Slow living at the foot of Mt. Batukaru
Wake to mountain air on our organic family farm in the Bali highlands. Eat what we picked that morning, and rest in the quiet of the garden.
Sleep in the mountains
Our 1980s rustic three-bedroom guesthouse sits right at the farm. Wake up to birdsong, mist through the coffee trees, and a breakfast grown twenty metres from your bed.
A family farm
rooted in the highlands
Nestled at the foot of Mount Batukaru, the second highest peak in Bali, our family has been farming this land since 1988. Surrounded by terraced rice fields, coffee plantations and the last remaining primary rainforest in Bali, we grow clean, honest food.
We started with a simple vision — to grow the best possible food, without shortcuts, without chemicals, without harming the land that has fed our family for generations. — Iskandar Waworuntu, founder
Today we deliver that same food, grown by the same hands, straight to your doorstep across South and Central Bali.
Find us at the foot of Mt. Batukaru
We are up in the cool highlands of Tabanan, about two to three hours from the south of Bali. The drive in is part of the experience, winding through rice terraces and forest. Message us and we will help you plan the journey and your stay.
A Home, not just a house
Our three-bedroom rustic farmhouse is more than just a place to stay; it was once a family home, filled with everyday life, stories, and memories.
Built in the late 1980s, the house has kept much of its original charm and character. Surrounded by rice paddies, coffee plantations, and the forest of Mount Batukaru, it offers a simple and peaceful way of living close to nature.
There is nothing overly polished or luxurious about the farmhouse. It is warm, lived-in, and authentic; a home that has welcomed family and friends for decades, and now opens its doors to those who want to experience a slower, more meaningful side of Bali.
Come not just to stay, but to feel at home.
