David & Jenni Homestay

Sarawak


Operated by experienced guide David Atu and his wife, Jenni, this basic but comfortable lodge has five rooms, and a verandah that's perfect for watching Pa' Lungan's occasional passing traffic of water buffaloes. A new ablutions block was being installed at research time. David is an experienced guide, including for treks to Batu Lawi and Gunung Murud.
