Taman Menjangan homestay by SnorkelingMenjangan

The room was pretty clean

The vibe of the property, a bit spooky

Staying at Taman Menjangan homestay by Snorkeling Menjangan was one of the best parts about Menjangan! The host Putu and his son were so kind and helped us get to Menjangan island via their tour trip (the best snorkeling experience in Bali!!). The house is nestled in a local neighborhood with many farmers who have lots and lots of animals. I loved the ambiance.

This is just a general tip and it was my fault mostly, but don't order pancakes for breakfast in Indonesia! The dough is always always raw.

Putu is an excellent and reliable host and manages the Homestay, which is like living on a Bali farm. You get water for free and you can use a washing machine. We were snorkeling with his friend Made and did a mangrove tour with Putu. Both tours were very professional with these friendly guides. We enjoyed our stay at taman menjangan very much and would recommend it to people who don’t need luxurious hotels and yet appreciate clean and homestays and like to experience the more rural way of life.

There norhing we didn't like about our stay

We were well looked after by Putu and his lovely family and really enjoyed the experience. The snorkelling was amazing and we would highly recommend doing the day trip to Menjangan island.

Nothing it was an authentic Bali experience the most enjoyable part of our trip.

good location staff really friendly

Incredible value stay - a yummy breakfast was included, and Pak Putu can organise a very reasonably priced driver, Bli Aris to pick you up or drop you off. There's a kitchen and a washing machine you can use, and there's a delightful restaurant/warung nearby called Dapoer Chandra which serves a wide variety of amazing Indonesian food at a great price. When you walk around, you'll see some pigs and cows nearby which is a cute surprise. We went snorkelling with Bli Wayan, organised by Pak Putu and it was the best snorkelling instructor we've ever had - he briefed us well, pointed out things to us, taught me a little bit of freediving. Definitely recommend doing that with them, they also offer bird watching trips or mangrove sunset tours.

The AC wasn't very strong, and we saw a big spider in our room - not a dangerous one though, we managed to sort it out ourselves. The bed and pillow could be a bit comfier - it's 2 single beds put together, so there's a bit of a gap sometimes.

Pak Putu was very considerate and caring. The homestay has everything we need during our 2 nights stay at pemuteran area. He also gave us the list of top rated restaurants around the homestay (when I say top rated, it is really the best warung, at least for domestic tourist). There is a kitchen with pretty proper tools and ingredients for us to make simple things and also we can do the laundry (no additional charge!) Make sure you also reserve the snorkling with him to menjangan

It will be good if the path / road towards the homestay has a street light. It become so dark at night, with barn around the homestay we really afraid we will hit someone's cattle or piglet 😂
