A Day at Sematan 30 Nov 2014

After the church, we went to Sematan by drive. Sematan is a sub-district of Lundu. It is located about 127km or about one and a half hour drive from Kuching.

Sematan faces the South China Sea and is usually used as a base by anglers to go fishing. It have beautiful beaches and vast countryside set against the backdrop of the picturesque Gunung Gading, is perhaps one of the best features of this quiet town.

We stayed at Dynawood Beach Stay. It was recommended by Sis. Agatha. It was sort of a bit difficult to look for as this is our first time here. We have to go through the small kampong lane with cows are just beside the small lane. It was quiet fun too! Just like the adventure and the explorer!

We were so please with the view in front of us during we arrived here, as the Pakcik shown us what sort of accommodation that they have: air-conditioned superior dorm rooms, village tree houses, detached tree houses, and individual Atap house, Bamboo house, Kampong style family room, etc. Eventually, we choose the Atap house, and it is the nearest to the beach front.

After settled our stuffs, we decided that the Pakcik family to cater and cook for us our dinner at night. As for the afternoon lunch, we drove out again to the small Sematan town to hunt for the seafood.

All the seafood was fresh and nice, it is cheaper compared with eating in Kuching of coarse.The town just next to the sea. We can watching out to the sea while having our delicious meals.

There is nothing much at the town, along our way back to Dynawood Beach Stay, we can see there are some resort style or hotel were in the midst of construction. Well, can not deny that this is a nice place to have a short break away.

The children and Daddy quickly changed to their swim suits and ran to the beach, swim and have fun in the sea. I do not join the fun as I don’t feel like swimming. But, was watching them played and I noticed that the sky and the sea are so stunning! We were checking on the fishermen net how was their catch of the day?

Dynawood Beach Stay at Sematan is an ideal place for a short stay.  This is beach front stay. This place can offer all a beach front can offer, such as sand beaches, coconut trees, etc.

It also has a fruit garden and animal farm as well. Guests can see and view anytime and it is free of charge. We went to the animal farm after we got ourselves changed after the swim at the beach. There are monkeys, chickens, ducks, goose, rabbits, cows, iguana, etc..

Dynawood Beach Stay’s heritage environment with “kampong” setting guestrooms are quaint and picturesque. You can’t help but feel your spirits come alive.

The ocean breeze and calming waves set you in the mood for some great holiday and vacation fun. The surrounding environment allows you to be closer to nature and wake up to the peaceful sound of the ocean.

We have our dinner at the small little hut and Makcik served us with white rice, eggs, fried fish with some belacan sambal. It is just a simple meal.

At night, we still can hear the sounds of the ocean waves pounding to the beach. Daddy was struggling whole night as he was bitten by the sand fleas during the afternoon at beach that time.

The night was warm too, as both of us woke u early in the morning to see the sun rise. Unfortunately, the clouds were so thick that we unable to see the sun rise from the horizon of the sea.

We packed our things, have our kampong breakfast then we checked out from Dynawood Beach Stay. It was an enjoyable short trip for us!
