I was apprehensive in booking my stay after reading about the road conditions. However, I am glad I took the leap of faith. My group was the only occupant on the property and we enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings. The weather was on our side and we managed to catch a beautiful sunset and sunrise with Mr Kinabalu from our balconies! Food can be ordered beforehand. Every cabin has a cooking area as well and you can pick up fresh groceries from the roadside stalls on the way up and cook up a hearty meal! Communication with the property manager, Andrew, was pleasant. He is conversant in English and took the initiative to provide detailed instructions to make our stay a comfortable one. He was also very responsive to queries. I'd recommend this place for its fantastic views over My Kinabalu. This place does not offer luxury and it is definitely not suited for everyone - please inquire with the owner and set your expectations right! The road leading to the property may appear treacherous and not well maintained. However, all it requires is some thoughtful driving and patience to navigate the roads. All the trouble and stress would be forgotten once you lay your eyes on the vista of Mt Kinabalu from the comfort of your balcony!

Himbaan Gardenstay is a Hidden gem nestled in Ranau, it comes with an amazing view of Mt KK from the massive room window. The tiny house comes with all that is needed for a comfortable stay. Comfortable bed and pillows. Good water pressure, heater works fine as well. Kitchen is equipped with the basics to whip up meals. Bbq pit is conveniently located right beside the tiny house. Do remember to buy your groceries, condiments and bbq stuff before heading over. Supermarket is a 30+min drive from bnb. Was well taken care by Andrew and his staff. They gave suggestions on where and what to visit and helped booked a guided hike to Maragang hill even though it was at the last min. Kudos to Andrew and his staff for making the stay enjoyable.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with breathtaking natural beauty, Himbaan Homestay is an absolute gem. Tucked away in a secluded location, it offers a sense of serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere. One of the highlights is the stunning view of Mount Kinabalu waking up to that majestic sight every morning felt like a dream. The homestay itself is clean, cozy, and well thought out. The rooms are spacious with comfortable beds that made for a restful sleep after a long day of exploring. We also appreciated the kitchen area, which was well-equipped for light cooking perfect for preparing breakfast or a simple dinner while enjoying the cool mountain air. What makes Himbaan truly special is the atmosphere it’s healing, calming, and deeply connected to nature. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down and breathe. Whether you’re here to unwind, spend quality time with loved ones, or just reconnect with yourself, this place delivers. We will definitely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a refreshing and soul soothing getaway in Sabah.

I wish more people come here and experience the beauty from this point of view. Though i wasn’t lucky during my stay here due to the cloudy weather, but this place is just as good as Kundasang. The road wasn’t actually that bad but a long ride away from the crowded spot was worth the scenery. So much space for car park and even a reception to purchase all the necessity for BBQ. Reliable and friendly staffs. Give a try!
