The hidden waterfall
Sungai Senyaruk lies a jungle walk away, reached only by trails the community knows by heart.
Rumah Anthony · Sungai Lingah · Sibu, Sarawak
Follow the river ↓ When night falls on the ruai, the stories begin.
Selamat datai ngagai rumah kami — welcome to our longhouse.
An Iban community where the Lingah River meets the forest. Come by 4WD and longboat; stay for the firelight, the gongs, and a welcome that asks you to leave only when your heart is full.
More than a place
An experience to be lived
Beyond the longhouse and the river, the land around Rumah Anthony quietly invites those willing to explore it.
Traditional fishing
The simple, satisfying art of Iban river fishing — a slower, more deliberate way of being close to the water.
Iban dishes
Fresh ingredients from the surrounding land, cooked the way they have always been, shared generously at the table.
Dance & celebration
Bare feet on wooden floors, music carrying through the ruai, the warmth of a community in full celebration.
