Tempurung Seaside Lodge

Two hours south of KK, on the beach but pretty much in the middle of nowhere is a lodge that was recommended to us by the receptionist at our hostel in KK. There were a total of 10 guests and we had the ocean to ourselves. The chef new how to make me happy, preparing original and exciting dishes for every meal. I was so impressed that I asked for some time in the kitchen and I got a very formal cooking lesson that should really have been filmed for the BBC food channel. New Years Eve was celebrated with a braai on the beach and an endless supply of free Tiger Beer, attended by the 10 guests and the full quota of staff and family (about another 15).
