My 4 sisters, an aunt and a cousin stayed at this beautiufl art gallery/hometay of Stephen's and Tine in mid March 2013. We couldn;t have chosen better! We love everything about it! Love the canvasses in the rooms and dining rooms, everywhere! Stephen's work will be exhibited in Cambridge, England this April too, YOU GO STEPHEN! Apparently, we soon found... More

We have left our heart in Bario! My family of 7 stayed at jungle blues and what an unforgettable stay it was. Stephen and Tine and who could leave out Noah welcomed us into their home and it felt like we were one big extended family. Stephens art work gave the place a calm and cosy ambience. Their food is...

Stephen is a great host, not only he made our stay very comfortable, he shared his art, music and knowledge of the place so much that we are immersed in the world of Kelabit Highlands.He cooked up a delicious meals through the length of our memorable stay.

Steven and Tine gave us a warm welcome, good food, and a comfortable place to sleep. But most importantly, they shared with us their valuable knowledge of Bario and the surrounding region.

This is my second trip to Bario mainly because of the hospitality shown to me by Stephen and Tine (pronouced Ti-na) on my very first hike in the Kalabit Highlands 18 months ago.

Take some good books and a pair of wailking-shoes (and of course a lot of time) and you won't regret going to Bario and meet Steven and his lovely Danish wife Tine (and ofcourse son Noah) We still are talking about you guys!

My wife and I stayed with Tine and Stephen in July 2011 (sorry, forgot to post this review before). Of our 5 weeks in Sarawak and Sabah this was the most pleasant accommodation. It's a bit like being welcomed into someone's home. Jungle Blues Dream is all about them and what lovely people are they! Stephen showed us around the... More

Though I was alone on this trip, I never once felt that I was alone. Stephen and Tine were gracious hosts and the new friends I met in the highland welcomed me like an old friend into their homes. I was so inspired and fascinated by the numourous art pieces at the homestay and so happy for Stephen's success. The... More

Tine and Stephen are warm and friendly hosts, with great senses of humor, and the most incredibly tasty cooking. At jungle blues you will experience beautiful views, the sweet calm of silence, and lots of time to rest, hike, paint, write... or whatever suits your fancy in the quaint village of Bario.
