“The concept alone-sleeping in repurposed concrete culverts-piqued my interest, and the reality seems to deliver a quirky, eco-conscious stay near Kuching. Nestled amid primary forest with its own beach, the location strikes me as ideal for couples seeking tranquility and natural beauty, even if the unique room design presents some spatial challenges. Overall, it seems a worthwhile experience, especially for those who appreciate sustainable design and serene beachfront settings.”
