Journey around Sabah – Tempurung Seaside Lodge, Kuala Penyu
journey, kuala penyu, life, Tempurung Seaside Lodge December 17th, 2008
Just to refresh about the delay of our Journey around Sabah… our vehicle was having a minor problem because its fuel filter needs replacement. The mechanic suspects the filter is contaminated with water… we can only travel with the jerking vehicle at 40km/h.
I was so exhausted waiting for the whole thing to get fixed… added with the extra heat… yes, Monday weather was extra hot.
Because of the unnecessary delay, we changed our plan and headed straight to Las Vegas instead to enjoy ourselves… to play roulette, poker and jackpot at hotels las vegas… 😆 just kidding…
We actually landed ourselves at Tempurung Seaside Lodge at Kampung Tempurung, Kuala Penyu. This place is so cool… beautiful beaches… just like the Mild Seven advertisement 😀 A great place to relax, vacationing or to escape from city life.
err… have I mentioned that I was surfin at 3.5G with celcom broadband? 😮
The rate is $135 per head… yep they count by head… inclusive of room, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Before coming here, my colleague warns that they rely on rain water! Shoot… what happen if there is no rain? Yesterday’s weather was so hot, no rain… I can’t live without fresh water… I guess if the water runs out, I have to learn how to live with salt water… yea, sea water… :O But they actually have plenty of water… not sure whether it comes from the main supply pipe or rain… probably from both sources… but the water is clean and the tap is running strong.
The restaurant and office viewed from the highest cabin.
Anyway, our journey was great… the roads at Sabah’s southern region are in low land… that’s why there are always flood news from this region… not many hill climbing roads… but just a low climbing roads. The stretch is also the road heading to Brunei and Sarawak… and we can go to Labuan if we want to 😆 it’s so close… yay…

OK, I will talk more about Tempurung Seaside Lodge later. We only stayed there one night. Currently I’m in Beaufort… at a lame hotel 🙁 There is no great hotel in Beaufort.

Nope, they don’t have internet thingy… well, if they do, they should give me a 3 nights voucher then… 😆

Well, i’m planning to have candle dinner at Tempurung since i am going there for a holiday, sadly, they didn’t even provide any luch or dinner for a “bump -in” guest. Try to imagine if you just happenly wanna visit a small place like that and they don’t serve you with what you wish, that’s just a waste of time reaching at the end of Kuala Penyu.

I know how u feels… they should improve their service especially to those who drop by without booking… it is such a very far place, and getting ‘chased away’ is realy not wat a guest expect…
