the chalets

The location of Mount Kinabalu Holiday Home is situated almost at the boundary of Kinabalu National Park. This holiday home is not very far from the Timpohok Hut, which is the starting point for the climbers. About 260 degree of Mount Kinabalu holiday home is surrounded by green forest hills, and has Mt. Kinabalu as the back drop. The front part of the holiday home has a great view that looks out to the Kiau Valley, passing many rolling hills before reaching the horizon, which is the South China Sea. This place also offers great privacy, as it is hidden away from the public eyes. Only a small 300 metre road, which turn in and up over a small hill from the main road, will lead you to this quiet and serene holiday home. At times this place seems like paradise in a lost world.

bundu tuhan retreat centre

At the foothill of Mt. Kinabalu lies a small village called Bundu Tuhan. This special and beautiful name “Bundu Tuhan” came from the local Dusun language means “Valley of God”. Situated at 1,200 meters above sea level, Buhan Tuhan is a valley surrounded by temperate farm lands on the lower part, while the upper part consists of lush green forest running on rolling hills. Cool air and peaceful atmosphere are the main characteristics of Budun Tuhan, which also has a very good view of Mt. Kinabalu, especially in the morning, unless the valley is covered by thick fog which is not unusual at this place. The villagers at Bundu Tuhan are mostly from the Dusun tribe, and most of them work as farmers. History recorded that the British had an outpost with a clinic in Bundu Tuhan as early as 1929. Today this small village consists of a few wooden shop houses, a primary school, a clinic, and of course the very popular Bundu Tuhan Retreat Centre.
