Accommodation

The contemporary longhouse is a typical longhouse of the second half of the twentieth century as a result of the upgrading of the traditional longhouses as the natives get modernised.

In fact now there are longhouses in Sarawak that are very modern with modern facilities just like in the urban houses. The one at BTV is a block of two and a half storey building with 24 full standard rooms and 12 attic rooms.

The standard rooms are provided with 2 single beds, dressing table, ensuite separate bathroom and toilet and a wall fan and some rooms with air conditioner. The attic room is provided with mat on the floor, a toilet cum bathroom and a wall fan.

Every standard room is provided with 2 single beds and ensuite separate toilet and bathroom and a wall fan and is cool at night.

The attic room is only provided with mat on the floor, a wall fan and a lift window at the roof to provide natural light and fresh air and a stunning view of the surrounding mountain like Mount Singai, Serapi Mountain and Dered Krian behind Bau Town.

This typical traditional longhouse has the covered and open veranda (tanju) with sitting benches throughout the length of the first floor rooms for socialising and enjoying the best view at BTV, being the one of highest point at Borneo Tribal Village. The veranda on the ground floor is also provided with the traditional tribal swing which the natives would swing and relax in the evening.

Thus, the traditional longhouse offers a tribal living experience of the natives of Borneo of up to the mid-1900s.
