Everything about our stay at Poseidon House was wonderful. From the beginning when we made our first enquiry the level of support and information provided was of the highest quality. The booking process was easy and payment terms were very reasonable and flexible. The information provided by the owners about the house and the region was great and really helpful to help us plan and get excited. This included detailed and accurate directions from some of Borneos large towns.

On arrival the house was everything we had hoped it would be and was exactly what we had seen in the photos. It was beautifully presented and perfectly ready for our arrival.

The staff at the house were amazingly helpful and frankly made the stay as wonderful as it was. They provided great service and were very ameniable to our requirments, They also were wonderful guides and sensational cooks!

The town of Kudat itself is fairly simple but had everything one could need only a short drive away and with a house this nice why would you want to leave?!

We highly recommend Posiedon House for your stay in the region. It really is as wonderful as it looks and provides that touch of luxury we were after.

We spent 4 days in the Poseidon House and would have loved to stay longer. We were five adults and a two year old and had the best time. Everything was absolutely perfect, from the introduction by the owner over phone, email and skype, to the setting and the house itself, the cleanliness and the staff.

The house is just stunning and the photos really does not do it justice. And the maid deserves a special mention, she is just fabulous and her cooking is brilliant.

We would love to come back!

We stayed at Poseidon House during our children's (ages 13, 11, and 9) spring break week, and we all absolutely loved it!

The drive from Kota Kinabalu is about 2.5 hours, and the kids were getting a little antsy by the time we got to Kudat. But as soon as we got to Poseidon House, their restlessness changed into sheer excitement. The house and grounds are so exotic and beautiful, the setting is just picture-postcard perfect, and the accommodations are absolutely first-class. We were all captivated from the minute we arrived.

The amazing thing about Poseidon House is that it is even lovelier than the photos on the website would suggest! And the photos make it look pretty nice. We were a little worried that the actual house wouldn't quite compare with the images on the website, but that was not a problem at all. The furnishings and decor are all extremely tasteful and well done.

Then there is the pool! It is much bigger and even nicer than we thought, based on the photos. It was almost impossible for us to get our kids out of the pool -- they were completely enchanted by it. You really have to experience the setting to appreciate how amazing the house and pool are.

On top of that, you have a kilometer or so of what is essentially a private beach at your disposal. The beach is perfect for collecting shells (hundreds of them!), swimming, snorkeling, checking out the critters in the tide pools, etc. We had a bit of stormy weather during our stay, and the wind and waves stirred up quite a bit of sand and silt that clouded the water. But on the calm days, the water was crystal clear and visibility was excellent.

The town of Kudat is definitely not a major vacation destination. However, it has all the necessities, and as the website suggests, we enjoyed driving into town and going to the fish market to pick out our dinner. Everyone was quite friendly and helpful. If you're looking for a place to really get far away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life, Poseidon House and Kudat are ideal.

Perhaps the best part of Poseidon House, though, is how friendly and helpful the owners are. They offered helpful, accurate advice about literally every part of our trip. They went out of their way to make our trip convenient and worry-free. It was one of the best vacations we have ever had, and we can't wait to go back again!

We had a truly wonderful time. Website pictures and description provide excellent overview. We will return!

All is excellent! The magnificent house. Excellent rest. Careful owners!

Like something from a James Bond scene Poseidon's House erupts out of the rock promontory that it sits on. I can almost see Ian Fleming sitting on the large veranda, overlooking a tropical beach ocean view that would challenge any wide angle lense, penning his latest Bond novel.

I've stayed here twice when traveling with Borneo Biking Adventures. I remember my first impression of entering through the gate and up the drive through the landscaped surroundings up to the house and then out onto the veranda. After a long day riding to sit outside and stare out over the beautiful view was truly intoxicating.

The house itself is a beautiful setting for relaxing and exploring the area around Kudat and beyond. The property is immaculately turned out. My bedroom suite in particular was fantastic with the rock that the house is built on providing one wall to the suite, which added character to the rooms and makes it truly unique. I could have happily stayed there much longer.

The property doesn't stop with the landscaped grounds, beautiful house and pool area but extends down to a private beach and reef. This fantastic opportunity to snorkel completely undisturbed for hours simply adds to the feeling that the property is like something out of a Bond movie.

The sense of privacy and the luxurious surroundings make this a truly stunning place to stay.

I have stayed at Poseidon House house a number of times but recently stayed in May with my sister and a girl friend. We had a great time relaxing, Swimming, snorkeling and chilling on the beach. It's a beautiful place with a lovely setting, everything any person could want in a great hideaway with no one around.
