We are a home in a village, sharing experience. We do not have 5 star facilities but we have 3 loving residents cats inhouse. Please take extra care when you are going up and down the steps of the waterfront or any jetty as it can be very slippery. It is advisable that you do not carry heavy luggage bags as it could be a challenge for you to carry them when the tide is low and when the steps are slippery. Our home is built on this site which belongs to the family since 1926. The current house is 40 years old.We have been open to visitors since 2015 and have closed to 1400 visitors from 60 countries. Be advised that we are a home / Lodge and NOT a hotel. We reside here too. We don't have a TV but you will definitely have a strong bonding time while you are here. You can check us on our Fb n IG page Kunyit 7 Lodge. Payment is cash upon check in Brunei or Singapore dollars only . No credit card. Part of the rate will us to sustain our home for maintenance.
