This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. We spent Christmas here and we couldn't have picked a better place. Even before we arrived Lily and the gang made it easy by picking us up in Parapet. The lodge is new and comfortable with big rooms, fan and a wunderful view over the rice fields. All food was very good. Lily and Ishako arranged all our hikings as to our request and we loved it. And they were all so very welcoming and invited us to join with their friends Christmas party. This was one of our best stays in Indonesia. We can highly recommend everybody to stay here. We loved it, thank you, Lily & Ishako & Osaka!

Cheeky Monkeys gives real meaning to 'Arrive as a stranger, leave as a friend'.
