Accommodation Ratings
To assist with the selection of your accommodation we have created our own rating system allowing you to compare each property. These are personal ratings
offered by our people from their own experience and should therefore be used as a guide only. These ratings may alter throughout the year due to a change of
circumstances.
Moderate accommodation with a reasonable range of rooms and facilities, with rooms furnished to a comfortable standard.
Superior standard of accommodation with a wide range of rooms and facilities, and a higher standard of service.
First Class accommodation with an excellent range of facilities and services. Accommodation in this rating is considered among the best in
the country.
A half star is noted when the level of service and facilities falls between two grades. Grading accommodation can be quite subjective and generally speaking the
standard and services will be in line with the price paid. Please check with your Travel consultant to ensure you get the accommodation to best suit your needs.
Child Policy: Please note bedding configuration varies between properties and in some cases with different room types within a property. Some hotels also offer
family bonuses and specials. Your Travel consultant will help you choose the hotel to best suits you and your family’s needs.
Price Indicator: The price is provided as a guide only. The actual price may differ to that indicated in this brochure due to currency fluctuations, special events,
trade shows or peak periods. Your travel consultant will quote you the actual price at the time of booking. Per person pricing is based in New Zealand dollars.
Look out for our “gems” of information scattered throughout our Singapore, Malaysia & Borneo brochure.
General Information

An oasis in Singapore, Gardens
by the Bay is where art meets
nature. Spanning 250 acres, great
sculptures and huge conservatories
entwine with fascinating flora. A
sanctuary of calm on Singapore’s
startling waterfront.
Orang utans. Everyone loves these
cheeky orange apes. Explore
Malaysia’s Sepilok Orang Utan
Rehab Centre and visit the last wild
orang utans of northern Borneo.
As curious as they are cute, the
forest and peaceful atmosphere
is beneficially relaxing for both
visitors and residents alike.
Borneo’s Mulu Caves deep in
Sarawak’s Gunung Mulu National
Park is the world’s largest cave
passage and a spectacle of both
size and beauty. Then there’s the
Cameron Highlands, Malaysia’s
largest hill-station, with tea
plantations and strawberry farms,
the terrain’s an eye-pleaser.
Husbands, boyfriends and credit
cards all shudder when they
hear the name, but Singapore’s
Orchard Road is where you’ll find
international big brands. Then
there’s Mustafa Centre, a massive 24
hour department store reminiscent
of the emporiums of old.
Malls, malls and more malls, you
must be in Kuala Lumpur! Eight
malls are found in the city centre
alone, while 20 minutes away, in the
greater Klang Valley area, there are
12 additional shopping complexes to
keep you occupied.
If you’re more of a market peruser,
Malaysia’s Gaya Street Fair (Kota
Kinabalu) is a Sunday must-do.
Based in the area of Kota Kinabalu
in Sabah, sellers are already trading
by 6am. It gets hotter and more
colourful as the hours tick by;
prepare yourself for a bustling hub
of street chatter and local culture.
Attention Foodies! Become one with
nature
Shopaholics
beware!
In Singapore, the cooler evenings
are the perfect time to sample
local fare. Drop by the roadside
vendors in Chinatown and head
for Smith, Temple, Mosque and
Pagoda Streets. Smith Street is
pedestrianised and an exciting ‘Eat
Street’. It’s also a great spot for
tasty duck, and the Singaporean
specialty, chilli cooked crab.
Trying a Singapore Sling is a rite
of passage for most travellers.
Originating in Raffles Hotel
Singapore over a century ago,
frequent the Long Bar on the hotel’s
second floor and sling back a Sling.
In Malaysia, Penang’s Hawker Street
is street food supremacy. From Char
Kuay Teow to Roti Chanai, each
chef showcases their own unique
flavours. The options are endless
and the ambience electric. Air
conditioning there is not, but you’re
guaranteed to find an authentic
(albeit balmy) street scene.
6 TIPSfor your
Singapore,
Malaysia & Borneo
Holiday

Interactive and innovative,
Malaysia’s Legoland has
life-size figurines, thrilling rides
and quirky Lego activities both
adults and children will be in make-
believe heaven.
Animal lovers revel at The River
Safari; a river-themed zoo and
aquarium in Singapore, complete
with resident pandas. Also in
Singapore, you’ll find Adventure
Cove WaterparkTM
. As well as
waterslides, highlights include an
enormous lazy river, snorkelling
with fish and a wave pool. And if
you’re in Malaysia, Sunway Lagoon
Theme Park also entertains the
thrill-seekers.
For heights, Langkawi Sky Bridge is
a 125 metre giant found in Malaysia.
An engineering wonder, you’ll feel
like you’re walking in the clouds.
Then there’s the Singapore Flyer, a
huge Ferris wheel with a stunning
city backdrop.
Nowhere more-so than Singapore
does culture from the west collide
quite spectacularly with the east.
A melting pot of Colonial British,
Chinese, Indian and Malay history.
Singapore does have a conservative
approach to alcohol, but it hasn’t
stopped expats from opening a
number of great bars. Leisurely
lunches at Clarke, Robinson, and
Boat Quays will mostly be a western
affair, whereas Tiong Bahru Market
offers a great mix of traditional
delicacies. Singapore’s eclectic
juxtaposition can be seen from the
architecture in the sky to the food
on your plate.
For a cultural experience that’s
100% authentic, enquire about
a homestay with Borneo locals.
You’ll get to stay with a traditional
family, observe their way of life and
partake in many of the activities
that make up their day to day.
In Singapore spend a day by the sea.
The island resort of Sentosa plays
host to the popular Tanjong Beach
Club; a luxury beach club fronting
the water. Boasting a huge pool,
bar and sun loungers so comfy
they’ll swallow you whole, the
venue’s suitable for families,
couples, groups et al. Alternatively,
ride the Bumboat along the
Singapore River; the skyline views
are simply spectacular.
Malaysia’s Langkawi Beaches are the
kind of sandy havens that make you
sigh. It’s near enough impossible to
resist the perennially blue sea and
platinum white sand.
If you’d rather be below the water,
the island of Sipadan is a diver’s
dream location. Warm, calm and
with excellent visibility, there’s
a smorgasbord of marine life,
including more turtles than grains
of sand (not quite but almost). The
allure of Sipadan is unavoidable.

Known as the ‘Gateway to Asia’, Singapore is a vibrant tropical destination, world
renowned for its shopping, eateries, attractions, style and cleanliness. Whether you
head there for two days or ten, you’ll find no trip to the ‘Lion City’ is ever the same.
Not many cities in Asia can boast Singapore’s fascinating ethnic mix. Throughout
history, migration has left its stamp on the city’s culture. Visit the bright sari and
bangle stores in the old shop houses of Little India, and in Chinatown explore the
many antique stores or bargain hunt for silk. For the shopaholics, Orchard Road is
a must; the variety and quality here will leave you spoilt for choice. Allow plenty of
time, as you’ll be lucky to see half of it in one day.
With the huge developments recently around the Marina Bay area; the iconic
Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore Flyer and Gardens by the Bay. Not to mention
Resorts World®
hosting Universal Studios Singapore®
, and S.E.A. AquariumTM
, it is
no wonder people keep going back to this city time and time again.
The river plays host to plenty of fabulous bars and restaurants in the three popular
quay areas; Clarke Quay being the most famous, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay.
Although Singapore has come a long way over the past 10 years and now showcases
itself as a modern international city, you can’t leave without heading to Raffles
Hotel for High Tea or a legendary Singapore Sling; an experience that carries with it
generations of colonial history and tradition.

activity at all hours, you’ll find the most popular restaurants
and bars. Soak up the atmosphere as you stroll through the
retail shops and open-air bazaars.

Raffles Hotel for Singapore’s signature drink. Colonial
architecture, straw fans gently swaying and peanut shells on
the ground combine to make this an iconic experience.
Dempsey Hill – Once the site of military army barracks,
just a short distance from Orchard Road and set in
green surrounds, is a hip cluster of wining and dining
establishments, art galleries, antique furniture stores and
weekend farmers markets.

From stunning beaches and islands with world class snorkelling and diving, to the
vast rainforest and national parks abundant with wildlife, mixed with the amazing
cuisine, great shopping and friendly people. Malaysia makes for a great holiday
destination no matter what your tastes are.
Comprising of three distinct parts, Peninsula Malaysia and the two island states
of Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia on the island of Borneo, are areas all well
developed, yet rich and varied in cultural tradition.
Kuala Lumpur is the focal point of Malaysia and the nation’s capital. The action here
lies in the city centre dubbed the ‘Golden Triangle’ – a madcap mix of modern hotels
and large shopping complexes complemented by traces of its British colonial past and
cultural beliefs.
The islands of Penang and Langkawi on the west coast of the peninsula are renowned
for their relaxed atmosphere and beautiful beaches. Penang, the food capital of
Malaysia, offers Batu Ferringhi Beach and the night bazaar in the evening along with
Georgetown, unmistakably Chinese with a colonial architectural influence. Langkawi,
an archipelago of islands, is blessed with many natural features, stunning waterfalls,
tropical jungles and pristine sandy beaches, not to mention its duty free status.
On the east coast of the peninsula, slightly lesser known islands of Tioman, Redang
and the Perhentian Islands also offer some fantastic island escapes. Renowned for
their white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters and abundant marine life, they are
fast becoming ‘must-dos’ for underwater enthusiasts, or those who just want to laze
around on an exotic tropical island.

Dior here. But the local markets are where you really want to be. You’ll
find everything you could possibly want all sold under the same roof.
Beaches – Penang offers Batu Ferringhi Beach and Langkawi, an
archipelago of islands, is blessed with many pristine sandy beaches
Batu Ferringhi Night Bazaar – Stretching up to 1 kilometre with over
100 stalls. Featuring everything from clothes to homeware to handcrafted
items.
Langkawi Mangroves – The best way to see the UNESCO accredited
wilderness of Kilim Geoforest Park is by boat. The wildlife along the rivers
are not what you’d expect and if you’re lucky you’ll see the deaf and blind
Venomous Mangrove Viper sleeping in the trees.
Georgetown – A UNESCO World Heritage-site, with a fusion of eastern
and western influences. Featuring modern architecture as well as
embracing its colonial traditions, the well-preserved heritage buildings
are something not to be missed.

A perfect destination for those looking for an adventure, Borneo is home to some
of the world’s oldest rainforests and spectacular diving sites. Favourite pastimes here
include trekking through the jungle, bird watching and looking out for exotic wildlife.
Malaysian Borneo makes up the northern half of the island of Borneo, with the southern
region being part of Indonesia. Split into two Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak,
both offer unique experiences.
Sabah is the perfect place to start in this land of eco treasures. Untouched and unspoilt,
Sabah’s heart is Mt.Kinabalu, an impressive granite peak stretching 4,100 metres. Any
triptoSabahisnotcompletewithatleastawalkroundthebaseofthisfamousmountain.
Witness the ‘wild man of Borneo’ – the orang utan, at Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation
Centre, the largest sanctuary in the world or offshore head out to the Turtle Islands
where environmental projects are underway to help the ancient sea turtles.
The heart of Sarawak is its rainforests and the large rivers that feed in and out of it.
With a vast network of national parks, it is a great place to explore the jungle, cave
systems, wildlife and amazing flora and fauna found in these parts. It is also home to
many unique and fascinating tribal cultures, including the infamous headhunters.
There are numerous ethnic groups found throughout both states, the people are warm
and friendly and enjoy many colourful festivals and traditions that will take you back
centuries. If different culture fascinates you, engage in some customs with a stay in a
longhouse. Sip on ‘lihiing’, their potent rice wine, no doubt leaving you with lasting
memories or not! For those who prefer to laze the day away, there are many stunning
beach resorts that dot the coastline.

The Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre –
Located in Sandakan, this rehabilitation centre was set up in
1964 to rehabilitate orphaned orang utan. Watch the orang
utan up close in their natural habitat. A boardwalk leads to a
viewing gallery and feeding platform where the orang utan
are fed milk and bananas twice a day. While rehabilitation
is the main goal here, the creation of the reserve also
minimises the impact of deforestation.
Sipadan – If you are a keen diver, this is the place to
go. Formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct
volcano, this area is now rated by many dive journalists as
one of the top diving destinations in the world. It is located
in the Celebes Sea off the east coast of Sabah.
Gaya Street Fair – Every Sunday in Kota Kinabalu, Gaya
Street is closed off to traffic so traders can set up their stalls.
Shop for anything, from batik sarongs, fruits and flowers,
arts and crafts, to footwear, antiques and souvenirs. If you
like coffee, pick up some local Tenom coffee.
Mulu Caves – This spectacular cave system, deep in
Sarawak’s Gunung Mulu National Park near Miri, has over
200 kilometres of cave passages. Over millennia the flow
of water has cut deep gorges through the Park’s limestone
mountains and within the rock itself, creating a network of
vast caves. The main underground attractions of the Mulu
Caves include Clearwater Cave, the longest cave in South
East Asia, and Deer Cave.
Selingan Island – On the east coast of Sabah, stay
overnight at the lodge so you can see turtles come ashore to
lay eggs 365 nights of the year. It is one of the most important
turtle breeding spots in South East Asia.

favourites.

Just 10 minutes from Kota Kinabalu International Airport the resort is
set in 25 acres of award-winning gardens along the sweeping bay, with a

meets the Sulu Sea and the inhabitants have retained much of their
traditional way of life.
Visit the World Heritage-site, Kinabalu Park – a natural wonder that

within the park. The jagged granite peaks of Mt. Kinabalu tower above
one of the most biologically diverse areas in the world.
