The Jungle Nook is a secluded cottage nestled against a slope overlooking a lush river valley, allowing you to fully disconnect and enjoy the breathtaking views.

The deck is made from beautiful recycled ironwood and will surely entice you for some yoga, meditation, journalling, writing music or whatever else calls you.

Other things to note
INSECTS and other CREATURES
At The Jungle Nook, we live alongside the vibrant creatures that have called this place home long before we arrived. Our tropical setting is teeming with life, from insects and frogs to geckos, chirping cicadas and countless other critters. We believe in living in harmony with the rest of nature and want to offer our guests an authentic experience of this rich, untamed ecosystem.
You'll spot beautiful butterflies fluttering through the air, but you'll also come across a whole host of other creatures—some familiar, some a bit more unusual—all with their own unique colors, shapes and sounds. The jungle is a place where nature shows up in every possible form.
Geckos of various sizes make their homes with us, and though harmless, they do add their distinctive calls at night. In return, they’re incredibly helpful, keeping our space clear of pests - in Balinese culture they're considered bringers of good energy!
Our garden is home to playful squirrels, colourful birds, screeching cicadas and curious lizards. At sunset, you might see bats flying around, and the jungle fills with a chorus of sounds, from croaking frogs to rustling leaves. As night falls, you might be lucky enough to see fireflies glowing over the rice paddies.
While we deeply appreciate the beauty and balance of this wild environment, we understand that the intensity of nature here may be overwhelming for some.
