ABOUT US

This century-old forest reserve began its metamorphosis into Gibbon Retreat in 2012 with the Lem Family’s vision to protect the threatened Dipterocarp tree species whilst providing an accessible eco-tourism destination as a remedy to the frenetic lifestyle of the city.

Our mission is to harmoniously unite the needs of humanity and nature by providing a naturally-enriched forest experience for our guests thus fostering a deeper respect for their surrounding environment.

THINGS TO DO

At Gibbon Retreat you are the master of your own time. Maybe time stands still as you float in the tranquil rock pool or lounge in the shade of your tree deck. Or maybe time speeds up as you hike up the mountainside wading across the Sungei Mengai and to the waterfalls, following the call of the wild.

RE-WILD

When was the last time your fur-baby felt mud between its toes or frolicked through a pile of leaves? Like humans, the absence of nature in the lives of our pets causes unnatural levels of stress. Treat them to little bit of ‘wild therapy’ and let them roam with our retreat pets.

INSPIRED

I spent a night there just to get away from the city, and I'm already thinking about going back there again. It was so refreshing to just relax for a bit.
The lush green surroundings, the soothing sound of the rain and the nearby creek all inspired me to start writing again.
The staff was incredibly helpful before I even arrived, providing lots of useful information about how to get there, who to contact if we are there, and what to expect in case of cold weather.

BEAUTY OF NATURE

I had an amazing two-day and one-night getaway here, immersing myself in the beauty of nature alongside my sibling.
The cozy tent provided a perfect night's sleep, and we could hear the soothing sounds of insects outside without any mosquito disturbances.
Despite the rough access road, the experience was amazing. The attentive service included ample drinking water and warm blankets, ensuring we stayed comfortable throughout. Plus, the rooms and bathrooms were impeccably clean, adding to the overall enjoyable stay.

PET FRIENDLY

We had a great experience staying in Gibbon Retreat! Staff was friendly and direct us all the way from entrance to our chalet.
We brought our dog and stayed in the Rock Pool Chalet and everything is in place as mentioned on their website.
All the utensils were provided and clean (Very Important)!! Their dogs were friendly and just patiently waiting for us to share the food with them.
Share some love to them please! Will definitely return for another short getaway in the nature!

CLEAN & WELL EQUIPPED

One of the best retreats I've ever been. It's clean and fully stocked with everything you need (utensils, mosquito coil, water). The staff are all friendly and helpful and it's very convenient that we can order food through them. Will def come back.

EXCEPTIONAL

This is definitely a good place to go if you're seeking a quiet getaway with your loved ones. It is nestled in the middle of the jungle. You get your own privacy as each chalet is located far apart from each other. The place is pet friendly, staffs are friendly and helpful. Check-in and check-out procedures are simple. Basic cooking utensils are provided as well, you can make your own meals while staying there.

A COMFY STAY

We stayed at the Tree Top Chalet. The place is spacious and we had a tent set up for the kids' first experience sleeping in a tent! The place is well equipped with all the appliances one would need to have a very comfortable stay. They certainly went all out to make sure their guests have a pleasant experience!
