The type of house that visitors will live in during the homestay programme is most likely a traditional Malay house, which is made of timber and raised in stilts. Some houses display intricate carvings or crafts. The windows open out to the lush greenery that surrounds the homes, offering plenty of fresh air and a sense of calm. In Sabah and Sarawak, visitors will be able to live in a Malay village or other traditional dwellings such as a longhouse (a communal home). In Sarawak visitors can experience life in a Melanau tall house, which can reach up to 40 feet above ground level.
