Labang Longhouse’s Bario Lodge Facilities:
It’s not quite a luxury hotel, but it has many modest facilities and ammenities in the compound. There’s a fish pond for guests to fish their meals, and if they like, a garden patch to pick their greens.
Meals at the lodge are served in the huge verandah, and it enjoys a magnificient panoramic view of the Kelabit mountains from its wide veranda. From there you get to eat your meals, watch the sunset, enjoy your tea and write your memoirs.
One unique feature to the lodge is its indoor open-fire pit. Here, guests would sit on the foor after dinner and chat into the night, next to the fire, with a glass of Lodge’s own fruit wine.
The lodge also and has its own conference facilities, thus it is an ideal venue for meetings, retreats, seminars, conferences, workshops and youth camps.
Lodge Management:
The Lodge is owned and managed by David and Lucy Labang, and by their son, David Jr. The owners are experienced retired educators and conservationists, fluent speakers of English, Malay and Kelabit with expert traditional knowledge on culture, history, language, and wildlife. They are ideal resources for researchers on indigenous knowledge. In addition, you will be entertained at the bario lodge, by David’s endless repertoire of jokes.
