Damai Eco Ranch, Lohan Ranau Sabah, Malaysia

Family Recreation and Getaway Vacation
Entrance

Damai Eco Ranch is situated at Lohan, Ranau Sabah, Malaysia with countryside view. It is a perfect spot for the whole family to be together and having fun. Damai Eco Ranch offers room to be rented and a few activities that you can choose to play with charges. I had booked two rooms; a family room with 2 queen beds and 2 single beds (RM 180) and a standard room (RM100). There is a restaurant for you to order drinks and food, but I suggest that you bring your own food as they prepared a barbecue place which the point is for you and your family to spend some quality time together.

This is the surrounding pictures of the resort that I have taken during my stay including the living room. However I have forgotten to take pictures from inside the room but it is comfortable. For your information, there was no television inside the room but the best part of this resort was, the WIFI is working and it is super fast. They are also offering dormitory to entertain large check-in group or students.

Activities at Damai Eco Ranch

The above picture shows the activities that they are offering and where each game is situated by mapping it. Example of activities that we have tried:

Fishing 




Swimming



Boating




Archery




Target Shooting - Paintball

 



Flying Fox 




As my personal opinion, this place needs major upgrades such as managing their landscapes and adding up activities including indoor games. I suggested to one of the staff to create a wall climbing activity too. Kids love to be here. The staffs are friendly and helpful, and all you need to do is ASK. 

If you are interested, give them a call.

Mahua Waterfall, Tambunan, Sabah Malaysia

Mahua Waterfall, Tambunan Sabah, Malaysia


We departed from Tenom (Sabah Agriculture Park - Previous Post) and decided to stop by Mahua Waterfall situated in Tambunan district. It took around 45 - 60 minutes drive (57 KM) from Keningau. If you would like to visit this place but do not know how to get there, try Google Map






This is how the entrance looks like and you will have to walk around 500 meters to get to the waterfall site, Along the way you will encounter animals like birds and insects, and canopy trees. They also made a few stations equipped with toilet, shower room and dustbin for your convenience.  







This is a very cool place for family recreation or even for self relaxation as the scenery is outstanding and calm. The water is freaking cold though.






We only stayed here for 40 minutes and we continue our journey to Kundasang, Ranau where we already booked our hotel at Zen Garden. We reached Kundasang around 4.30pm, checked in and rest. Our journey on the next day will be visiting the Mamut Mine, Ranau and Mesilau, Kundasang.

My friend and I made a day trip from Kota Kinabalu - Keningau - Tenom - Keningau - Tambunan - Ranau. We departed from K.K at 7am, drove through the Crocker Range road and arrived in Keningau at 9.30 am and decided to take our breakfast before moving to Tenom. Before reaching Keningau, you might want to consider to visit Manis Manis Nature Resort & Spa Hotel, Manis Manis "Rooftop of Borneo" Resort and Crocker Range Park, Keningau.

The park is open from Tuesday to Sunday and close on Monday. They will open the gate from 9 am to 5.30 am and the entrance fee is RM 10 for adult. (refer to the picture) Try to reach the park before 11 am so that you can ride the train provided for visitor to visit the Bee Farm (30 minutes by walking) unless you like to hike or you can rent a bicycle. We reached the park at 10.30 am and we spent an hour to take a walk in the Flower Park situated beside the management building before the train depart.
