Magellan Sutera Harbour, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

Wow, I am back in Sabah. What a pleasant surprise, never thought i'll step back to KK so soon, with #keflinursulhi just turned 8 months, it's really hard to tell. Cause travelling with infants requires a lot of preparation and detail planning such as if the location is suitable for infant, accomodation ? Logistics?



This time around because i was going for work purposes the date did not collide with school break. Thus my sister decline my offer and mom didn't want to tag along cause my youngest brother ( her cheperon) is currently pursuing his MA at Taylor's and it's not term break either.

So that's sorted. I asked my husband 2 months prior to this trip if he would take up the challenge and follow me to Sabah. I have to attend to some work matters there and didn't want to leave the kids behind. It will be too rush to make it a day trip plus it would be a waste to not take the opportunity to visit Sabah since i'm already there. His challege is to babysit the kids, no maid, no grandma and no me ! Just him and Kefli and

Our first time in KLIA 2 and we missed our flight. So if you are flying from KLIA 2 just a heads up, be there early , they close the counter 1 hour before departure time, regardless if you web check in or not.

We paid RM 300 and got on the next flight. At the airport, our reactions bila missed flight, as you can see Kaseh looks really happy, don't think she knows what happened.

Kaseh. Kefli is a handful and he is really attached to me, so handling him takes plenty of patience and perseverence.
Kefli's first time on a plane !

Kota Kinabalu was hot and sunny, a much welcome change from the hazy and rainy KL. We hired a car as soon as we touch down KK international airport. KK is relatively small and we suggest you rent a car, makes it easier to travel around. For RM 120 a day, you should be able to rent a MyVi.

Magellan Sutra Harbour is simply breath taking. Checking in was a breeze and the staffs was really friendly.


Checked out the crystal clear water, memang best!

We got a room in the purple zone - 4th floor. Very far from the pool are and lobby. And the nearest lift is very far away, request for a room closer to the pool #tips or you ll have to ferry your kids up and down the stairs.

One of the reason why i choose to stay in Sutra Harbour is because they have plenty of activities for the kids. Kid's club, a playground and a huge pool will keep them busy.

A work trip which then turned into a family holiday . I was in Kolej Yayasan Sabah for an audition,brought my kids with me.


The next day , we made a trip to Pulau Mamutik. Take a boat from Jesselton Point , rm 28 per adult , to and fro.

There are three islands that you can visit at the Tengku Abdul Rahman Marine Park - Mamutik , Manukan and Sapi Island.

Skipping back to the hotel, i must say that it 's one of the best hotel we've stayed in. Value for money and the rooms are tastefully decorated. Huge bathroom and a big tub for the kids to bath in. I would definitely come back .

And when we do come back we would like to complete the following:
1. Northern Borneo Train
2. Trip to Manukan Island
3. Kundasang
4. Visit the upside down house

Till we meet again Sabah !
