Overview
TEBiNG Guest House stands on the bank of the Tembeling River in Kuala Tahan, the village opposite Taman Negara's headquarters. It has a friendly, authentic guesthouse feel, and the team can organise jungle treks, fishing and boat trips into the park.
Partner listings show around 22 rooms, from standard twins and doubles to two- and three-bedroom houses with river views, air-conditioning and a fridge, which makes it a rare option for families or groups travelling together. Parking is free, there's Wi-Fi in the shared areas and laundry is available for a charge.

Location
The jetty for boats across to the park is about 300 metres away, and the floating restaurants are a short walk along the river. The park headquarters, the Tahan Hide and the start of the main trails are less than a kilometre away as the crow flies, just across the water.
Lubuk Simpon, a river beach popular for an afternoon dip, is just over a kilometre away. Evenings on the riverbank are lovely: watch the mist settle over the forest and listen to the hornbills calling as the light goes.
