need to know all

3 adults %26amp; 3 kids going to Brunei for 9 days in October 08 after buying cheap air tickets. Has any one got family accommadation,and transport, advice also a list of things you just have to see and do?



need to know all


hi there,





Speaking of family accommodation, what do u have in mind?





Id reckon anyone with budget to stay at the Empire Hotel. Resort style, beaches; ultimately the best place for a getaway n relaxing vacation. Its about 25minz car drive or so, away from town.





List of things u hafta see:





#1 Water Village (Kampung Ayer)



#2 Jame Asri Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque



#3 Royal Regalia building (Coronoation n Jubilee Chariot)



#4 National Park (Temburong - fullday)





The national park is worthwhile to visit if you have the time, as it requires a full day trip of taking ferry boat rides, traditional long-boat rides, n some hiking.





Hope this helps. Appreciate if others can fill in more list of things to do.



need to know all


Thank you for your information.



Family accommadation some where that is kid friendly and not to hard on the pocket seen there is 6 of us and provides enough room




I am not sure of the quality of the rooms - may be old and worn now, but they are cheap. Grand City Hotel-

It is out of the city centre and taxis are expensive, but maybe you will hire a car. see below website for hire car contact numbers. I use skype to phone - get faster info than email.
