AA Homestay

Mulu

Located in Mulu, AA Homestay provides accommodation with seating area. The homestay features family rooms.

At the homestay, every unit is fitted with a desk. The private bathroom is equipped with a bath. At the homestay, every unit includes bed linen and towels. Location is great - only 5 minutes walk to the park and a RM5 ride to/from the airport, which is also close by. The facilities are basic - there is a fan in each room, good water pressure and clean sheets. There is no hot water but after a humid and sweaty day of activities, a cold shower does feel good! Albert and his daughter Mary are wonderful hosts and keep their property neat and spotlessly clean. Mary does the cooking and there is a menu to select from. I love her fried noodles and jungle ferns. Ask if ferns are available - Albert picks them fresh from the forest. Prices are also way cheaper than the Park Cafe. Tips. In the early morning and also at sunset hours, stand at the road just outside of the homestay and look towards the Park. You'll see the mountains/hills wrapped in clouds in the morning or in shades of orange/gold during sunset hours. Of course weather permitting.
