Lovely getaway base to explore Idjen

Erica is very helpful guide that assisted us in booking scooters and finding a driver on Bali. She also helped out planning our Idjen trip. The room was spacious.

Peace of mind

The environment and the energy in the house were incredible, and then the amenities and the food were the cherry on top. A must do is a plunge in the creek running through the property

Exceptional Hospitality Despite the Rain – Erika Made It All Happen!”

Erika is a truly kind and attentive host who goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. When we arrived in heavy rain, she immediately checked whether it was safe to climb Mount Ijen and managed to organize everything for the activity at the very last minute despite the weather. We also had a delicious meal at her place—highly recommended!

It is really the gem of Ijen, serene and beautiful gardens!

I could not recommend enough staying for a few nights in this little slice of paradise in Banyuwangi - don’t make the mistake of spending just one night for Ijen here. We had such a lovely two days just relaxing by the pool surrounded by a beautiful jungle, butterflies and the sound of the stream that passes through the property. I was unwell and could not do the Ijen crater trek but I still managed to have a wonderful time thanks to the serene surroundings.

Beautiful and heart-welcoming stay in the jungle

Beautiful guest house in the middle of the jungle with beautiful bungalows and surrounding lands. We loved the hospitality of our hosts Ericka and Marc and all their staff. The food cooked by Rico was amazing. We ate there every night. In the surrounding area, we also enjoyed the walk through the villages and rice fields. Thank you very much for the warm welcome and amazing stay.
