Me and my besties stayed for 3d2n. The place is basic but practical. I very much appreciate that there are so many toilets and filtered water everywhere. It is very thoughtful. I love that there are a few spots where we can put a mat, lie down and watch the stars. The 6 storeys tall tower is fantastic. Great view from there. I'm so glad and grateful such a place exists that we get to leave the city and spend some time in nature. I would love to come back again and again. I deeply admire the farm owner Mr Tam's perseverance, dedication and kindness in keeping this place going. The staffs are so friendly and helpful. My thanks to Mr Yap and both Mr Tam (the brothers) and all the staffs for a very nice stay. Just a suggestion, it would be better if they sell some drinks and maybe food like cup noodles, snacks etc.

Absolutely enjoyable rustic experience for city dwellers. Very big compound, perfect for 2-3 days leisure trip. Small and old kids loved it here! Stone chalet was clean and spacious. Don’t expect it to be bug free tho. View of night sky was rather clear. Extremely warm hospitality from Mr Yap and resort owner ☺️ Makes you feel at home. Resident cats and dogs roam freely. Wildlife is abundant, you may even catch a glimpse of tapirs if lucky! Booking made via WhatsApp.

Large 180 acres eco place near to beautiful Desaru beach, Mr Tam has plans for the place that is self sustainable with full ecological environment to coexist with surrounding jungle to have both fauna and flora for the able senior citizens

Back for my second visit, and Koref Desaru Leisure Farm still impresses. With one of the largest farm grounds in the area, it’s packed with fun: flying fox, water slides, obstacle courses, kayaking, and seasonal rice harvesting. You’ll also find rare, hands-on experiences like fish feeding, duck egg collection, ostrich farm, geese farm visits, and charcoal bread baking. A new highlight: their 6-storey viewing deck offers stunning sunrise and sunset views over Desaru—truly breathtaking. We stayed at the stone house, which comes with two queen beds and a single. It’s rustic, peaceful, and surrounded by nature—perfect for unplugging and recharging. We heard from Teacher Yap that air-conditioning is on the way. Looking forward to their better amenities next year! Special thanks to Mr. Tam and Teacher Yap for being such attentive and thoughtful hosts. Teacher Yap went above and beyond to make sure our kids were well taken care of—even cheering up our cranky toddler with balloons and balls. We truly appreciate the warm hospitality throughout our 3D2N stay. Evenings are relaxed with trampoline, badminton, basketball, and table tennis at the hall. Koref is a hidden gem for families and adventure lovers—definitely worth discovering.
