Traditional  ‘bale bengong’ in the homestay
A place to think, relax and find peace. This is what a ‘bale bengong’ means to the Balinese people (literally it means ‘house of think’ in Balinese language). This open wooden house with traditional roof, provides shade for the sun and protection from the rain. There is a fan when it’s too hot, a light for when it’s dark, an electric point for the use of a laptop and pillows for extra comfort. The ultimate place to chill!
