Description
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)

Hébergement
A wooden house with private bedrooms (3 with air-conditioning + 1 without), shared bathroom and toilet. Long and large living room with kitchen and veranda.
As an Indigenous people in North Borneo (Sabah, East Malaysia), we occasionally prepared our traditional cuisine and if our guests like, they can witness us preparing the dishes. 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
We have no problem preparing 3 meals a day and our work schedule is flexible which can be reduced to 3 hours a day, 3 days a week (where applicable under Workaway code of ethics.

The accommodation was basic but very clean comfortable and spacious.
