Baruna Cottages

Little bit strange in the first place....but for us is a quite enough for our vacation....a beautiful lake...Bali one of the best place in ondonesia for travelers and also for vacation. From the cottage we can see a beatifull lake, batur mountain.... thanks to MR.Putu as a host

We went here from Ubud to do the Mount Batur tour. Our driver already told us that the Kintamani region is ruled by a kind of Mafia that rips off tourists. There were several guys on scooters following our taxi asking where we are going, so that the driver had to make clear that we already booked and that they should leave us alone. The little village is original and very remote. There is one restaurant and you're kind of stuck. But it was actually a good experience to see the real Bali. We paid 400 000 Rupiah for our double room and it was clearly overprised compared to other beautiful places we stayed and paid the half. The bathroom was very old and shabby, no toilet paper and the room was simple. The view over the lake with the sorrounding mountains was stunning though. For the Mt Batur sundrise tour we paid 300 000 Rupiah per person. Later another driver told us the guides (or rather big boss) pays 300 000 for 4 persons... Please be aware that the hike is not as easy as they write everywhere. I wouldnt go up there with children and it is a very exhausting and kind of dangerous walk, especially at night time. But the sunrise is worth it! :-)

Putu and his family are my true lifesavers. Together with a friend I had a motorbike accident on the steep road down to lake Batur. I was hurt really badly, could not get up and had a lot of pain in my back. Putu drove behind us with his car and immediately picked me off the street, drove me to the dokter and later to his house. He and his family done everything to help me and care for. He emphasized constantly that I should not worry about anything and in the meantime I was taken care of in his residence. His wife and the whole family helpt me whit everything. when you feel so vulnerable and frightened and people are so loving and caring for you, you wish these people a all the best, because they are truely good people. I will never forget them! beyond my personal story must be said that they have beautiful large rooms, with huge comfortable beds ( I of all people with a really sore back can tell) and the location is breathtaking. Also the food was prepared with lots of love . I would recommend everyone this beautiful place! Putu and family, I will never forget and I'm so thankful that its hard to express in words! Lots of love from me to You all!
