Kunyit 7 Lodge

Kem was a fantastic host. We really enjoyed our stay :)

Very unique experience and lovely view from the property across the water. Breakfast was also great and we felt comfortable to come and go as we please. The host also connected us with a private driver to help us get to and from airports in other cities- the driver was fantastic!

Cash payment was inconvenient but host let us know ahead of time so we could stop at an ATM in Brunei before checking in.

A must place to stay when you are in Brunei !

We had a wonderful time during our stay, Andrew was incredibly welcoming and took wonderful care of us. His son even offered us a ride to the airport at the end of our stay. The location is simply amazing and we had a blast exploring Brunei from there.

The bedroom and bathroom weren’t that clean. Lots of dust on fans and wear and tear. Older house and three cats, so it wasn’t a big deal, just thought I’d mention a place for improvement.

Everything, excellent location, beautiful view, unique experience staying in the water village, easy to find, comfortable, great breakfast, AC. I can’t thank the hosts Andrew and Kem enough, I enjoyed it so much I’ve been recommending people go to Brunei to stay at the lodge! I’ve been travelling for months so don’t have much time to make reviews but have found time for this place. You won’t regret staying here 😊

No complaints

Amazing Center location with great view. The host was so attentive to details and helpful. Early breakfast was provided as I had multiple day trips and need to leave early. Overall stay felt like I visit my relatives 😊. Absolutely must stay here while in Bansar!!!

We have enjoyed every moment we stayed with Kem, Andrew and Martin, the whole family. Our chef Andrew made us delicious breakfast, so we won't go hungry and having trouble hunting for food during the day. Our host Kem gave professional ideas and suggestions about local tourism, and she kindly organized the mangrove trip for us in the morning. We saw proboscis monkeys, wild crocodiles, water birds and long tail monkeys during the trip and the charge is fair. Martin advised us about free parking information opposite the residence and it was safe to park there overnight. Our room is clean and comfy, just like home. All facilities are working perfectly, including fan and air-con to guarantee a good night sleep. And last, how can we not talk about the lovely cats? Countess looks after the house all day long, he likes to stay on the platform/balcony and enjoy the good view of the great Mosque from a distance, Buyong is the naughty young boy who adventures all night out and brings back half of a dead fish in the morning, and dear girl flea, she is white all over and so elegant, but likes to hide in the back storage room and she finally gets familiar with us on second day and allows us to pat her. Kem's house is full of art and inspirations, and full of the culture of water village, the only pity is she was training new guides, and we didn't get to spend too much time with her in the house. Location is perfect, the great Mosque and waterfront was just in front of your eyes. We rent a car and driving in Brunei is smooth like in Australia, road users are polite, obey rules and respect each others on the road. We even drove down to Seria to check on the oil fields.

Nothing.

THE CATS

We liked everything. From the begining, the communication from Kem and the welcoming of her husband Andrew was amazing. The location, the breakfast, the environment, the facilities, and everything was completely awesome. We strongly recommend this place to stay in Brunei!! 20 out of 10 :-)
