Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly known as Sepilok Nature Resort 3 stars

Sandakan

Situated amidst abundant greenery, Sepilok Nature Lodge - Formerly known as Sepilok Nature Resort is a haven for nature lovers. It has a restaurant, and offers complimentary WiFi access in its public areas. Absolutely beautiful! A wonderfully peaceful oasis in Sepilok right next to the orangutan rehabilitation centre. Being surrounded by nature was my favourite part, we even had some visitors in the form of orangutans on a couple of occasions! food was simple, but there was an authority, and it was tasty! We loved our experience here, so much that we booked an extra night!
