The Water Village in Labuan

Kampung Patau-patau II is one of the four water villagr in Labuan. The other three water village are Kampung Patau-patau I, Kampung Bebuloh Laut and Kampung Rancha-rancha Laut. Kampung Patau-patau I is modernised - with concrete walkways instead of plank ones.




Kampung Air Patau Patau 2 comes equipped with water and power supply, telephone and sewage lines, streetlights, water taxi jetty, grocery shops, handicraft shops, clinics, schools and surau (a place of worship for muslims that is smaller than a mosque).  Being surrounded by water, the main mode of transportation is the boat and most of the houses own one. These houses can be rather spacious and well decorated with heavy antiques and every living comfort imaginable on the inside. Staying at this delightful and charming traditional water village is certainly an incomparable experience.
