Reservation was
made 2 months back. As usual, blog hopping saved me. My original plan was to
stay at J Residence but the place was fully booked so we opted for Kiram’s Village.
The location was further in at Mesilau. J Residence was along the mainroad
about 5mins to Kinabalu Park Entrance while Kiram’s Village is 15mins from
Mesilau Nature Resort. Do note that
Kinabalu Park is the starting point of Kinabaly Trail while Mesilau Nature Park
is the starting of Mesilau Trail. To-fro for these 2 places (J
Residence-Kiram’s) is about 30mins.
The correspondence
with J Residence (http://jresidence.com/index.php
or fb https://www.facebook.com/jresidence.admin?fref=ts)
was really smooth. It didn’t take long for the owner to confirm and responded
with me. He even gave alternatives to my dates but due to my flight tic, I had
to decline.
As for Kiram's Village, u
can browse thru their web to get all the details (http://kirams-village.com/ or fb https://www.facebook.com/KiramsVillageCabin).
This time, I directly called the owner instead of emailing him. I was thinking
of either Chilli or Onions since both rooms cater for 2pax. Cute kn name room?!? The owner, Mr.
Jamalul told me that the rooms are booked for our date but there are 2 new
rooms for 2pax being constructed at the time of conversation; namely, Potato
and Mushroom. The difference on the room is just the bedding, double vs 2
single beds. So of course we grabbed Potato (2-single-bed room) on the spot! Total
for 2nights is RM210. I’m not sure how it’s being charges as it’s 1 day w’day +
1 day w’end rate, maybe RM100+RM110.
When we checked in, I love it! Everything is new and bathroom is spot clean. Most important, water heater is working. There is a kettle and cups provided free. However, there are no complimentary water or coffee here. There are a bunch of stuff u can rent during your stay such as towel (RM5/piece), BBQ pit etc. They also have in-house restaurant but we didn’t eat there so no comment on the food or pricing.
