Puri Lumbung Cottages Restaurant & Spa Munduk

What a stunning location! The views across the surrounding hills with clear views to the Java Sea and glimpses of the island of Java itself. Watching the mists roll in through the valleys in the evening and stunning sunsets. We had a room with a balcony that gave unobstructed views but the Sunset Bar is the place to be if your room is more surrounded by the wonderful and beautifully tended gardens. So much variety with the buffet breakfast - local dishes, western options, eggs cooked to your liking on the spot. There are several areas within the restaurant zone that you can have a different view with each meal. Take advantage of the service offered to hire a local guide to walk with you to the waterfalls. You will wander through rice fields and the edges of plantations along the way. Your guide will point out the trees and other plants growing so many fruits and spices like cloves, nutmeg, cocoa, coffee, avocadoes, passionfruits, vanilla, lemongrass, the list goes on. The village of Munduk itself is a delight to wander through and some of the local warungs provided us with the most delicious food. I'd encourage taking a few notes from youtubers who have shared their experiences of the area. It was the best way that we found to choose what we wanted to see to make the most of our limited time in the area.

Superbly gorgeous. The entire grounds are amazing and should be explored. We had bungalow 35 which I think may have the best view in the place. The staff were wonderful, each and every one. We did a trek through clove farms to the waterfalls. with a guide who had a little English. We could have found our way to the waterfalls ourselves but I was glad to have home point out plants I wouldn’t recognize on my own like pandan and answer questions. They take great care to have a good relationship with their environs. They nurse endangered species and take measures to keep the rooms bug free without resorting to dousing the place with DCon.

Wonderful gardens, secluded bungalows, excellent food. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Convenient location at the start of the village.

The property is gorgeous and well-tended with a great restaurant and kind staff. They invest in the local community with a robust apprenticeship program and by hosting events for local children. We loved this ethos!

We loved the beauty and unique architecture. It truly felt like we were in a resort hideaway amongst the rice fields. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We also got a massage at the spa which was amazing as well!
