Nanga Damai Homestay

Had an amazing stay at the Nanga Demai Homestay! The property is beautiful, comfortable and in a great location. Emily was the best and most helpful host. We had an incredible time, I would recommend to anyone!

Nanga Damai is a beautiful homestay in the middle of the jungle. It was one of the nicest places where we slept in Malaysian Borneo. The hosts, Louise and Pol, are very friendly and helpful. The place is quite remote, but Louise and Pol are willing to bring you to places with their car to have lunch or dinner. In the area you can do jungle trekkings, wildlife river cruises (where you have a chance to see dolphins, crocodiles, probuscus monkeys and fireflies), visit bako national park or just chill at the beach or at the beautiful pool at the homestay. The homestay has a bar where you can grab a soda, a beer or a mix drink. Would definitely recommend staying here when you visit Sarawak!

So this is a first: Was turned away and had our booking cancelled due to me being overweight! The host quoted reasons such as them not being suitable for me due to them having many stairs. This ofcause is not the truth as I can obviously walk stairs! Another reason was there being 2 km to food courts - which again is not the truth as I can walk this distance, plus transportation/taxis are available. The real reason for me and my girlfriend being turned away: all their furnitures are unusual cheap and fragile carrying little weight. I have travelled internationally throughout my entire life, including 3 previous trips to beautiful Malaysia. Thus, I have stayed at hundreds of accomodations. Never once before have I been turned away. So, if the host considers you as being too overweight, beware that you just may be left stranded in Malaysia.
