Stay in the
real rainforest,
with the people
who grew up
running it.

Peraya is a small Bidayuh village in Padawan, Sarawak. We host a few guests at a time, so every stay is personal.

01 — Who we are

We are a Bidayuh family who opened our village to a few guests at a time, twenty years ago. Most of our visitors come once and write to us for years afterwards.

The river

The Sirin runs clear and cold from the mountains. We protect it from fishing and feed the fish from the bank. You raft it on bamboo we cut and cured ourselves.

The longhouse

Wood and bamboo, mattresses and fans, mosquito screens on every window. Showers and toilets are next door. Simple, clean, real.

The food

Most of what you eat with us comes from within an hour's walk: midin ferns, river fish, jungle herbs, rice. Cooked the old way in bamboo tubes.

02 — Beyond the village

Borneo eco-tours,
guided by us.

Pair your stay with a guided trip beyond the kampung — or book any of these as a standalone day. Same family, same standards, twenty years of knowing where to go.

05 — From the village

The photo log.

Notes and pictures from the kampung — river updates, who's visiting, what's blooming. The closest you'll get to being here without being here.
