Offering garden views, Merdeka Guest House 2 is an accommodation situated in Kuching, 5.5 km from Sarawak Stadium and 10 km from Borneo Convention Centre Kuching. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host was super nice, he brought us food every morning and we did not even asked for anything. Super nice. Also he suggested his friend and neighbour as a driver on the last day. That's how we easily managed to arrive to the airport at 3 am.

Located in Damai, Nanga Damai Homestay features a garden and terrace. Among the various facilities of this property are a shared lounge and a bar. The guest house offers an outdoor swimming pool and luggage storage space. Everything was fantastic. Located in the green with monkeys playing in the trees. The hosts and the staff were super friendly (special shoutout to Amriti). It genuinely felt like you were staying in somebody’s home with the hosts always being willing to chat and give recommendations (we were lucky enough that once they even brought dinner for us). The facilities are clean, the breakfast is good, the pool is nice.
