The consummate jungle lodge, Sepilok Nature Lodge is hidden amid dense tropical vegetation including hug trees and rare blooming orchids. Steep-roofed wooden bungalows offer roomy accommodations within walking distance of the famous Sepilok Orangutan Sanctuary. The fully air-conditioned chalets have forest views from individual verandas. Interiors have glossy hardwood floors, a high beamed ceiling, comfortable beds with crisp cotton linens, and private baths with stone soaking tubs. Walk along elevated wooden boardwalks among 150 orchid varieties in the lavish surrounding gardens before heading to the patio deck to dine overlooking a lake backdropped by dense rain forest.
