Taman Menjangan Homestay

Putu is an amazing host he and his family made me feel very welcome. The property is in the less visited part of Bali and is surrounded by small holdings. It is so beautiful in the area, I would recommend a driver or a hire car/moped if you wish to explore as the property is not very far from the main road, it is not a busy place. There are some lovely local warungs and shops nearby including some very nice eateries such as the Bali Tower. The national forest is not far away and you are pretty much surrounded by forest, there is a local beach like most of them is down a few ‘ less maintained’ roads but is worth the visit. Putu is a guide and can take you birdwatching and to see the black faced monkeys in the national forest. The rooms are simple, but comfortable and the AC is very good. About 20 minute drive away is Pemuteran a more tourist oriented village with a lot of very good dive centres. Be warned that the journey from Denpasar airport is quite long and can be exciting if you’re not used to Balinese roads and driving! Overall I have never had a better experience of friendliness care and not just being a visitor I felt fully at home. If you’re looking for 5* instragramable infinity pools this is not for you, but if you want to try and experience Bali before the tourists arrived try here it’s beautiful.
