**Roxy's Bunny Haven: Kuching's Cutest Airbnb!**
Roxy's Bunny Haven: Kuching's Cutest Airbnb! - A Review That's All Over the Place (But Totally Worth It)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average, sterile hotel review. This is the real deal, straight from the heart (and slightly overflowing with opinions, because, well, that's just me). We're talking about Roxy's Bunny Haven: Kuching's Cutest Airbnb! – and let me tell you, the name alone had me sold. Did it actually live up to the fluffy promise? Let's find out, shall we?
(SEO Note: Keywords are everywhere – Roxy's Bunny Haven, Kuching, Airbnb, accessibility, Wi-Fi, pool, spa, restaurant, family friendly, clean, safe, etc. I'm weaving them in naturally, I swear!)
First things first: Arrival and the Vibe. The check-in process was slick – contactless check-in/out is a HUGE win in this post-apocalypse (kinda) world. They also offered private check-in, which I appreciated, especially after a long flight. The 24-hour front desk is also a plus, you know, for those late-night snack cravings (more on that later). I'm not going to lie, as I walked in it felt like walking into a fluffy cloud of cuteness and good vibes.
(SEO Note: Early on, talking about a smooth check-in helps boost user confidence. Mentioning 24-hour front desk covers a practical need.)
Accessibility: Listen, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I always pay attention to this stuff. Sadly, the listing doesn't shout out about full accessibility features. However, there's an elevator which is great.
(SEO Note: Honest is always the best policy about accessibility, don't try to fool the search engine or the customer.)
Internet & Tech Stuff (Because We Live in the Future): Let's be real, Wi-Fi is the oxygen of 2024. And THANK GOD, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And not that dodgy, buffering kind. This was solid. Also, Internet access – LAN existed if you're hardcore and need that wired connection. I didn't need it, but I appreciated the option. Internet services were obviously on point.
(SEO Note: Mentioning Wi-Fi speed or reliability would be a plus, but not necessary if you missed it.)
Dining & Eating Madness: Okay, this is where things get… interesting. Let’s be real for a sec, I spend half my life figuring out how I’m going to eat.
- Restaurants: The restaurant offered a A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Salad in restaurant, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western cuisine in restaurant. Honestly, the variety was insane.
- Breakfast: I'm a sucker for breakfast, and the Breakfast [buffet] was LEGIT. The croissant game was strong, the coffee didn't taste like swamp water, and they had a Breakfast takeaway service, which was a lifesaver for my early morning adventures. They also had Asian breakfast option which was something new, and it was honestly amazing. I devoured it. Also, Bottle of water was provided, which is a nice touch.
- Room Service: Room service [24-hour] is a blessing. I definitely ordered fries at 2 am. No regrets.
- Poolside Bar: Never got a chance to check out the Poolside bar, because honestly, I spent too much time in the pool (more on that below).
- Snack Bar & Coffee Shop: This is where I am typing and that is awesome.
(SEO Note: Listing out the dining options in detail is critical for search visibility. Highlight breakfast as it's a common search term.)
The Spa & Relaxation Zone (AKA Heaven): Okay, so I'm not usually a "spa person," but after a few days exploring Kuching, I needed this.
- Spa/Sauna/Steamroom were all on offer, so naturally I had to try them all.
- Massage: A massage was the first thing I did, and I swear, the masseuse could literally feel the knots in my soul.
- Pool with view: This is where I spent about 90% of my time. The Swimming pool [outdoor] is truly stunning. Seriously, the view is breathtaking, especially at sunset.
- Gym/fitness: I walked in and out.
- Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath: I missed trying these, but there is another trip on the horizon.
(SEO Note: The emphasis on personal experience makes this section more engaging. Highlighting unique features like the pool view is smart.)

**The
Escape to Paradise: Stunning Noordwijk Villa, 4.5km from the Beach!
Okay, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive HEADFIRST into my Kuching adventure at Bunny Homestay 404 @ Roxy Apartment. This ain't your sterile, perfectly-planned itinerary. This is my REAL attempt at living a life while simultaneously documenting it – with all the glorious messiness that entails.
Bunny Homestay 404 @ Roxy Apartment: Kuching Chronicles - A Mostly Accurate Guide
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Air Conditioner Debacle (Oh, and Where's the Damn Towel?)
Morning (AKA, The Travel Worm):
- ARRIVE Kuching International Airport (KCH). After a surprisingly short flight and an even shorter immigration queue (score!), I found myself blinking in the humid Sarawak air. Instant sweat. Already regretting not wearing breathable fabrics made of the finest unicorn hairs.
- The Taxi Tango: Now, Kuching airport is…charming. And by "charming", I mean slightly confusing. Finding a legit taxi was like playing a bizarre game of hide-and-seek. Eventually, after some frantic pointing and miming the act of driving (because apparently, my Malay isn't quite up to par yet), I got myself into a yellow death trap (affectionately).
- Taxi Ride to Bunny Homestay 404 @ Roxy Apartment. The driver, a wonderfully grizzled man with a penchant for blasting dangdut music, regaled me with stories about Kuching’s cats (more on that obsession later). The views were scenic, but the traffic was a beast.
Afternoon - Bunny Homestay: First Impressions & AIR CONDITIONER DRAMA:
- Checked in. The Roxy Apartment building itself is… well, it’s a building. Nothing fancy, but the location seemed alright. Bunny Homestay 404 turned out to be a cute little apartment, BUT…
- OH. MY. GOD. The Air Conditioner! It was a furnace. A white, plastic, evil furnace. I tried to turn it on. Nothing. I tried again. Still nothing. My inner monologue was screaming. This was a disaster because Kuching's heat is real. I spent a glorious 20 minutes fumbling with the controls, the remote, the power socket, even kicking it gently (don't judge). Eventually, I sent a frantic message to the host. Turns out, the switch for the AC was hidden behind the curtains. God help me if I ever attempt to survive in the wild.
- Minor Annoyance Alert: I had to go to the store and buy a towel because none were to be found! Honestly, that should be listed as a "pre-packing" item.
Evening - Cat-Obsessed Dinner & First Kuching Sunset:
- Finally got the AC working (praise the Lord!).
- Walked around the Kuching Waterfront, which is beautiful and all about the cats. Seriously, everywhere you look there’s a cat statue, or a cat mural, or a cat-themed shop. I felt like I was in a feline fantasia.
- Dinner Disaster I decided to be daring and try "Laksa Sarawak" at a recommended food stall. (Laksa is noodle soup). Turns out, I'm apparently allergic to some spice. One word: Burning. My. Mouth! I gulped water frantically, apologized profusely, and learned a very valuable lesson: Ask about everything before consuming.
- Watched the sun go down over the Sarawak River. The colors were gorgeous, which partially made up for my fiery Laksa experience.
Day 2: Culture Rush, Culinary Adventures (Mostly Safe), and a Slight Regret About That Laksa
Morning - Culture Vulture Mode Activated:
- The Sarawak Museum: Started the day with more cultural exploration. The Sarawak museum is fascinating. I saw tribal artifacts, taxidermied animals, and learned a lot about Sarawak's history.
- The Cat Museum (yes, really): I’m starting to think Kuching is run by cats.
- Minor observation: I keep seeing these incredibly cute puppies everywhere. I almost adopted one, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be permitted by the homestay rules.
Afternoon - Food Round Two: The Safe Zone:
- Found a cute little cafe and had a glorious iced coffee with a pastry. This time I stayed away from spicy food.
- The Perfect Chill Session: I decided to find a cozy spot and read, but found my mind was too wired for reading. I spent another blissful hour just staring at the ceiling.
Evening - Street Food Bonanza and a Night Market Ramble and Regret.
- Headed to a night market. The smells and sounds were intoxicating! I sampled various street foods: Satay sticks. Delicious. Fried banana. Lovely.
- The Laksa Regret REVISITED: I thought about the Laksa. Still burning in my memory. I probably won't be able to get that taste out of my memory any time soon.
Day 3: Boat Trip, National Park Drama, and the Ongoing Search for the Perfect Coffee
Morning - River Cruise:
- Took a boat ride along the Sarawak River. Saw some stunning scenery.
- Found a nice coffee place by the river.
Afternoon - Bako National Park (The Jungle Beckons):
- Took a bus ride to Bako National Park. The journey was a little rough, and by rough, I mean, the bus had no AC, and the road was bumpy.
- Jungle Hike: The jungle itself was beautiful. I saw proboscis monkeys! And macaques.
- Took a hike, which was an adventure in itself. It was humid. I slipped. I was covered in sweat. I considered giving up. But I survived.
Evening - Rest & Repeat:
- Took a long shower.
- Ate noodles in the apartment.
- Collapsed.
- Went to bed to start all over again.
Day 4: The Great Shopping Expedition (And a Desperate Plea for Towels)
Morning- Shop Till You Drop:
- Checked out and head to the shopping center.
Afternoon - Towel Acquisition & Final Kuching Glimpses:
- Bought a towel! FINALLY!
- Took a final walk around Kuching, soaking in the atmosphere.
- Said goodbye to Bunny Homestay 404 and hoped the next guest has towels.
Evening - Farewell Kuching:
- Dropped off at the airport.
Final Thoughts & Imperfections:
Kuching is a fascinating place. It is hot. It is cat-obsessed. It’s vibrant, messy, and full of surprises. And while I'm pretty sure I made a few questionable food choices and had a personal battle with an air conditioner, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Things I Learned:
- Always, always triple-check the AC before you get settled.
- When in Kuching, inquire about the spice level. Repeatedly.
- Pack your own towel.
- Embrace the unexpected.
- And seriously, the cats… they’re everywhere.
Now, if you'll excuse I think I'll go have a quiet lie down and reminisce about the heat.

Roxy's Bunny Haven: Kuching Edition - Ask Me Anything (and I Mean ANYTHING!)
Okay, spill. Is Roxy's Bunny Haven ACTUALLY as cute as it looks in the photos? Because let's be real, Instagram can lie.
Okay, FINE. Instagram? Yeah, it probably *oversells* it just a *tiiiiny* bit. But here's the tea: it IS cute. Like, the kind of cute that makes you want to squish things (in a good way, obviously, unless you're talking about the actual bunnies – hands off, people!). The photos? They're pretty accurate. BUT, the *experience*…that's where it goes next-level. Yes, it is adorably decorated, with bunny-themed everything. But the best part? It’s the *vibe*. The air just hums with…well, bunny energy. And trust me, you'll be spending way more time *not* taking photos and just kinda… staring. It’s a weirdly peaceful chaos. (More on this later.)
Tell me about the bunnies! Are they friendly? Do they bite? (I have a small child. Slightly terrified.)
The Bunnies! Oh, the Bunnies. Okay. So, my experience? They're mostly chill. Some are total cuddle bugs, practically begging for chin scratches. Others? They’re the aloof artist types. Think of them like tiny, fluffy celebrities. They judge you, silently. But they're FAR more into carrots than aggression, generally. (Except for maybe one particular bunny who *may* have nibbled on my shoelace. Once. During a particularly stressful morning. But I was asking for it, okay? Really.) As for the small child thing? They're supervised playtime situations, definitely. Roxy and her team are AMAZING at managing the bunny interactions. They'll guide your kid, teach them to be gentle, and make sure everyone (bunny and human) stays happy. It’s a controlled adorable explosion. And honestly? My fear of bunnies? Completely evaporated within an hour.
What's the *actual* accommodation like, not just the bunny part? Is it clean? Comfortable?
Alright, so beyond the fluffy mayhem? The actual living space is surprisingly lovely. Clean? Yep. Spotlessly. Like, I was suspicious it was TOO clean. Comfortable? Absolutely. The beds are plush, the aircon works a treat in that Kuching heat (a MUST!), and there's a little kitchenette for making tea and instant noodles (essential for a weary traveler!). There's a real sense of calm once you are away from the bunny zone. The decor is tasteful - a nice balance between comfort, personality, and, dare I say, practicality. The location is also pretty good – near enough to the city centre, but far enough to feel like you can escape the hustle. I actually slept like a baby. (Which, considering the bunny-induced excitement, is a feat in itself!)
Are there any downsides? Be honest! (Don't sugarcoat it!)
Okay, deep breaths… here's the dirt. The "downsides" are MINOR, but here we go: First, if you have severe allergies, maybe, just maybe, reconsider! Though Roxy does a great job of keeping things clean. Second, you will probably become obsessed with bunnies. And maybe start contemplating getting one of your own. Don't do it, unless you are prepared. Third, there's a high risk of oversharing your photos on social media. And that can be really annoying to your friends. Fourth, the constant cuteness can be… emotionally draining. It sounds ridiculous, I know. But after a few hours of bunny-induced happiness, I was, strangely, exhausted. It's a good kind of exhaustion. It's what I call... "bunny-induced bliss-out fatigue".
I'm a solo traveller. Is it weird going to a place like this alone?
Not at all! In fact, I think it might be *better* solo. Hear me out. You can completely immerse yourself in the bunny-ness without distractions. You can spend an hour just staring at a bunny grooming itself (trust me, it's strangely fascinating) without feeling self-conscious. You can wallow in the sheer adorableness without anyone judging you. Roxy and her team are super friendly and welcoming, making you feel instantly at ease. Plus, you can take all the time you need taking photos and selfies. You can be selfish, in the funnest way possible! I went alone, and I'm pretty sure it was the best solo trip I've ever had. There's a certain… freedom… in bunny-gazing solo.
What's the best way to prepare for a visit? What should I bring?
Okay, important prep! First, pack plenty of phone-charging cables. Trust me, your camera (and social media feeds) are gonna be on overdrive. Second, bring comfy clothes. Think loose, breathable fabrics. You'll be on the floor a lot. Third, pack a sense of humour. And maybe a little bunny-themed accessory (you know, for the 'gram). Fourth, mentally prepare yourself for overwhelming cuteness. There's no escape. Fifth, and most important: Bring an open mind (and maybe some carrots, if Roxy allows it). And be ready to fall deep into the bunny hole! (Not literally, hopefully.)
Can I actually cuddle the bunnies? (This is important!)
Yes! But with rules. It's all very well regulated. You can pet them, stroke their ears (they LOVE that), and yes, ideally, cuddle them. But, it has to be on their terms. Roxy and her team will show you how to hold them gently, and guide you through the bunny basics. They will also teach you how to read bunny body language. Some bunnies are cuddle monsters, others are less so. So, be respectful of their space. No grabbing, no squeezing! It's about creating a harmonious experience, not forcing yourself on some innocent fluffy creature.
Let's talk location! How easy is it to get around from the Haven?
Pretty easy! Kuching isn't huge, thank goodness. The Haven is in a relatively central spot. Taxis and ride-sharing are readily available and affordable. Walking is doable to nearby cafes and restaurants (hello, Kuching Laksa!). It's the perfect starting point for exploring the city. I spent most of my time NEAR the Haven though, because, well, bunnies. I mean, seriously, who wants to leave when there's so much fluffy goodness to be had?
Okay, the most important question: What’s the one thing you’ll *never* forget about your stay?
