Wonderful resort at foothill of Gunung Santubong”
My wife and me enjoyed the stay here. Creative design, room is in rounded cement cell, but a little less spacious. Room, bed sheet, towel and washroom are all very clean. Staff are friendly, from customer service to kitchen staff. Nice facilities with swimming pool overlooking the sea, sauna room, gym and a viewing deck with very nice sun set view. Walking distance to Sarawak Cultural Village. Overall , it's a wonderful resort.

By far best beach hotel in Kuching!”
Expected a small room for a culvert. But then again, their facilities are superb! You got a good access to the beach, unlimited swimming pool time, best lunch and dinner, great environment, free access to gym, reading room for nature lover, and great place for rest and relaxation. Currently the best package for me and my wife. Thank you Culvert!

First time American Traveler to Malaysia. ”
I was absolutely inspired by the beauty of the Culvert, the surrounding are, and the unbelievably fantastic and superb service that was provided to us from arrival to departure. Everyone made you feel like family and this place is not to be missed. If only I could live in one of these for the rest of my life. The free breakfast was plentiful, the pool, and sauna were refreshing, and their new beachfront suites soon to be open look even better than the Sea View Suites we have. I would come here over and over again and can’t wait to tell everyone The Culvert is a place for everyone to stay. Thank you for blessing me with this opportunity to stay with you. I’m humbled and grateful for everyone at The Culvert who works so hard to provide a unique and rewarding travel experience. Sincerely, Jason Graves-Klaric Baltimore Maryland USA

Beautiful nature”
A much needed place in kuching, blended well with the beautiful nature of Sarawak. I love how they don’t remove the trees instead work around it which makes the place extraordinary. There’s no place like this in kuching. However, I do wish they could come up with more creative way for the room because its very small, people who are taller, bigger in size will have a hard time being the standard room 🤣

Back into nature”
We are amazed how on earth there are people who are talented enough to transform this round shape cements into room. We're glad that the room wasn't move around during the stay. However, if the space can be enlarge a little will be nice for the person in XXL size. The room even comes with a Tab which connected to Internet. That's really nice. Bathroom that attached at the back makes convenient for us to go in and out during night time too. The location is incredible, we got to stay in room that have sea view. The air is good due to there are forest at our back. Forest and sea all together, this is strategic location. Staffs are friendly welcoming us to the premises, the security is well guarded, only guests are allowed to be in the premises. My partner and I are satisfied with the stays. And will definitely come back again as well as introduce friends and families to have a short getaway there too.

Clean and Something Unique”
The Culvert is something different for sure than the usual chalet like accommodation type for a hotel. Room is clean, space-wise.. it is a culvert..Lol! We got a deluxe queen room so, space is just nice to sleep in but not to hangout in the room. There's places to hangout in the surrounding area; there's the pools, the beach area and lookout points area to enjoy nature. Overall, it is a wonderful experience and we get to spend time well with each other

Event Angels!”
We booked without knowing that they offered shuttle van to events in Damai. Although we were not informed upon check in, the shuttle driver was very accommodating to take us to venue & back. Kudos to Culvert team for the great improvements too, as we were here before (early 2019).

Exceptional”
Nice helpful friendly staff. Room is tiny but clean. But the air con does take awhile to cool down the room. Food is good but the dinner buffet we encountered was mostly spicy so it wasn't suitable for children. Oh and mosquito repellent is a MUST!

Nature lover will definitely love it!”
Perfect location, surrounding. You can enjoy beach and forest at the same time. The view of sunrise n sunset is stunning! The decoration is beautiful where instagrammers will love it. But the room is quite pack will little space to keep ur belongings. Make sure to bring mosquito repellent if u dont like to be bite by one. At night will have more mosquitoes than daytime. Suitable for escaping from the city but u still enjoying good internet as it is only 20minutes away from the city. A lot of seafood restaurant nearby and u can also go to kampung buntal to enjoy delicious seafood which is just 10minutes drive. U can also go to damai beach which is so near to the culvert. There is also dinner being served up until 9pm everyday.

Romantic Place To Be With A Special One”
I spent the night here with my partner for our anniversary and it was indeed one of the most memorable place to be at. Went in mid February, just before MCO began, so there wasn't many visitors at that time, we sort of had the place to ourselves, thus it was a wonderful escapade for us. If you are looking for a place to escape the busy city life, then this is definitely your secret sanctuary. Unless you have issues with the limited bedroom space, then better not stay here, especially for those who feels claustrophobic very easily. As for my partner and I, we didn't mind the crammed space, it was just nice for us. Service was tip top, and their staffs were so wonderful during our stay. Would love to escape here again someday!

Great place to enjoy nature”
I had great experience here. Staff are friendly and helpful. The foods offers are nice I did try pizza and chicken chop, I wish they could open to public to dine in. I know due to security reasons outsiders are not allowed to go inside the property area. For muslim, i suggest upgrade to King Suite so u can have space to perform prayers in the rooms. The sunset view are magnificent facing Satang Island. No TV but dont worries they provide tablet inside the room to watch Netflix. Hot waters... have to walk to the coffee house to get some.. so bring your own tumblers in case u need to make your coffees/tea. Get ready your mosquitoe repellent just in case. During my stay i dont have any problems with mosquitoes. Keep up with good attitude and friendly staff. I will be back to stay again here to get my Chicken Chop hahaha..will come again

No complaints”
Stayed the night with my partner and we both enjoyed our stay. The rooms were clean, bed and pillows were EXTREMELY comfortable. The grounds were well maintained and you can see staff actually take their work seriously. Breakfast was simple but was well prepared. Would definitely go back. Sunset at the beach is amazing.

A quiet haven ”
I absolutely love how the place just screams relaxation. Accompanied by the sea view, wave sound and the quietness of a nature, it's a great escape from the hustle and bustle of city. Since this was my first stay here, I didn't expect the mosquitoes when I went down the beach. So prepare something for that if you're planning a trip here. It would have been a 10/10 if the rooms were properly cleaned prior to guest's check in. I noticed some lizard droppings on the table and that wasn't a pleasant view. The wifi router wasn't functioning well during my visit, so the connection was weak in my room. But Food was really good and the staffs were super friendly and helpful. The bed and pillows were extremely comfy and the resort compound was very well kept. There were trashcan everywhere so no reason to throw your rubbish around. Would recommend this place to anyone who wishes to seek some quiet time from the hustle and bustle of city.

Best Stay outside of Kuching”
Our staycation at The Culvert was perhaps one of out best stays around Kuching so far. The rooms are as you see it - culvert-sized - but the facilities and all exceed expectations! The Tanju restaurant and bistro also exceeds expectations, with big portions and well cooked Western and Asian offerings. There really is no need to leave the resort area during our short stay as we enjoyed the pool, beach, sauna, deck and gym facilities to the fullest. Thanks for making our staycation one of the more memorable ones!
