Afternoon tea
Aug 2020 • Family
Nice quiet place by the gardens overlooking the sea. Great place for afternoons. Do order the English tea set and watch the afternoon go by. After that walk around the museum next to it.

The place was well kept and clean.
A quick historical tour which doubles as a leisurely stroll after afternoon tea at the English Tea House.

'Heritage Museum House'
Feb 2020
This wooden house has been restored and turned into a heritage museum house known as Agnes Newton Keith House. The house provides lots of information during the administration of British North Borneo and her life story.

pleasant museum

We walked from our hotel and climbed the 100 steps up to the Agnes Keith House. A very attractive looking house, the interior is very interesting with lots of information boards.

Amazing place to get a sense of history and what life was like during the early years of Sandakan. The displays were really informative.

Excellent!
Dec 2019
This home gives an excellent impression of the life of Agnes Newton Keith and her husband and son. Well displayed historical information of their life in Sabah, the tastefully decorated and furnished rooms and the architecture of the house itself give a wonderful impression of the life of a colonial professional and his novelwriting wife at that time.
