#springitinerary Just had my first trip to Kota Kinabalu (KK), Sabah — and wow, I found such a gem in Kundasang! We stayed one night at The Pampines Villa, a newly opened villa near Mount Kinabalu. Since the famous Ausvilla was fully booked, we took a chance on this one — and no regrets at all! Why I loved it: We booked a 2-bedroom villa (2 double beds + 2 single beds), added 2 more beds, and split the cost between 6 people — only RM85 per person per night! Super spacious rooms, modern bathrooms (with dry/wet separation), cozy living room with YouTube/TV Box. Fully equipped kitchen — we cooked hotpot and had such a good time just chilling together. Best part? Stepping outside in the morning and seeing Mount Kinabalu right in front of you! If you're lucky, you'll catch the golden sunrise over the mountain. And at night — zero light pollution, so you’ll see a sky full of stars. Some nights, you might even spot the Milky Way! Heads-up: Some construction nearby (no noise though). No restaurants around, so bring your own food — but honestly, cooking together was part of the fun! Final thoughts: Peaceful, scenic, budget-friendly — this place is perfect for groups or families wanting a relaxing mountain escape. #KundasangStay #MountKinabaluView #SabahTravel #HiddenGem #StarryNights #AffordableEscape ✨⛰️🌌

Woke up early to visit the KK Fish Market and grabbed some fresh seafood before making the drive up to Kundasang. We had lunch in Kundasang before checking in to Pampines Villa — a newly built stay in 2025, fully equipped for steamboat! With the cool weather at around 17°C, it was the perfect setting for a hot pot dinner. The view from the villa? A direct shot of the mountain. We didn’t wake up early enough for sunrise, but my parents did — and they said it was absolutely beautiful. #kotakinabaluguide #travel #staycation #familytravel #naturalwonders #kotakinabalu #kundasang
