Pondok Manoka is the ideal countryside getaway, nestled amidst chili farms and organic vegetable fields. The entire space comprises a 2-bedroom house with a mezzanine, and two newly constructed bungalows, all located in Buahan village with stunning views of trees, the lake, and the majestic Mt. Batur Volcano. Pondok Manoka's entire complex can accommodate up to 12 guests.

Pondok Manoka in Kintamani is situated in a rural setting surrounded by farms. It isn't a luxury villa but rather a place to immerse yourself in authentic Balinese farm life. It also serves as the perfect launching point for exploring Mt. Batur. Crafted from natural stones and local wood, this property offers a unique experience in the Kintamani area. It's simple and cozy, providing the perfect refuge for an authentic Balinese countryside escape.

The chalet features two bedrooms with king-size beds, two bathrooms, and a spacious mezzanine with one queen and two single floor mattresses. A large living area and fully equipped kitchen anchor the house's center. A generous veranda with ample seating allows families and friends to gather and soak in the breathtaking views of the lake and volcano.

Recently, we've added two bungalows on the opposite side of the property (50m away from the main house). Each bungalow boasts an ensuite bathroom (shower + toilet) and is furnished with two comfortable single beds—arranged separately in one bungalow (twin) and combined to form one large bed in the other.

Meals are not included in the base price. However, Kadek, our delightful housekeeper, is available to prepare breakfast, lunch, or dinner upon prior request, at a very reasonable price. Please note that there is no WIFI available on-site; only a 3G connection accessible via your phone.

The base rate accommodates 8 guests (with 2 guests per room). A nominal additional fee applies for each extra guest from 4 up to 8 guests (for mezzanine use). When booking, please ensure to select the correct number of guests, and the price will be automatically calculated.


IMPORTANT NOTE :
Please be advised that during dry season, you may encounter machinery noise in the villa area as our neighbors tend to their plant watering duties approximately between 4-8 AM. We aim to provide our guests with an authentic local village experience, and we appreciate your understanding in this regard.

GUEST ACCESS
The whole property will be yours exclusively.
The fire-pit is at your disposal.
One pack of firewood is charged approx. 50,000 IDR

Maximum occupancy is 12 guests and 1 infant (under 2 years old). Please note, NO extra bed or baby cot is available.

GUEST INTERACTION
Unlike many "villas" in the busy areas of Bali, this listing doesn't offer "hotel service". It was originally build as a secondary house for the owners to come with their children during the week-ends. Our lovely neighbour, Kadek, takes care of the cleaning of the house and can cook simple, but yet delicious, Indonesian meals, upon request.

NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
Kintamani sit on the rim of the huge Batur caldera about 1,500m above sea level, and offer dramatic views of the active volcano Mount Batur and serene Lake Batur. Toyo Bungkah village is down at the lake edge. As well as the lake and the volcano, Kintamani is home to Pura Ulun Danu Batur, one of Bali's key nine directional temples. We are located 20 min drive from the departure of Mont Batur trek. If you are interested in the famous Sunrise Trekking, we will be happy to organise it for you with our friendly local guide. We are about the same distance from Toyo Devasya : Soak in these Hot Springs right by the lake side in the village of Toya Bungkah. Very relaxing, and a great way to warm up on the frequent chilly days up here.

GETTING AROUND
Kintamani is usually approached from the south with 2 routes in from Ubud (45 minutes), and one each from Besakih (1 hour) and Bangli (30 minutes). There is also an easy way in from the north via a turning off the coast road east of Singaraja (1 hour). Scooter rental or car with driver can be arranged with prior notice.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE
You're up in the high mountains of Bali, where temperatures are typically about 15 degrees cooler than on the coast, and even chillier at night. Combined with the frequent cloudy and drizzly weather, it's wise to have a sweater or jacket during the day and essential after sunset.

The house is situated in a farming area, so insects and mice may occasionally find their way inside. We provide repellent devices for your comfort.

Please note: Pondok Manoka is nestled among traditional Balinese organic plantations. During the dry season (June to September), local farmers may utilize pumps and sprinklers to water their gardens in the early morning. We appreciate your understanding.
