TreeTops Lodge, Miri, Borneo

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 Siwak Jaya, which has about 20 houses in it. A good "transit" lodge to start your travels through Borneo!

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 RM16 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!

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 new bikes for hire at RM35 per day.

"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 and are not sustainable in the long-term."

Treetops Lodge in Borneo is family owned and operated. We support eco-tourism.
