“Bereid je voor”
The setting was truly gorgeous, tucked in nature with a garden that clearly had been tended to lovingly, probably one of the nicest natural spots I’ve seen in Bali. We visited in the low season (February) and the listing promised two restaurants, high‑tea, the ability to give dietary notes, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, yoga – everything. Yet when we arrived there was only a single “restaurant” (just a place to sit) and it was closed, and the other place 15 minutes away was also shut because of the season. The guesthouse did manage to serve some food – nasi, mie or a piece of chicken – which we ate for lunch and dinner, and breakfast was just an egg and some fruit. There wasn’t much to do nearby, and nobody told us what options existed, so we ended up wandering around; apart from a few local shops there was nothing. The bungalows are beautiful, but the open sections by the windows let all the mosquitoes in at night and there was no mosquito net. We left the next day because we couldn’t get comfortable there. Still, if you love nasi and mie, want to experience real Balinese culture and be surrounded by nature, this is the place for you – just ask the staff for a local guide who can show you the village and give you an inside look at the culture. It was a shame the staff didn’t explain any of this, we only discovered it after we left. The description gave us completely the wrong expectations, so it fell short; it’s probably different in high season, but this was our February experience.
