Descripción
I'm Donald Kely, residing in Penampang, Sabah. The place is an old wooden house built in 1959 but now transformed as Homestay. We still do some improvement, refurbishment and maintenance. There are also ecotourism related projects needed to be done within and beyond the house compound as it is located beside the Moyog River and Pan Borneo highway. Currently, the homestay is managed by myself and my wife with 1 carpentering, 1 electrician and 1 cleaner (as part-time contractor to do the maintenance job)

At the same time, if our guests willing, they can share their knowledge and experience in preparing their special cuisine which we normally keen to learning

The accommodation was basic but very clean comfortable and spacious.
We really enjoyed… read more
