Vacation rentals in Kampong Mantanani

A stunning location with easy access to the beach. The villa was very comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is definitely worth the drive 😀

I never expected Kudat to have such amazing villas. Serendipity is a beachfront villa with 4 tastefully furnished luxurious rooms. Our spacious room was located upstairs with a really comfortable bed, dressing table, tv, day bed, fan, adequate lighting and two air conditioners. The room has a big sea-facing balcony which is perfect for yoga and night photography to capture the stars and Milky Way. However, it can get pretty hot in the afternoon as there is direct sunlight into the room. This villa is very exclusive, quiet and serene. You will truly enjoy this place with its own swimming pool and a fully equipped self-catering kitchen and not to mention the ‘private’ beach with stunning sunsets. And oh, the beach cabana is a keeper!!! Phone reception is non-existence but WiFi is available in the vicinity (however signal is poor in the rooms upstairs). Bring your own ingredients to cook unless you want to drive out for meals or cater from the management. Nearest restaurants are about 10-15 mins away to the Tip of Borneo, or about 20km to town. This place is part of the Kudat Riviera exclusive villas, which is very well maintained. Every morning their workers are seen cleaning up the beach and gardens. Definitely worth a visit to have a break from the hustle and bustle of Kota Kinabalu city. I do hope this place remains well-kept and not lose its charm as more people start to discover this hidden gem..

Howard and his family warmly welcomed us, and I had an absolutely perfect stay at their place. I still remember our first night—we had just finished climbing the mountain and drove four hours to get here. It was nearly midnight when we arrived, but Mr. Howard was patiently waiting for us and kindly reminded us to drive safely. This small gesture truly touched me. Over the next few days, Howard and His wife prepared delicious breakfasts for us every morning and patiently introduced us to the surrounding area, local restaurants, and travel tips. The cabin is perfectly located close to the sea and surrounded by a beautiful forest. Every morning, I woke up to the refreshing scent of nature. Time seemed to slow down here, and I felt completely at ease. I highly recommend supporting Howard and his family—they have contributed so much to the local community and are a truly warm and loving family. I will definitely come back again! — Stella (Yifan)

The place is nestled away from the hustle and bustle, offering a peaceful retreat while still being conveniently located near key attractions. One of the highlights was the outdoor space – a perfect spot to relax with a morning coffee or unwind in the evening. Overall, this hidden gem is a perfect escape for anyone looking to experience tranquility and comfort. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable stay, and I look forward to returning in the future.

friendly host, got everything you need at the place, very near to the beach and tip of borneo. Recommend to everyone who wants a good view of tbe beach and privacy as not much people passing by there

Lovely oasis retreat. Ekoos was an incredible host, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and answer all our questions. Location is very remote and there are only a couple of restaurants. Would recommend hiring a car or a scooter to get around.

Here you can really relax if you are looking for peace and quiet, everything you need is available.

Very nice, spacious villa at a secluded beach with the most gorgeous view. Cliff was super welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious too.
