Peraya Homestay · Padawan · Sarawak · est. 2006
We are a Bidayuh family who opened our homestay to guests in 2006, offering responsible ecotourism rooted in the local way of life.
Peraya Homestay is owned and run by a Bidayuh family. Every visit supports the families of Kampung Peraya.
We protect the Sirin river and surrounding rainforest. Sustainable practices are not a feature — they are how we live.
Kampung Peraya, Padawan, Sarawak — a Bidayuh village in the hills south of Kuching.
A traditional family home experience. Each room accommodates up to 6 persons with a family-style layout — ideal for groups who want to feel part of village life.
An authentic bamboo structure set in the jungle — the most immersive way to experience Peraya. Wake up surrounded by rainforest, steps from the river.
Minimum booking: 2 persons for all accommodation types.
The Bidayuh are among the indigenous peoples of Sarawak, Borneo — known as the "Land Dayak" and recognised for their warm hospitality and rich material culture. Peraya village sits within a Bidayuh community that has lived in the Padawan highlands for generations.
Guests share in traditional Bidayuh culture — music, crafts, and village life passed down through generations.
Food is cooked in bamboo tubes over open fire — an ancient technique that gives rice and fish a flavour impossible to replicate elsewhere.
The Sirin river is the heartbeat of Peraya — bamboo rafting, river walks, and quiet moments on the bank are all part of the stay.
