Once again we have arrived at the end of the calender year, and the year end sale has started to kick in. Every shopping mall in and around Kota Kinabalu is busy doing promotion, and malls have splendid decoration put up to bring in the crowds.

Note: Nabalu Lodge is under serious renovation, the lodge will reopen in the end of 2009.

Less than 100 metres away from the busy Kundasang Market, and with the beautiful Mt. Kinabalu as the back drop, lies this simple and cosy budget accommodation called Nabalu Lodge. Travellers will have no problems looking for it, as it is situated just next to the KK - Sandakan road. The Nabalu Lodge has just 16 rooms for rent, and the rooms are divided into six different types. The room rate starts from a very affordable RM 65 to a rather standard price of RM 150. Add in RM 20 to the room rate, and breakfast will be included. (more…)
