The resort is a beautiful compound bordering the protected area and blends in perfectly integrated with the surrounding forest. Set in a spectacularly landscaped private area of manicured lawns and rolling hills, the resort is home to 24 timber chalets. The front office, tour information desk and restaurant are all integrated into the resort's main building, built with charming traditional wooden interiors reflecting a truly tranquil setting and overlooking the green shimmering curtain of lowland tropical rainforest canopies. A view of the beautiful natural lake at the heart of the resort is a sight not to be missed.

This lakeside eco-resort is set amongst tropical plants and orchids, trees and grasses. It is 25 km from the town of Sandakan - its name means 16 miles (= 25 km) in the local dialect. The reserve is very close to Lankayan and is also easy to reach from both Sipadan and Kota Kinabalu. Sepilok Nature Reserve is just a 10-minute walk from the accommodation.

Western dishes and local specialties are served in the central building, under covered terraces, alfresco-style. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner here.
