It’s truly difficult to know where to start with our hosts and their accommodation but we’ll give it a go!!! Myself, Wife and Daughter (15) booked to stay 20th and 21st August. The booking process and communication was exceptional from the start! All our questions and concerns were promptly answered and addressed. We had arrived in Sandakan late in the evening of the 19th having stayed at the Four Points Sheraton. The following morning, and as arranged, we were picked up by Gert from reception. During our initial journey Gert proceeded to advise that we would be collecting 3 additional couples and then during the journey also explained, in detail, what events and activities were scheduled for the following 2/3 days! Upon collecting the renaming guests we were introduced to…
We went in July 2019 with 2 adults and 2 teens (16 and 17 years old). Before we went we had discussions at home about the stairs and about the fact that the children wouldn't have wifi these days. But from the beginning everybody loved it! A beautiful location. The stairs were not that high as expected. It is al small resort. Among the other guests there was also a Dutch family with children so the kids walked together, played cards etc. We did see all the animals we wanted. The morning boat trip is beautiful!! Go! You are almost alone on the water. You see all the animals, the damp of the river and the forest. The sun climbing. It was very special. In the afternoon we went to see the little elephants. Than it was more crowded with boats all over. Jason and Gert are good…
Wonderful stay with Jason and his team at their resort nestled high up in the treetops in Bilit overlooking the Kinabatangan River. Jason is a kind, warm, honest person and we all felt completely at ease in his company. He's extremely passionate and knowledgable about the rainforest and the wildlife that live within and was happy to spend his free time engaging in conversation about local politics and the impact of logging and palm oil plantations in the area. I echo what other reviewers said about the food, it's delicious, well presented and packed with flavour. The beef rendang was my favourite. Rodal the tour guide was excellent, he has the ability to spot a needle in a haystack and we ticked off all the animals on our bucket list: Orangutan (they often visit TLFR in…
We would give ten stars if we could! Jason and Gert maintain a very special place in The Last Frontier Resort. Their four room, 12 person maximum resort is the perfect way to spend time in the secondary rainforest exploring the Kinabatangan River. We stayed for three days and two nights and arranged our transportation with Jason from Sandakan as well. It is apparent that Jason and Gert are passionate about the rainforest and want to provide their guests with an educational, hospitable, once in a lifetime opportunity. Yes, there are 600 steps, no WiFi, and no air conditioning, but we appreciated the rare chance to stay comfortably in the rainforest to view wildlife. We stayed for three days and two nights, which included all of our meals, lodging, two afternoon river cruises,…
