TreeTops Lodge, Miri, Borneo
Longhouse rooms on the Dam below Main House
Not far from the Lambir Hills and sitting
high up overlooking the jungle, just along the coast from Miri, Sarawak, is
TreeTops Lodge; situated on the outskirts of the village named Siwa Jaya,
which has about 20 houses in it. A good "transit" lodge to start your travels through Borneo!

patio 
upstairs veranda
The verandah is a cool, breezy place high up at
tree-top level; an ideal spot to take breakfast in the mornings or for a few drinks in the
evening as the sun sets on the far side. Set menu every day for RM26 plus a la
Carte to order.
A 15 foot "plunge" pool, recently tiled and refurbished,
is built into the lower terrace - very convenient for a cool dip day or night!
Pool Terrace
Around and below the house are 2 acres of carefully tended fruit trees -
orange, lemon, rambutan, mango plus pineapples and vegetables, and right at the
bottom is a small dam with fish (Tilapia) for breeding (and eating!). Along the
dam is a small traditional longhouse with six basic rooms for "backpackers" and
other adventurers. The beach is just a ten minute walk away. Beyond the
immediate garden are six acres of mixed jungle and farming land, planted at times with
rice (padi fields) or maize of various kinds and these lead down to the river; still
further takes you uphill and into the Lambir Forest Reserve.
Many
good walks and mountain bike rides nearby (<click here!) We have two
mountain
bikes for hire at RM35 per day.
"A special slice of paradise!"
- we are in the
countryside with no shops, traffic or town facilities.

"If
tourism is to be sustainable, it must preserve the attractions and uniqueness
that draw people to an area. By linking education about the environment with
simple and minimal travel needs, eco-tourism can help protect environments and
provide economic incentives to local people to preserve their natural
resources.
For this to happen, tourism should have a minimal impact. It should use
local people and products while most of the money generated should remain
within the local community. Tourism activities that degrade the environment
adversely, affect the local community or fail to return worthwhile economic
benefits to the local community are not sustainable in the long-term."
Treetops Lodge in Borneo is family owned and operated. We support eco-tourism.
