The place itself, not a photo of it
Scroll and this page walks the property: the footpath in from the road, a rice field harvested twice a year, the long terrace, four rooms, the shared kitchen, and the pond behind. All of it drawn from the actual plan.
What is in this house
Written plainly, including what is not here.
A long terrace facing the field
Six metres, two rattan chairs and one long table. Morning coffee is served here at seven, free, and you are welcome to sit until noon.
Shared kitchen
Two burners, a fridge, a rice cooker, and basic spices. Cook whenever you like. The nearest warung is a four minute walk.
Fish pond and garden
Water spinach, chilli, and lime leaves out back. Whatever goes into breakfast is picked from here that morning.
What is not here
No swimming pool, no lift, and no air conditioning in the two upstairs rooms. The wind off the field is usually enough, but we say so in advance.

Usually asked before booking
Can a car reach it?
A car stops at the main road, then it is a 120 metre walk on a lit concrete path. We carry the bags if you tell us your arrival time.
Is there air conditioning?
In the two lower rooms, yes. The two upstairs rooms have ceiling fans only, and Ubud nights are usually cool enough. We say so up front so it is not a surprise.
What is breakfast?
Fried rice or banana pancakes, coffee or tea, fruit from the garden. Tell us about allergies or no meat the evening before.
Does it suit a family with children?
It does. Lower room two sleeps three, and we have one cot at no charge. The fish pond has no fence, so small children need watching.
What if we cancel?
Free until three days before. Later than that we charge one night, because the room has usually been turned down for someone else.
