#winhkflight This is the Rock Twin by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Kinabalu Park. It's well known for being the most budget friendly accommodation - RM100 a night. A whole lot cheaper compared to the rest of the Kinabalu Park rooms! That being said, there are only a minimal amount of rooms available, so book ahead of time as it's popular amongst locals & tourists alike!

Done the MtKinabalu hike in 2008. Return to Sabah with family and kids this time. Amazing stay at Sutera Sanctuary Lodges at Kinabalu Park. Great breakfast range and many short hiking trails nearby which are suitable for young children too. Family and the kids enjoy the walk in cooling weather. Not to forget to mention the amazing view of Mountain Kinabalu right in front of the lodge early in the morning. #SuteraSanctuaryLodges #KinabaluPark #MtKinabalu

Liwagu Restaurant by Sutera Sanctuary Lodges in Kinabalu Park is truly a gem to retreat to. My second time caught in the rain while walking the trails brought me to this cozy place a second time. It’s menu is good and the food generally is tasty and meets the expected standards of a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ establishment. This time we ordered a tea each (which always looks so good on the tray!), a sharing platter, and mushroom soup. We dived into the soup before the camera could take a pic 🙈 The soup was full of 🍄🍄🍄! It was 👍 Granted that the price is a bit 💰💰💰, you do get a wow-feeling when the food is served and the environment itself is really just worth paying a bit to sit in. Yes, I would come again!
