The Last Frontier Boutique Resort

The accommodation provides immaculate, clean rooms with high-quality amenities, delicious breakfast, and exceptional staff. It offers stunning views in a peaceful rainforest setting but may have challenging access.

Truly a five star stay. From the pickup, to the food, to the animal sightings, and the recommendations for our trip afterwards. Jason, Ryan and the team could not have done more for us and we left feeling we had discovered a hidden gem. Ryan was fantastic at seeking out the wildlife - leading to us seeing the Borneo Big 5 (and an elephant crossing the river). Jason was spectacular at attending to different dietary needs, helping us sort out a local SIM card, and ensuring we had a good plan for when we left the resort. The room was clean and comfortable and the steps weren’t as bad as we had thought (especially if you just take a backpack up). An experience we will never forget - thank you for such a wonderful stay!

We booked our stay as independent travelers and all of the booking process was made seamless by the owners who responded to all our questions quickly. We decided to do a 4 night stay so effectively two back to back 2 night stays as advertised. We were picked up from our location in Sepilok at exactly the agreed time of 1215 by one of the owners in a smart pickup. Two of the other guests were already in the car and we then set off for the two hour journey to the resort. Two other guests would meet us there so for the first two nights there were 6 guests out of a possible 8 (4 rooms for two people but the possibility of one or two additional children). When you arrive at the resort you are at the foot of a large set of stairs up to the resort which is very well advertised on their website. You need to deposit your big bags in a secure locker at the base of the stairs and take up what you need for the next few days in a smaller rucksack. We had already packed this way so we were ready to make the climb which we measured as being about 70m vertically with a total distance of 350 meters. The steps are all made of solid hard wood but the handrail is wobbly in places (we understand the whole step and rail will be upgraded for the 2025 season) so you have to take it slowly. It took us under 10 minutes to make the climb comfortably and we repeated this many times over the next 4 days. At the top of the steps the resort is split into two sections, to the left a row of 4 rooms and to the right a little higher a dining and sitting area. The rooms are basic but spotlessly clean. There is a large covered exterior walkway between the rooms with seats and a bench outside each room. If you leave things outside such as coats to dry keep in mind you are in the wild and a platoon of monkeys could pass and find your coats entertainment (it happened but not our coats!). The room is large with a big bed in the middle which is firm and comfortable. There is a ceiling fan (no air con) and a window on the back wall which helps with airflow and cooling. On the other side of the back wall is the door to the toilet and shower room with basin. It is a bit more of a wet room but clean and functional. Keeping (or getting) things dry in this environment is important so we left the bathroom door open most of the time and kept the ceiling fan going to provide airflow. This allowed us to dry our cloths as needed during our stay. Keep in mind it does rain, and heavily at times. Not even the best poncho will keep you 100% dry so for the boat trips and hiking do bring something waterproof to keep your electronics and other items dry in and wear shorts and light clothing that will dry quickly. The tours are quite bespoke due to the size of the resort and the tour guide, Ryan, was exceptional. The hiking is a couple of hours there and back along a ridge that the resort sits on. The views are amazing and it is just chance whether you see wildlife or not. The chances of seeing an oran
