'Aunty' Saupang is a welcoming host at her two-storey wooden lodge built on stilts over a pond, with views of the mountains and paddy fields beyond. Plenty of space for larger groups. Meals are cooked using fresh jungle produce. She's often staying with family in Kuching but with at least a week's notice is happy to return to Pa' Lungan.
