Comments (English):
We (3 adult) stayed there for three days - and we would like to come back. Accomodation is not easy to find - and so it is a first address for relaxion: long quiet beaches, clear water for swimming, great sun sets. Nothing for people who are looking for "wild night action". Staff was very friendly and helpful, also to organise the transfer. Thanks for all! (Not so great: small beach flies in the evening ...)

Comments (English):
Good and clean accomodation. Very good dinner but for lunch they gave us the seafood remained from last dinner after having reheated it: it was not good! Very difficult to find the place if you arrive in the dark.

Endroit très plaisant, très calme,beau site mais isolé. Pour un séjour de plus de 2 jours, nous conseillons une location de voiture.
Bonne nourriture, accueil simple mais sympathique.
A conseiller !

If you like to be at a place almost at your own to enjoy nature and experience yourself while being pampered by very kind staff, delicious food and endless beaches topped by sun rises, than visit the "Borneo Tempurung Seaside Lodge" and you will not be disappointed !

Our family (incl. 3 kinds aged 9,10,12) enjoyed it a lot and definitely will come back if any possible.

We went to Tempurung for a short holiday and we did not regret our choice. The good service was surprising after a lot of other experiences in the country. We appreciated the quiet and natural atmosphere.
But we missed mosquito nets, which are much better than any other chemical prevention.
The food and the rooms were really good. I do not want to say much about the beach. Find out yourself!

One can reach this place either via Kuala Trengganu or Labuan. A wonderful retreat away from the mad city life......just the rolling waves of the South China Sea on a fairly deserted beach and oh yes, marvellous home cooked meals (primarily Chinese style). Beautiful sunsets in the evenings.
Accommodation is a wooden abode with attached bathroom. So nice to spend very quiet days with very polite, attentive and helpful staff. The thoughtful staff even fixed us a candle-lit dinner for two on our last night. However this place is not for those who prefer town or city life.
From here you can visit other attractions that can be arranged by the staff.
Altogether a nice place to re-charge oneself.
