Sabah Tea Resort (Cottages) - Ranau, Sabah

-
Sabah Tea Resort is located in Ranau, 50 minutes drive from Kundasang town. Road going in and out from Sabah Tea Resort from the main road is a gravel road without any street light. There's three types of accommodation for you to choose from:

a) Sabah Tea Longhouses
b) Sabah Tea Cottages (All the cottages are named after colouful personalities in Sabah's colonial past)
c) Camp grounds

We stayed in one of the cottages which comes with a queen and single size bed, LCD TV with limited Astro channel, small living room, dressing table, cupboard, ceiling fan, self controlled air-conditioning, coffee or tea making facilities, 2 complimentary bottles of mineral water, 3 mini soaps, 3 packets of shampoo and hot/cold shower. Clean and basic room that can accommodate 3 person. There's a sliding door that separate the shower area from the toilet. Good water pressure but the temperature isn't hot enough unless you reduce the water pressure.

The reception is located near the cottages in an open-air environment just opposite the cafe. The whole resort was very quiet and peaceful. You could just hear chirping bugs or insects. So make sure you keep the windows closed to prevent them from entering your room. By the way, wifi only available at the cafe area and there's no free wifi inside the room. 

Check in time: 2pm, check out time: 11am.

(Our room rate: RM 266 per night including breakfast for 2 person)

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
