. The room itself is nothing fancy, but comfortable enough for a simple overnight stay. This place is quite popular on Xiao Hong Shu, so it can get crowded during peak seasons. There’s also an on-site restaurant with a simple menu, the food was okay, but nothing memorable. Room rates are budget friendly, and they also offer camping options around the area. The staff were polite but not particularly proactive or helpful, don’t expect much assistance, and it's quite hard to locate them at the reception if you need anything. One thing to note is you’ll need to remove your shoes before entering the main building. If your room is on the upper floor, you’ll be walking barefoot or in socks upstairs. Overall, it was just an okay experience not bad, but nothing memorable either.

The scenery is breathtaking! It's a bit chilly up here, so prepare your sweaters and jackets. It was pori g rain when we're here, so before going, you might want to check the weather

Stayed for a night here. Honestly, nothing much to highlight about the accommodation itself — it was really just the view of Mount Kinabalu that stood out (though, to be fair, many other places in the area also offer that view). Check-in was fine. If the receptionist isn’t around, you’ll need to call the number on the counter card, or wait until a passing staff member to inform the receptionist of your presence. The room was reasonably clean, but in my opinion, not worth the price compared to other nearby options. The toilet looks better than the room itself. To make matters worse, there was a power outage from about 11 pm until 4 am. Luckily, it rained throughout the night, otherwise the room would have been unbearably stuffy. Oddly enough, the spotlight outside our room was still working during the outage 🤔. Breakfast was included, but quite disappointing. Understandably, ingredients may be harder to source in this area, but the spread was so uninspiring that I didn’t even feel like taking photos. Service was another letdown. The three staff on duty at the canteen (two ladies, one gentleman) were unfriendly, almost as if we were inconveniencing them. An elderly lady even wrongly accused me of not handing over my breakfast voucher, despite the fact I’d been eating for over 30 minutes by then. Thankfully, her colleague corrected her, but the interaction left a sour taste. The food itself wasn’t appetising, though I still ate a little out of my “Asian mindset” — wanting to at least get some value for what I paid. Overall, while I do plan to return to Kundasang in the future, this accommodation won’t be on my list again. Side note: If you’re driving a rental car, please take extra care on the way here. The road conditions are terrible, with multiple metal rods sticking out — a real risk for puncturing your tyres.

Best view ever facing Mount Kinabalu from directly my room, well maintained garden and compound, reasonable price, staff are good, room is clean and maintained well. Breakfast is good, they refilled the food to make sure all have taken hearty breakfast. Saw few giving bad comments on staff friendliness, food quality, I believe these ppl are rude and over demand.

overall a pretty decent budget accommodation boasting excellent views. booked the dormitory to stay and contacted them through whatsapp (they were very responsive and quick with my questions 👍) it is pretty far from everything (minimally 30min drive from the main road to the accoms), but i would say its very worth the rocky and hilly 30min drive in, given the amazing views. love the late check in (latest 9pm) as it is really accommodating and check-in was quick and fuss free. RM60/night for a single bed in the dorms, with a shared toilet next to the dorms. it’s an open air toilet so do expect many bugs around. there are hangers in the showers to hang your clothes, not bad! the dorms were generally clean although the insect nets covering the doors are broken so bugs do find their way in (prepare insect repellent!!) there’s a cafe located in the accoms (opening hours are 7am-11am and 5pm-9pm) with 7am-930am being buffet breakfast. food cooked by the chef was good and menu items were affordable and delicious. there’s tables and chairs and a patio around the accoms, very vibes to chill and enjoy a meal! cons: - only 2 plugs located in one corner of the room, so best to bring an extension cord so there’s sufficient plugs for everyone - broken insect netting in the rooms means insects find their way in - no toilet paper, bring your own - room has no fan or anything, ventilation pretty poor if room was packed but during my 4 night stay i was alone so wasn’t that bad - very far out from the main road, no facilities nearby (outside food etc. are minimally 30min away but there’s a cafe in the accoms so you’ll be able to find food) overall, a very pleasant 4 night stay with friendly staff. will be back!

Good place for short trip ~ Pros : Affordable and clean Very nice view which can see Mount Kota Kinabalu There are 3 cats here which can play with during night time There is a cafe open 5-9pm Breakfast provided for 2 person per room and if you are having a quad room (4persons) have to add on 2 more person RM 20 each Cons: Road conditions is quite poor which is very challenging, might need to be more careful Nothing much can do during night time

The place is beautiful. However the road there is quite bumpy and narrow. But the staffs is willing to assist and they're friendly. You have to walk a little bit more to reach the place. You can rent a kimono there and take pictures with your friends and family. However, there's entry fee and it comes with free drinks. Beautiful scenery.

From here, u can see the view of Mount Gunung Kinabalu summit. Its quite pretty. Japanese concept. You can take a picture wear the Japanese attire with RM29 fee per person. Entrance fee is RM10 for adult and RM5 for child. Got free drink for each person. There is Japan food here too. But, the parking inside is limited. You need to park at the hill and going down to the premise. After finish exploring the view and taking picture, u need to hike again the hill going to the parking. 😆 Quite tired and a little bit exercise by hiking.

The road to reach here is quite challenging almost like an off-road experience, with some very deep holes along the way. But once you arrive, the place is really unique compared to others, with a beautiful Japanese theme that makes it stand out. My mom also rented a kimono here, and the price was reasonable and it really added to the whole Japanese vibe and made our visit even more special. 👘 It would be even better if the access road could be improved, as this would make the journey safer and more comfortable for visitors. I believe more people would love to come if the road conditions were upgraded. Overall, it’s a special and memorable spot. definitely worth the effort to experience something different in Kundasang!

The view was really everything! Do book on the highest floor as the view from there is much better than the second floor. Some disclaimers is that the amenities aren’t great for cooking as there are limited plates and fridge space etc but they do provide bbq pit and have pretty affordable room service. The noise isolation between levels is also not great for light sleepers although i’m a deep sleeper so there was no problem for me but my downstairs neighbours did come up in the middle of the night to ask us to keep it down. The drive to this location is quite challenging, as many parts are uphill, single lane only, and very very steep so definitely do manage your expectations. The staff here however are the sweetest and very accommodating and the view from the rooms really do make up for all the other short comings :)

Beautiful Japanese based place to explore. Can book kimono for rm45. So beautiful but, the journey there soo bad, rip my car. Please improve the roads 😞

We had a really amazing time here with the Japanese kimono experience. The whole place was well taken care of and truly outstanding. Also, shoutout to Hana for being so kind and helpful!

Stayed here for 1 day and the view is lovely. It is Japanese theme homestay. And have a cafe, a yukata studio for you to wear and take pictures (If I’m not mistaken, those who stay there get to wear the yukata for free and those who didnt have to rent - Please check with the host first for confirmation). They have many photospots and to those who love to get their pictures taken, this is a great place! And the view is mesmerizing. The room is also clean and well equipped with necessary utensils. And oh! There were two LOVELY cats soo cute ❤️ But the downside is the road, the road is narrow and only one car can go in or exit. So if there is a car coming in and you want to exit - one of you have to wait. There is also a big road loophole/pithole, we are lucky cause we are using a big car. But if you car is anything but a big one, please do check with the videos shared by others on socmed so you can double check. Everything was perfect except for the road. So if I was asked will we come back here again? Yes ❤️

It was raining when we came so we didn’t get to interact with all the animals like the tortoises and the ducks. But we did get to meet the many fluffy bunnies and it was nice that they let us pet and carry them. Its a pity that the cat mania was not open, would have loved to meet some local cats.

Many of the rabbits looked like they were sick. However, it was still quite enjoyable as there were other animals too, not just rabbits

Not easily accessible but IMO it's worth the bumpy ride. You can pet the goats sheeps turtles. There's one goat quite aggressive he has his own pen. Kids still have fun tho. I wish this place has continued success

Arnab Village is a small but charming spot nestled deep in a rural area, so getting there can be a bit tricky due to the narrow, bumpy roads. There’s an entrance fee, but it’s worth it for a fun family outing. During our visit, the rabbits were kept in cages, but we could still feed and play with them, even take them out — which was a fun experience! Food for animals is available to purchase. The goats and sheep roaming freely were hilarious — some even tried to nibble on our clothes, clearly hungry and cheeky! 🐐😂 Chickens with unique “hairstyles” wandered around too, along with tortoises and geese. There are some cute, Instagrammable spots especially for kids. It was a very hot day when we went, and there wasn’t much shade, so do bring water, sunscreen, and maybe a portable fan. Overall, a great time — the kids loved it! Hope the place continues to be well-maintained.

Happy place, charming fairy-tale mushrooms and decoration. The turtles were great - they were curious and friendly. The chickens and sheep are cool and we love the friendly and mischievous goat! The goat and turtles are the best!! The bunnies had small cages :( so come for the turtles and the goat :)

Rabbits, chicken, goose and turtle paradise. Animals had plenty roaming (and also pooping) space. Everything OK just that you need to endure the Snow White music being played.

Just visited this place today. The place was nice but it is not well-maintained now. The most devastating thing to see is how unwell the rabbits were. Most of them were sick and should be quarantined, but they were placed in the same captivity even though it’s the different cages. There was a dead one lying in the cage, and a few others were timid and unresponsive. There were some younger hopeful ones which should be treated way better, not placed among the sick. It was a sad experience as the rabbits, which the place got it’s name from, should be well taken care off. Really hope that proper actions could be taken. Other animals like the tortoise, chickens and sheeps were in better health.

We went to Hooga Cafe on two separate occasions. The first time was for lunch time, and the other is for breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful in the decision-making of food orders for first timers. The decoration and ambiance is really nice,offering a chill indoor setting, as well as vibrant outdoor setting. They offer local, western food so the menu is extensive.

Visited this road side restaurant during our visit to Desa Farm, the taste of the food is decent at best. However, the portion of the food is larger than expected for the price. The restaurant also has an indoor garden and kiddie park which only kids are allowed to play😔😔, good for photos though.

Nice restaurant. The ambience there was great. Got many food options and also an ice cream truck available in front of the restaurant. The food quite good but a little pricey. Never thought that iced latte would be rm16 hahah. And also its halal

A excellent location for a meal. Hooga premise design is evocative. With a funfair like front entrance, rustic flair dining area with hint of industrial, cement floor and rectangular steel frame seats, to vineyard veranda backyard dining space. Plenty of instagrammable shots for even the picky ones. Had my breakfast here. The nasi lemak was oddly square but taste good. The paratha was alright, curry gravy slightly oily but not bad. I did enjoy the latte as well.. The premise was reasonably clean and service prompt. Worth dropping by.

the place is really pretty and comfortable. the food arrived fast, the service is good enough 👍🏼 the girl that served us was nice and polite too. the chicken burger was okay, but the fries was too salty. chicken chop was a bit dry. sweet sour fish with rice is okay. we were disappointed with thai chicken with rice bc the chicken was dry, and the chicken portion was not enough considering the price, especially since it was thinly sliced. but overall, our experience with this cafe was good.

Ambience is great and comfortable. Food is average but I am pleased that it is on the healthier side. A good place to chill and relax after visiting the Diary Farm nearby.

Place was nice and aesthetic. But, the food not that good. Creamy butter chicken with rice, the chicken was precooked and they just pour the sauce afterwards. Same with the bolognese chicken. Spaghetti was precooked and not fresh. Wedges taste like frozen food.

Best place for coffee I found in Kundasang if you're a digital nomad, this is a good place to work from with the laptop. But stick to coffee, avoid the food. They have power outlet plugs, two AC per bus. The Latte is a bit too expensive (RM12) for its average quality (only one shot, beans quality is average), and so is the food. The service is fast. The fries with the burger arrived cold and undercooked, the patty of the burger was bad quality and I would have appreciated the bread to be toasted. The soup with the bread was good. The garlic soy chicken with rice had a lot of fat on the meat, tasted so-so and even the rice was not good. I don't like to waste food, but we couldn't finish the plates because of the poor quality sadly. The concept of being on a bus is cool, you're protected from the rain and that's what you pay more for coming here. I was put off at first because they ask you to pay RM5 to enter, but then you get them back by ordering coffee or food, so that's okay. Just an unnecessary paperwork ticket in my opinion, but I think I understand they have to do this otherwise people might come to hangout and use the facilities without paying. Overall, I'll come back for coffee and work from the place, but I'll probably avoid the food next time unless I see improvements

A wonderful experience in this bus restaurant which I have never encountered in other parts of Malaysia. This place is cleverly designed as the owner used 4 retro school buses to set up the restaurant and the staff will pass you the bus number upon ordering the food. My friend and I ordered some chicken wings and rice (I have forgotten to take pictures of) and I must admit they taste amazing! Overall a great hang out place for family or group outing

Brought family for brunch here, overall experience is great. Food is nice, drinks ok. Great environment/service

Nice atmosphere especially you are with kids. A meal in bus. Entry fee MYR 5 per person and can use to offset the food. Foods and drinks has room to improve, Food portion just nice at average higher price but affordable.

Come cross with interesting eatery on side road while otw to ranau bring interest experience to a unique style of restaurant. They got RM 5 for entrance fee per person but it will deduct on your meal purchase. They serve mostly western foods and limited choice. The price is around RM 19++ while the drink cost RM 9++. You also can order plain water for your preference. The table seat is in the bus or on ground floor small cafeteria inside. I think each table can fit to 3-4 people. As the food. I ordered spaghetti beef carbonara. It's creamy, flavorful and the portion is okay. Enough for me who not eat too much.

Enjoyed dining here. Good food and service. A new dining experience for me and my family.

I like the concept of using buses as restaurant. It was a new experience for me. The food were tasty, price wise I'd say affordable. Service by the staffs were good too. Parking was easy, there was a staff who helped to guide customers to park.

We visited Kinabalu Park as part of a guided day tour, and our primary focus was the Botanical Garden within the vast and picturesque park. Though our tour covered the entry fees — RM 50 for foreign visitors to the park and RM 5 for the Botanical Garden. We felt the visit was worthwhile as a brief stop amidst other local attractions. While the garden showcases a variety of flora, our experience would have been better had there been more orchids and any Rafflesia in bloom. If you're primarily interested in wildlife, be advised that animal sightings were limited to the occasional squirrel, lizard, and butterflies. The garden does offer a chance to appreciate the delicate beauty of a damp forest environment. We did not hike Mount Kinabalu, which wasn’t part of our itinerary, thus our exploration was restricted to the paths. We spent around 30 minutes wandering through the garden before moving on. Overall, while it may not warrant a dedicated trip, it serves as a pleasant interlude in a day filled with other local sights.

People will see different value in the botanical gardens depending on their level of interest in plants and whether or not they have a guide to explain things to them or not. This was an additional fee to the national park entry however from memory this was a very low fee. I came here by myself unguided and to me, the main appeal was just the photography. I got lucky in that there was a low hanging mist and fog through the gardens which made for some cool photos. However I think you would get more value from this if you did it with a guide who could point out the different types of plants to you. The Browne Town.

Easy to walk for senior citizen. Got entrance fee RM5 for international. Lots of amazing things to learn. Take around 30 minutes+- tour inside.

Suitable for those who wanted to see a magnificient flora and fauna. You can enjoy the view of nature and good for peace and healing vibes.

The BG is in the national park so there's a entrance fee and another fee to enter the botanical garden! We found the botanical garden average nothing impressive.

Lovely place to visit to see natural forest plants. Great walking tracks around the park.

Located within the Kinabalu Park, and known for its rich biodiversity and well-maintained trails. You can choose to explore it on your own or hire an optional guide to enhance your experience with detailed insights into the unique flora, including rare orchids and pitcher plants. The trek takes approximately 15 to 45 minutes, depending on your pace and curiosity. With easy-to-navigate paths and scenic surroundings, it’s an excellent spot for a peaceful stroll amidst nature.

It’s an inexpensive hotel. The location is great - 5mins walk to the town centre. The rooms are nice but in need of maintenance. In Rm 508, Bidet and washbasin tap were leaking. Mattress needs to be flipped or changed - you can actually see in sagging in the middle. I think some of the floorboards need to be relaid or replaced. And I think there needs to be some brighter lighting in the room. I would add a screen door so that the room can be ventilated without allowing insects to fly in. But all in all, it was a quaint, rustic place to stay. Comfortable enough for a couple of nights.

Average accommodation for family travelers / vacation. Family room was big but no air cond, no TV, refrigerator not functioning, Only 1 fan at hall area. For the price of 500 bucks/2 nights it's NOT worth it. Consider expensive as compared to what they provided to you. 1st and last check in here, will never come back to this hotel. Room Security Lock system NOT at primary security par level. For room security I opted 1/10, seriously NOT safe at all.

Booked the king room with mountain view. The room was extremely spacious and comfy. Room and toilet were clean although everything does looks dated. Location is ideal as it is near most of the activities that you would want to do near kundasang. What was non ideal was the tap doesn't comes with hot water and the WiFi for my room was non existence. As the TV was internet only that means that is zero TV programs that you could watch. One point to note was that Celcom coverage is also bad in this hotel. Maxis is ok.

I'll just give a list of pros and cons PROS 1. Very central location. Close to town so whatever you need it is there. 2. Has a large restaurant with decent food. So if weather is bad, just eat in as they offer room service. 3. Ample parking 4. Towels were clean unlike previous comments. We used theirs though we brought our own just in case. 5. Beds were clean 6. Has a balcony so can dry clothes etc 7. Has TV with Netflix etc!! Plus for family 8. Wifi in room was ok 9. Hot shower ad tank is large so big family no issues. 10. Excellent service staff. Friendly and helpful. CONS 1. Tap water was a horror when it flowed out black sand and brown water for a good couple of minutes. A total turn off so we asked for extra bottles of water for cooking noodles and brush teeth. 2. Old place so old style furnishing and things are falling apart! 3. Toilet sewage smells a little. 4. The chalet had very very steep steps so it was horrible that we had to carry the luggage up and was not convenient for my 77 yo mum and 4yo boy so we requested a change of room to smaller one despite paying for the big room. 5. The doors at the chalet either had holes or is very shaky. Quite scary. The window at the door had no curtain so no privacy. Ppl can peep in if they want and see everything outside the room. 6. Got safe but can't use. It's broken. 7. Got coffee and cups but no teaspoon. Had to go restaurant to get some. No sugar provided. 8. Boiler leaking so we exchanged one. 9. We changed rooms for another reason. There was no TV at the chalet. They informed us during check in.

Very accomodating and friendly staff that helped us even when we checked in late because of our delayed flights. Rooms are basic but clean and with all the necessities in good condition (Twin rooms). There's hot water, but you need to use low water pressure which is no issue. Friend of mine asked me to turn on the aircon, but there's none since we're already 1700m above sea level. (There is a ceiling fan however). Good location on the main road leading into Kundasang town center roundabout, meaning you're very close to shops and other attractions. Also less than 15 minutes away from Kinabalu Park entrance.

I booked a deluxe twin room. But when I arrived around 3.00pm, they experienced black out and couldn't issue the room key card. They gave me the room though. I waited for an hour and a half in the room but they still couldn't fix the electricity. So they upgraded my room to chalet free of charge. The water pressure is low. They have water heater but if you take a longer shower, the hot water will run out. They have a restaurant within walking distance. The Kundasang town is just 5 minutes driving. The staff are friendly. The room is clean.

Easy to find, very conveniently located near Kundasang shops. Short drive or walking distance to The shops and stalls of Kundasang. The area is clean and relaxing. A restaurant is available in this property. You can also easily walk to the "Inilah Kundasang" street sign to take photos since parking is an issue. There are also restrooms available in this location.

Seems like a decent food court. Plenty of stalls with one or two Muslim friendly stalls. Rice, noodles, claypot dishes. Not bad. Seems pretty busy so I am assuming it's one of the popular food court around

The food is not spectacular, but is of good quality and is what considered comfort food by many people, I guess. First time I tried Mee Tuaran. Not sure whether it is authentic Mee Tuaran, but for a noodle lover, I loved did. Egg noodles fried simply with eggs to get that slight "wok hey", then topped with char siew and roast pork. Accentuate with the chilli sauce provided. Very nice indeed, highly recommended. The other dishes we ordered, Fried Noodles, Pari Panggang, Claypot Chicken Rice, Nasi Goring Ayam, were all above average. Will definitely drop by again if we're in the neighborhood!

Big food court with variety of choice, but a lot stalls selling char siew and roast pork. Only 1 stall each selling sinalau, sang yuk main, ngiu chap, grill fish. Not all g food here are nice. But majority that we chosen are not bad. Our top ranking by preference are sang yuk laksa, bao ji roast pork, grill fish, tuaran mee, Top disappointment are ngiu chap, 33 zhi char, sinalau.

Love this place with the variety of pork-based noodles for breakfast - from dry noodles to soup to laksa noodles: sliced pork, roast pork, BBQ pork, boiled pork, braised pork. Average cost: rm13 - rm14 per dish.

Heavy rain in this afternoon, came for late lunch. Many open air parking spots. Got there around 3pm and had bak kut teh. Soup was bit sweet but the dried one was yum! Clear off everything in 15min haha Only yucky order was the teh…

big food court with alot stall selling roasted chicken, pork and duck. ordered roasted duck kon lou mian, it was tasty. The price was reasonable. Ample dining area, and decent parking area.

Visitors would expect Hakka food due to the name. I was disappointed. No Hakka food stall could be found. Ended up eating Panampang beef noodles which was a let down because the soup was not hot at all.

It's over sea level 4095m, exciting hiking experience, try it, you'll love it.

Hiking Mount Kinabalu was the best experience. This is the first gate to enter, and the park provided the transport to get us here. My life's history begins right here! Ha3x

If u come for hiking , everything need to arrange first before the trip . From the permit , guide , porter and also the accommodation at laban rata .

The squirrels here are tame because they’re already familiar with visitors. I came here back in 2014.😅

Great experience to hike. Remember bring your bedsheets as the bed is not very hygiene from my perspective. Most of the hikers would not take their shower as the shower water cold like ice. Thus, most of them would directly lied on bed after sweat of hiking.

Walked from the Sutera sanctuary to the Timpohon gate. Nice steep walk on asphalt. Beautiful view of the mountain once up near the gate. Next time I'll take the Liwagu trail, hopefully it will be open fully by then.

Located at the end road of Kinabalu National Park where hikers would start their journey to Kinabalu summit. Entrance to Kinabalu park is RM3/person and you can drive all the way to the generator station and walk few meters to reach the gate. It was cozy and misty when I was there. A lot of squirrels as well!

Pretty run down place. Albeit the good cause of adopting these felines, it's pretty obvious they aren't properly taken care of. Numerous had health issues and a couple were injured. Once you turn into the compound, need to head further in. Limited natural parking area.

Cats are really lovely there, especially this marble tabby. Me as cat lover it is a must visit here. On the other hand, owner should aware that there is a fierce dog (probably just give birth to puppies) around and please have proper management, either get someone to fence her up or keep her away from visitors during visit hour. My partner got attacked out of the blue but luckily no bleeding wound and managed to keep the dog away and I still in trauma afterwards. Those who come do aware and becareful of the dogs around

In my opinion, the place is alright, not too shabby for this kind of place. I think they make it to provide shelters and food for the cats + side money from visitors. A few of them are quite unkept and dirty, but that's all. The entry fee is only RM 5, so it's understandable. In conclusion, if you don't know what to do, you can visit the place

Location is a bit further than expected but the place has a calming vibe. The only downside is that they aren't a lot variety of cat breeds there. The entrance fee is acceptable.

One option you can consider to visit while you are here especially if you are a cat lover. Accept the short journey might offer a short thrill of adventure due to the road conditions. Won't recommend you to drive your mr. Lowerd car here. They really need our support to maintain all the kitten here. Due to the pandemic lock down, the couldn't collect enough fund to raise all those cute kitties. Last time visiting this place, most kitties not in a great shape and might need immediate treatment. Think about saving and helping those kitten, coz they won't last long in this condition.

Friendly owner and lovely cats

I m a cat lover. Enjoyed feeding wet food to cats. All cute, but not all breeds. A cute cat with short legs- I wish to adopt but can't as I work in KL. This cat farm needs financial support.

Nice place..

Picture was taken from the Mesilau Hill. This place was amazing as you can witness the magnificient of Mountain Kinabalu.

Stayed one night at Little Hut...

Nice to have wondeful time with family

Beautiful view

Amazing😍

Nice place to go

We saw one blooming rafflesia. It is about 5 min walk from the parking and the entrance fee was 20 RM per person.

Saw rafflesia (day 4) when back fr poring hot spring

(Translated by Google) There was no person in charge when we got here. We may need to call to make an appointment. The place is remote. There is a banner with a phone number. But there is no signal. I hope someone here can fill in the phone number later. (Original) 我们到这边的时候没有负责人～可能需要打电话预约之类的～地方偏僻～有布条跟电话号码～不过没有信号～希望过后这边有人能把电话号码补上～

We would have given this a full five stars, but our visit on Sunday morning found most stalls closed. However, those that were open offered intriguing sights and experiences, including stunning batik-printed cotton fabric, intriguing hand-carved masks, and other local crafts and souvenirs, along with hot food, snacks, and fresh fruit. There was no pressure whatsoever to purchase anything, allowing us to explore at our leisure. The stunning view of Mount Kinabalu peeking above the clouds was an added bonus, adding to the charm of our outing.

It is a small town but congested with tourists. The stall are neat n tidy. The goods here are beautiful n the price are quite reasonable. The stall owner n workers are very friendly.

Lots of stalls closed , great pit stop to get some stuffs and a toilet break

tmpt best bli souvenir 😊.. bnyk choice of keychain.

Pit stop for reasonably handicraft and souvenir items. Nice view of Mount Kinabalu at the look-out point. Photo shoots here are a must for tourists.

It is not a mistake to stop at this Nabalu Market and endulge yourself with the local handcraft especially the webbing fine art. I recommend you to go to Slyvia's shop. A very friendly lady. Slyvia is so attentive. I can ask her anything from all the bags she's selling to the Mount of Kinabalu and she also a generous lady. Boleh nego harga yg sgt menarik. Jika beli banyak, Slyvia boleh pack all our bags dgn baik.

A really nice place to visit, but definitely worth stopping for the view of mount Kinabalu if you catch it at the right time you get a wonderful view from right next to the market. The market has a lot of local fruits and is a great place to try some different types of fruit on your way to Kinabalu Park.

Scenic and very pleasing on the eyes. Must visit when you are in Kundasang. Mount Kinabalu makes a stunning photo backdrop if you’re lucky with the weather. Cheap entrance fee too! Downside: the smell of cow dung can be quite strong and even dizzying at times. Toilets are okay but the water is freezing cold. Fun touch – they’ve given the cows and goats human-like names 😂 always good for a laugh when you spot your friend’s name. Parking area is under improvement, so it should get better soon.

Me and my family always make a stop here every time we arrive in Kundasang. From when I was young until now, it has always been part of our trip. I really love how the place has developed over the years, it’s now more convenient with many facilities that make the visit even better. The view is amazing, the air is fresh, and the whole farm experience never gets old. It’s a place that feels both nostalgic and refreshing at the same time. Definitely a must visit whenever you’re in Kundasang!

An absolute must-do in Kundasang! Feeding the cows and goats was the best part of our farm visit. The goats were so playful and fun, gently eating pellets from our hands. But feeding milk to the calves was the real highlight, it was such a unique and heartwarming feeling. The animals are well-cared for and the staff were friendly. It’s a fantastic, hands-on activity for all ages. Don't miss this! Highly recommend and suitable for day trip with friends or families.

Had a fun experience here 🤭 U can feed and pet the calf and the baby goat too. The wind was quite strong, it will be better if u wear a jacket. U can also see the mount kinabalu from here too. Their yogurt ice cream tastes so good!! Their chocolate flavor is not bad too👍🏻

It was such a crazy journey going up hill but with the power of friendship, our Axia made it through! This place is wonderful; packed with breathtaking views and it's very lovely. Would love to go again to have the gelato one more time :D

Lovely dairy farm maintained quite well. RM 5 for entrance fees and you can see the cow barn but only during 9:30-2pm Calf feeding goes on up to 4pm If you wish you see the milk processing and packaging then you must visit during Sunday, Thursday etc. Rest it’s a must visit when in Sabah.

Super overrated attraction in Kundasang. It’s definitely not the “little new zealand” or “new zealand of Sabah”, those nicknames are definitely an insult to new zealand. In reality, there are no grass field with cow, there are no cow freely walking outside of barn and they are not even free to walk inside the barn, there is no cow eating grass….. There is only traffic jam, long km of traffic, long queue for entrance and buying ice cream, crowds and crowds and crowds, small display area seeing some cows suffering like imprisoned inside the barn, strong odor (not well ventilated) and various fees for many things. It’s really too much overrated and it’s not actually worth to visit, for the time and effort needed. Look at google review from those who said it is a must visit attraction, see how many of them show a photo with a cow outside of barn. Then you ask yourself whether you believe what they wrote.

Very good National park. There are lots of well marked and maintained trails and the biodiversity is staggering. Some trails were closed but the others were good however, when you feel as though you’re in the jungle, you’ll hear a car in the road adjacent and notice that you’re not as far in nature as you thought.

The registration office for Mount Kinabalu is where you get your number tag and arrange for your mandatory guide (RM350). For me, the wait for the shuttle to the Timpohon Gate was over 30 minutes because some of the vehicles had broken down. Everything else was fine.

Officers in HQ are friendly, mountain guide is experienced, patient and have took good care of me and my hiking buddies from start to end. Comfortable stay at panalaban, food are tasty. Went early Nov non-peak season, less crowded and was lucky to have good weather and pleasing panoramic view. Best experience ever!

A fascinating view from the peak, standing tall at 4095.2-m height. Hiked from Timpohon gate (entrance point) to Panalaban rest house for a distance of 6-Km and the next morning at 2.00am from Panalaban to the Peak of Mt. Kinabalu another 2.3-Km hike. It was an enjoyable journey, gaining new experience, testing self stamina, and endurance. At the same time, experiencing rock climbing, with beautiful nature (God's creation).

We joined a private Kinabalu mountain hike tour and had an unforgettable experience! The mountain guides were extremely professional – it was a 1-to-1 arrangement, and they made sure each of us was safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. We also hired porter services, so we didn’t have to carry heavy bags – which really helped us conserve energy for the climb. We spent 3 days and 2 nights on the mountain. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we were lucky to have very good weather the entire time. After taking time to recharge, my wife pushed through and made it to the summit😆 Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and truly memorable Mount Kinabalu adventure!

The magnificent view in Kinabalu peak. I like this mount, this place. The mount house provide good meals and service let me finish this hiking safety.

What an amazing park to hike in. Not much else as ltd was closed off. There was 1 toilet i saw and a cafe but no picnic area. Looks like there's an amazing area to stay overnight inside the park.

Dated 20.03.2022. The Starting Point is just next to the main road of Ranau-Tamparuli. One of the best places for those who like hiking, even suitable for those who want to try and experience hiking for the first time or to practice lightly in preparation before climbing Mount Kinabalu. Just bring a small bag with a small towel to wipe sweat, a spare t-shirt, a 1.5 liter bottle of mineral water and a bun for each person is enough. With a fresh and cool atmosphere, I & my wife with the team were very excited to enjoy the moment where we could see the strawberry farm and buy it by choosing and picking it ourselves, everything was fresh and delicious to eat. Along the 2.5km Aki-Aki Trail and taking less than 2 hours including breaks at several rest huts provided, we were able to enjoy the beauty of nature while crossing a wooden bridge across a clear river and its clean area and continuing towards the two towers at the top, namely The Aki-Aki Platform (1,780 meters) and The Odu-Odu Platform. The views from both towers and the surrounding area are also very attractive where you can see Mount Kinabalu, the Dairy Farm area, the golf course and the beautiful village area. The tour guide is also very friendly and informative about the place, don't question why a tour guide is needed because it is very important for your safety and also for maintaining cleanliness in the area. After climbing and returning to the Starting Point, you will also be given a certificate by the management. You definitely won't regret it!

Aki-aki trail is only about 3.3KM with absolutely mesmerizing views of Mount Kinabalu, unfortunately when we reached the top, Mount Kinabalu was hiding behind the clouds. For hikers would like to hike this trail, make sure you do booking and registration with respective guides before coming. The trail is a mix of 30% stairs and 70% jungle track so hike with a hiking shoe will be more comfortable and safe.

This forest stole my heart and breath away. An astounding forest! Used to be a trail for some villagers to find food/hunting, the community decided to open this trail to the public after knowing about Maragang Hill. Every part of this forest is just gorgeous and photo worthy too. Ascending took us about 1 hour 55 minutes plus rest and of course picture taking sessions. Descending is only about 47 minutes with a few seconds of rest. Andrew, our guide was really friendly and have a lot of stories to share. He patiently hike within our pace. Unfortunately, our moment at Aki-Aki platform, Mount Kinabalu refused to show its beauty. It was full of thick clouds. But the view is OMFG! Extraordinary! But upon reaching Odu-Odu platform, we were greeted by the beautiful colorful butterflies and white birds flying in groups, having so much fun on that sky. It was like they are performing their best for us. What a humbling experience. I could say this is a medium level hike but considering 80% of it are stairs, you do not come here unprepared. The stairs could be intimidating but they built it according to the right steps and momentum. Not forgetting to the 3 dogs that loyally accompanied us through our hike. Its been a pleasure doggies. Till we meet again Aki-Aki Trail!

The 3.3 km trail with proper facilities such as staircases and platforms with majestic Gunung Kinabalu. Make sure you need to be alert surrounding especially at night because we encounter a snake on our way in the dark.

Here you go down and about 1,5km where you come across a sign (photo). After phoning the number you get the warning for a mandatory guide (240rm). I tried to learn why we need a guide for a trail that is completely built with stairs and signs. Because "we don't want anything bad to happen". Which I think is the most common tell tale sign of a scam. They are building a resort there. The path is public property (the guy on the phone was very evasive about this, but it's the truth). It could have been a wonderful morning walk. I would have been happy to pay 50rm for conservation. Now you miss out on hundreds of tourists that would come and enjoy the park.

Hard Trail but at the end the view is very beautiful.

Challenging hiking trails but nice view on top

A hidden gem around the Kundasang-Ranau area. Do note this is a private land, and hence will require a guide as mentioned in the listing, but cost wise, it was minimal and the hike for 2 people costed me not a lot and I can see the money is used for maintenance of the area. I was guided by Aunt Juliana who is a strong lady at her age and can speak Malay. The trail itself is not particularly challenging, taking about 30-45 minutes only on a regular pace. Since it is a private land. the summit is beautifully maintained with a bunch of flowers, some platforms, swings, and a small hut for beautiful photo ops. We were the only hikers on that morning, and got to enjoy our own private sunrise, backdropped by Mount Kinabalu. They also allow hiking for sunsets, which I believe should give you a view of the sun setting behind Mt. Kinabalu. Recommended for the cute summit and helping local small business owners.

Beautiful sunflowers on the hill. will come visit again next time. The scenery is very satisfying for all climbers .. let's climb.. you can take picture of sunflowers and experince too..scenery good for your eyes also your sweet memory .. hugs!! :) ♡♡♡

Remember to book the tour guide in advance as it's private land , overall a pleasant and short hike .

Very nice scene with beautiful flowers and hills. Have to book time with local tour guide first as is private property. Sunrise have to go around 5am and sunset also around 5pm.

Scenic little hill , went up to see the sunrise and it was really beautiful despite the weather. Do ask for a a guide if you are going in the early morning.

The scenery is great and captivating...

Love this place so much , need to pro-book by whatsapp, friendly guide too
