Fantastic place surrounded by forest - true to its name. We enjoyed trekking around the jungle, solitude and remote location. Don't miss going down to the river - the views are mind-blowing and you feel a true connection to nature.

Everything was great

Pusman (the owner) told me on the way to his place that he hoped to have the WOW factor and he certainly has achieved that! If you want to experience real timeless Bali, head here. If you want to take time for a silent retreat or practice yoga, head here. Food was exceptional and breakfast every day was a work of art. I spent 8 delightful days here, high speed wifi is now available in the cabin. A second cabin is under construction. You pretty much have the place to yourself, some beautiful walks to take and friendly locals will greet you on the way. UNESCO heritage rice fields and temples too. Hot springs and waterfalls nearby. Pusman can arrange all for you Why would you go anywhere else in Bali?

Staff was super helpful with suggestions and arranging check-in and checkout. The room was as clean as you can get it in the forest, the bed was comfortable and all the amenities were there.

Breakfast was not great

My partner and I spent a week in this magical space near a beautiful temple Pura Luhur Muncaksari, hot springs, waterfalls, Batukaru volcano and real culture from Bali. It is a really wonderful space to enjoy nature. And the neighbors around are very friendly, smiling and create a nice atmosphere around. In the space there are many fruit trees and different types of plants. At the same time, the host helped us with everything we needed. We loved the breakfast and the family energy is really lovely. There are nearby towns where you can find small shops. It's easier when you have a motorcycle. We recommend this space for travelers.

Staying here was the highlight of my Bali trip. I travelled solo and had my own “silent retreat” at this forest cabin. There is no WiFi or phone reception, so this is the place to disconnect. However, if you walk about 7 mins near the temple entrance (Pura Luhur Muncak Sari), there is excellent internet reception. This is a large and famous temple (built 11th century) with beautiful views in a very peaceful setting. There is a shed with a couple of benches near the front entrance to sit and enjoy the view and do some internet (if you must). Walk further another 5 to 10 mins to go to the small village to buy fruits and have interactions with village people. There are no restaurants, so I relied on the owner to provide the meals. The owner (Pak tiara) is a kind-hearted young man who wanted to ensure that I enjoyed my stay. The meals were 50k/per meal/person. The local village musician can teach the bamboo musical instrument (Gamelan) for 150k (about 1.5 hours). A local village person to come and do massage at the cabin for 150k/hour. There are many walks and hiking with beautiful mountains and lush views. Ask Pak tiara for details. If you are a serious trekker, the trek guide is 500k (same price whether 1 or 3 people) going up the mountain (all-day trip and is very tough). Overnight camping trips are also apparently possible if you hire more people (I didn’t try, maybe next time). The bamboo cabin itself is very clean and tidy. Pak-tiara cooked the meals, coffee etc for me in a kitchen located about 30 metres away. I convinced him to let me use the kitchen to make my coffee throughout the day. He was a little shy to let me use it because the kitchen area is a little messy and also used as a storage area. The cabin is located on his farm, where he harvests coffee, papaya, jack fruit, avocado, ginger, turmeric, banana, panili, etc.

The owner lives in the village with his family. At night, I was alone in the dark with me and the stars in the forest. If you are scared of sleeping alone in the forest, go with someone else. Also, it is a good idea to take a torch, gumboots (to walk down to the river and walk around the farm where it can get muddy) or waterproof shoes. It can get a little cold at night. There are ants, mosquitos etc., on the porch. If you are afraid of them, Bali is not the place to go. Also, it rained most days, although it was not the rainy season. So it was damp, which I liked initially but after some time not that great especially the clothes stay damp etc.

This cabin nestled in the middle of the forest jungle is a slice of real back to nature living It’s the most peaceful nature filled environment I have found found in Bali and you are completely alone no one you bother you ,no cars,no pollution,no noise My girlfriend and I stayed for a week and the owner was so warm and welcoming,food was great Free and as much coffee ,fruit and breakfast you want The property has fruit trees all over Clean facility,hot water shower Is just a perfect choice getaway from the tourist trap of Kuta Big comfy bed , Go stay ,get back to nature ,get back to your roots ,get back in touch with yourself for a few days
