Annah Rais Longhouse Homestay is located 60km from Kuching City. It takes approximately one hour of pleasant drive from the city. Witnessing the breathtaking beauty of the rainforest and Padawan Mountain range along the way at Jalan Borneo Height.
For centuries, the villages who are from the “Bidayuh” tribe used to stay on top of the two mountains. Eventually, they moved down from the mountains and stayed at the longhouse for more than 150 years. The longhouse is strategically located at a valley with river stream runs behind it. Annah Rais Longhouse is consists of Kupo Saba (front row), Kupo Tirakan (middle row) and Kupo Sijo (back row).
We stayed 1 night at the Annah Rais Linghouse. Joseph and his relatives are very welcoming and friendly. Everybody contributes to an unforgettable experience. Madamcity gave us a spectacular tour in the jungle and cooked our lunch at the hot spring. Cathy cooked our delicious dinner en breakfast. She also explained about the herbs she uses. Arthur played his fantastic bamboo pratuokng. And Joseph shared their history as headhunters and told us about the tribal live.
Our stay is one of the top experiences of wonderful Borneo.

Great Authentic Experience
My family got to experience authentic Bidayu culture and living. He asked his friend to play the traditional bamboo music for us. My children loved listening and later learning to play the bamboo instruments. The food was great his cousin made the best Nasi Lemak my wife and I had ever tasted the coconut rice was so fragrant I'm salivating thinking about it again.
The jungle trek was interesting. You can see pitcher plants up close and the guide cooked our lunch while we were playing in the hot springs.
A memorable experience.

Pleasant and knowledgeable host
Joseph of Annah Rais longhouse is friendly and humorous and he takes efforts to give his guest an enjoyable stay. Touring around the kampung with Joseph is especially nice and insightful. Equally appreciative of the hospitality of his relatives who made our stay memorable!

Great Day Tour Experience w Nice Tour Guide
Was a planned trip w/o prebooked for tour guiding. Super lucky to meet Joseph when we first stepped in the long house while he was hospitalising his another group of guests. The hosting was warmly and comfortly. He is humble and humor, the sharing from him had eliminated the audiences’ fears about the cultures of bumiputera and their ancestors. Recommended to whom are interested to understand and to experience how a bumiputera does.

Wonderful experience
We stayed in the long house for 1 night, it was a great experience and we had a great time enjoying the bidayuh's lifestyle for a little bit. The surrounding is really peaceful and the people are kind, fun and friendly. Love the food and tuak cooked /made locally👍
