Ngapuh Homestead sits beside the river with the steep slopes of the Bungo Range National Park rising behind. It is a place for ecotourism and for gatherings with architects, designers and entrepreneurs who come for cultural exchange. Here, modern life meets traditional living.
What began as a humble idea to build a rest house has grown into a living project that supports the village and welcomes guests to rainforest life.
Ngapuh Homestead is not just a place to stay. It is a community, a place to plant trees for the next generation. When you visit, you become part of the story, supporting Kampung Rejoi Nyegol.
Charlotte and Jerome, known locally as Lottie and Lelem, together with the community welcome guests and hold bamboo craft workshops that carry forward Bidayuh building knowledge, along with farming, foraging and cooking traditions.
Each visit supports the community and invites guests to slow down, create and connect.
Come join us. Stay. Learn. Create.
The forest around us is shared with many other animals, many are protected under Sarawak’s Wildlife Protection Ordinance. Most are shy, so every sighting is rare and special.
Lottie and Lelem decided to build their farmhouse in the jungle. Inspired by the Bidayuh kampung vernacular the house was designed together with their community. It blends traditional craft with contemporary design and reflects a shared vision rooted in sustainable living. This is where our architectural blueprint idea began and we invite you to explore our design and build journal.
