Daphne Homestay & Cooking Class

We had a fantastic stay and an amazing cooking class. Nothing else to add.

We spent two nights at Daphne Homestay and everything from start to finish was fantastic. It’s more than just a bed; the place feels calm, intimate and truly tied to local Lombok life. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery, the vibe is very relaxing. The room was spotless and cozy, breakfast was on the house, and the family welcomed us warmly throughout. It was a welcome break from a big, impersonal hotel. A real highlight was the Anggrek Putih Lombok Cooking Class right on the property. We first wandered the garden and learned about the herbs, spices and ingredients used in Indonesian and Lombok cooking, then cooked alongside the local family. The whole thing was hands‑on, well organized and a lot of fun. We made many traditional dishes and then sat down to taste everything we’d prepared. The food was delicious, but the real magic was learning about the ingredients, local customs and everyday life in Lombok. It never felt like a commercial tourist activity; it was genuine, friendly and personal. Staying at Daphne Homestay and taking the cooking class at the same spot was the perfect combo. You can relax, enjoy the garden and then have one of the best cultural and food experiences of your trip without having to travel anywhere. After two nights we left feeling we’d seen a much more authentic side of Lombok. We’d gladly stay again and would especially recommend it to travelers who want more than just a hotel room. A memorable stay, fantastic cooking experience and genuinely warm hospitality. Highly recommended!
