Peaceful Highland Stay: Gathering Village, Kundasang — A Cozy Choice for Your Next Staycation
If you're planning a trip to Kundasang, Sabah, consider staying at Gathering Village for a calm, colorful, and cool highland escape.
What the place feels like
Gathering Village is surrounded by vibrant, living flowers, creating a tranquil and refreshing atmosphere that's ideal for relaxing and "healing" away from city life.
Views and temperature
The property sits fairly high, so you'll often see the peak of Mount Kinabalu rather than the whole mountain, which still gives a soothing mountain view—especially in the morning.
Expect cool weather: on arrival around 6 PM after rain the temperature felt about 16°C, and nights get colder; rooms include water heaters so hot showers aren't a problem.
Facilities and suitability
- Kitchen & BBQ: Outdoor BBQ set and a kitchen are available, making the place great for self-catering, family gatherings, or trips with friends.
- Room amenities: Clean, spacious rooms with basic comforts and water heaters for cold nights.
- Good for groups: The layout and facilities suit family reunions or larger groups who want a comfortable communal stay.
Booking & price notes
Price details weren't clear because the stay was part of a package including ground transport; you can request Gathering Village specifically when booking a package or try to reserve it directly if arranging your own travel.
Overall impression
The experience is highly satisfying for those seeking a peaceful, cool, and colorful retreat with mountain views—a perfect short escape from busy urban life.
