Kinabatangan Riverside Lodge
Kampung Sukau, Malaysia
Why we love it
Kinabatangan Riverside Lodge is a relaxed back lodge set right on the banks of Sabahâs longest river, the Kinabatangan, and is one of the most exciting and easily accessible places to explore the rich biodiversity of Sabah.
The lower Kinabatangan offers the opportunity to see an
incredible range of wildlife including Borneoâs unique proboscis monkeys, the wild Orang Utan, Bornean Pygmy elephants, crocodiles, otters, bears, wild cats and endless rare and spectacular birds such as hornbills and the Oriental Darter.
Discover the acres of manicured gardens and vineyards on a tour with the lodge's head gardener, as well as visiting the vegetable garden.
Spend an afternoon with one of the lodge's chefs to learn how to recreate some of the delicious food using the lodge's homegrown produce.
Relax body and soul by treating yourself to a massage using all-natural New Zealand essential oils, filled with health benefits.
Visit the lodge's wine shack to taste a selection of the region's best wines, matched to your tastes by the onsite sommelier.
Enjoy dinner with a show by snagging the Chef's Bench table, with an intimate view into the kitchen to watch the lodge's chefs cooking your dinner.
Cycle along the endless stretch of coast along the Marlborough Sounds, dotted with what are considered some of the best trails in the country.
Challenge your friends and family to a competitive game of tennis out on the grass courts - the perfect way to spend some time in the sun.
Soak up the sunshine or swim some laps in the heated outdoors pool, peacefully secluded amongst the lodge's acres of garden.

My husband and I stayed at the Datai for our honeymoon and wanted to take our kids back after the refurb. We needed Peter and Katie‘s guidance to help us create a trip memorable for more than a beautiful hotel and perfect beach. Kuala Lumpur was so much fun but – amazing food and we rushed about for 2 nights there before heading down to Sepilok to see the orangutans, our boys LOVED that. Thankfully the Datai was even better than we remembered it. Such an amazing family holiday. Thank you True Luxury.
