The Secret Sanctuary

On my recent trip back to good ol' Kuching, I was introduced to this awesome place called The Secret Sanctuary. In the marketing pamphlet it is positioned as a boutique cottage .... in reality it is a mini-hotel, a restaurant, a showcase of Sarawak architectural design, a chill out joint and a place to get connected to nature. Filled with rustic furnishings, native designs and much greenery, it is certainly a good place to relax and meditate.

The place is located off that big roundabout near Stutong Market, Kuching Specialist Hospital and ICAT College. You should take the road which leads to ICAT College, near the Nissan showroom.  Anyway I think there's a little map in the pamphlet which I'll take a picture of ...

Well, here's one of the attractions ...

We had a delicious dinner here - an eclectic blend of native and Chinese food, so appropriate for Borneo. This is obviously quite a popular place. That evening we were there, there was a big Halloween Function in one of the halls, and we could also see quite a few tables with diners and in addition, there were other Japanese or Korean tourists strolling around the place.

Here's the pamphlet giving more details of the place ...

Finally there's a cute little doggy named Barry and a couple of fat cats, belonging to the owner.

I recommend you guys check out the place - either to stay, have dinner or as a venue for parties or corporate functions. Call Cyril Lim at +6019 888 8986 or email him at cyril@thesecretsanctuary.com.

I think I may come back and stay a few days at The Secret Sanctuary to work on my next book.
