Bayu Senja Lodge, Kundasang Sabah

Today we’re heading deep into the cool mountains of Kundasang to stay at one of the most peaceful lodges in the area Bayu Senja Lodge.

This place is known for its stunning sunset views, quiet atmosphere, and the kind of cozy mountain retreat feeling that just helps you reset. I’ve heard a lot of good things about the view and the ambience, so I can’t wait to show you around. Let’s enjoy the drive Kundasang never disappoints.

We just reached Bayu Senja Lodge, and the first thing you’ll notice is how calm everything is. The lodge is tucked slightly away from the main road, so all you hear is nature the wind, the rustling trees, and birds everywhere. The air here feels cleaner, cooler and honestly it’s such a refreshing change from city life.

Let’s go check in. The reception area is simple but warm, with friendly staff who will help you with the basics — room location, check-out time, and a few tips about catching the best sunset angles around the lodge. Everything is quick and easy. Now that we’ve got the keys, let’s head to the room.

Welcome to our room at Bayu Senja Lodge.

The moment you step inside, it feels like a cozy mountain cabin — wooden touches, warm tones, and everything arranged neatly.

Let me show you around in detail:

🛏️ Bedroom Area

Comfortable bed with thick blankets

Soft pillows (very important in cold weather!)

Clean, simple décor that fits the nature vibe

🧺 Storage & Essentials

Small wardrobe or hanging rack for your clothes

A table for your luggage or camera gear

Good lighting for nighttime

🚿 Bathroom

And this is the bathroom — clean and well maintained.

Most importantly, there’s hot shower, which is crucial because Kundasang nights can get really cold.

Trust me, you’re going to appreciate this.

Now let me show you the best part of this room… the balcony. Just look at this view. Rolling hills, layers of clouds, and the entire valley stretching out in front of you. If the sky is clear, you can sometimes see Mount Kinabalu standing tall right from here. It feels like you’re floating above the clouds.

Let’s go explore the surroundings.

Bayu Senja has spacious outdoor areas where you can walk, take photos, or just sit and relax. There are benches around, perfect for watching the sunset or simply taking in the cool air. The entire place feels peaceful and slow like time moves differently here.

And now the moment everyone talks about sunset at Bayu Senja.

The name literally means ‘evening breeze’, and you can definitely feel it.

As the sun begins to set, the hills turn golden, the sky slowly shifts from orange to pink, and sometimes you get a sea of clouds covering the valley below. This is honestly one of the most beautiful sunset spots in Kundasang.

Pause for natural ambient sounds. If you're someone who loves peaceful moments, this place is perfect. 

Night at Bayu Senja Lodge has a totally different vibe. The temperature drops, the air becomes crisp, and the whole lodge gets quiet. It’s the kind of night where you just want a hot drink, a thick sweater, and a peaceful moment on the balcony listening to nature. You can see the lights from nearby villages glowing softly, and the sky is sometimes clear enough to see stars.

Good morning from Bayu Senja Lodge!

Waking up here is honestly magical. You open the door and step out to cool mist floating around the lodge, clouds moving through the valley, and soft morning light. Some mornings, Mount Kinabalu makes a surprise appearance when the sky clears up.
