Tiny house holiday rentals in East Malaysia

I drove from KK to Kudat, Ekoo’s place is like a private garden with tropical plants, it’s located just a few steps from the beach. We came and found surfing is the best activity here, for the natural waves conditions. The room is air-conditioned and clean, with dry-wet-separate shower! The floor is a little bit lean, but acceptable. Kind reminders - Do take insect repellent! It’s a must! - The road from KK to here is pretty bumpy for non-local people, a trunk or an experienced driver is preferred for the road condition.

2019-2020 Booked a water house and a beach house on New Year's Eve, everything is very, very perfect except for the beach house door lock, everything else is very, very perfect!!!Water house facilities are newer than beach house.There are not many people in the resort, the beach is very clear and beautiful, the food is not as scary as it says online, we think it's very delicious.The three of us also took snorkeling activities in Madaking and Tingbatin, and there were no other guests, and the three of us had a special time. When we snorkeled in Madakin, the instructor Song used the lifebuestation ring to the mother who couldn't swim, and took the three of us to watch a lot of turtles, and there was a big turtle floating on the water, close to the sea turtles!Other underwater fish and corals are also beautiful.There is almost no one on Timba Island and the beach is beautiful.There are also music accompaniment for New Year's Eve.It was a great experience.

We loved our stay with Howard. He got to know each of his guests, shared very interesting insights into living at the top of Borneo and gave some great recommendations. The best host we’ve had in 10 months of travelling!!

A truly wonderful place. We were in the VIP2 lodge, which was just as expensive as the others. Of course, it's a bit expensive, but we had a total "Maldives" feeling and it's exactly as in the pictures. There are plenty of opportunities for snorkeling all around. Baby sharks, water snakes and giant turtles swim around the property. The tours offered are phenomenal and all the staff are very friendly and accommodating. If you need something from the city (e.g. sunscreen), this is also organized. It should also be said that this place is completely safe. No pirates, kidnapping or anything like that. This is no longer relevant.

Wellin put in lot of effort & love in caring her little space. She is very warm & hospitality. Wellin's place is a good choice in KM giving very limited options here. Recommended.

friendly host, got everything you need at the place, very near to the beach and tip of borneo. Recommend to everyone who wants a good view of tbe beach and privacy as not much people passing by there

This is the best homestay I have experienced in Kota Kinabalu. The hostess is very warm and considerate. Because it was a friend's birthday, she specially prepared snacks and sent them to where we stayed. She also wrote a blessing and drew a picture, very thoughtful; when it rained, she came out to pick us up without an umbrella; because we were in a hurry, she also sent our luggage to the airport; enthusiastically recommended us delicious food nearby...In short, it is very thoughtful, the room facilities are very smart, the yard environment is also very good, sitting on the balcony at night is very comfortable, the room is very clean and fragrant, in short, the experience is very good, I highly recommend everyone to choose this homestay!

Loved my stay here! Set your expectations before coming here. Reaching this beach isn’t the easiest—roads in Sabah can be rough, with gravel surfaces or stretches under maintenance. Take your time and enjoy the journey. The area is surrounded by nature, so be prepared for the natural elements—expect bugs, sandflies and other insects. Insect repellent is highly recommended. You may encounter a few imperfections during your stay, but the host was very responsive and proactive in resolving issues. That said, once you open your window and take in the view of the serene, crowd-free beach, those minor inconveniences quickly fade away. I hope you’re luckier than I was and catch a sunset without clouds or a clear night sky full of stars. If possible, bring a rubbish bag to help clean the beach. I suggest heading into Kudat town (about 30 minutes away) for dinner—better value there. Just be aware that the roads are very dark at night, so it’s worth renting a car with LED or xenon lights.

Me and my fiancé had a lovely 1 night stay at the JuJu cabin and wished it had been longer! The house is really lovely, located on the top of the hill. It has everything one could wish for for a comfortable stay and, most importantly, it's surrounded by beautiful nature. We really loved the outdoor kitchen and the surroundings and felt very inspired about how Daniel & his wife had built up this house and made it so wonderful. Daniel and his wife were very responsive at all times and we also enjoyed getting to know some of their friendly dogs! This place is highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay here! Sue and her staff were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. The area is peaceful and not too crowded, which was just what I was looking for. We loved waking up to the beautiful mountain view right in front of our cabin. While food isn’t provided, there’s a nice restaurant just across the road—less than a 5-minute walk away. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a quiet and scenic place to unwind!

I had a wonderful stay at Chris’ place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a thoughtfully designed and peaceful retreat. From the start, Chris was kind, responsive, and flexible. He reached out days in advance to make sure I was prepared and knew what to expect — a gesture I truly appreciated. The space itself was exactly what I was looking for: clean, well-kept, and intentionally designed to promote calm and reflection. Though I didn’t get to try the field trip recommendations this time, they’ll definitely be on my list if I return for a longer stay. One of the highlights was getting to chat with Chris — we had a few meaningful conversations about life, personal journeys, and his latest creative project. Wishing him all the best in what’s ahead! As the space is nestled in nature, do come prepared with mosquito repellent — the incense may not always do the trick. But beyond that, everything was great. A memorable stay with a great host!
