The Clove House in Munduk is a real gem for all those looking to enjoy the tranquility and amazing beauty of mother nature in a unique and comfortable mountain hut. It is ideal for private yoga or meditation retreats, as well as for writers, painters or couples looking for a romantic getaway in an unbelievable dramatic setting. Walk to Munduks 3 beautiful waterfalls directly from the house and enjoy staying in a world-class minimalist designed home.
The Clove House is also CHSE Certified.

The space
Like an island in the sky, the clove house serves the special purpose of bringing people back to nature and their own core self. In a hectic world, filled with material and mental distractions, I see the clove house as a haven for seekers, nature-lovers and practitioners of any spiritual discipline, but also simply as a place to come, relax and get away from it all!

The design of the house follows an optimal flow concept, trying to make best use of light, wind, view and the actual site. Even though simple in its layout, lots of conscious selection of materials make it a cute warm “nest” in the middle of nature. Recycled materials, such as rough-surfaced ulin hardwood, have been used for the flooring and recycled teak wood for the sliding doors. Furniture is held minimal, yet comfortable enough to spend a few days in the house. I am personally a big believer in less is more, but still want my place to be comfortable. Please enjoy!

The house follows the idea of joining elegantly my 3 major design influences: modern minimalism, Japanese traditional design, and Balinese Feng Shui. Choosing darker colours and wooden elements give the villa a warmer cozy atmosphere in the colder terrain. There is a big king-size bed with mosquito netting for a comfortable sleep or for those that like to laze around during the day. Via a Japanese style sliding door one can opt to have a view of the jungle while standing under the rainfall shower or step out and take a hot relaxing bath under the sky in the colder evenings.
A small but complete kitchen is hidden behind the other door, for those who prefer to cook on their own, or simply to put up the kettle for a hot cup of tea or coffee (provided!). To the front, the veranda opens onto the endless majestic view of Bali’s jungle and ocean.

SERVICES

You can expect clean, simple and friendly service. We are limited in our power to manage the services, as we outsource/collaborate with Arya Utama Bungalows. Simply be aware, that Munduk is in a rural part of Bali, further away from modern life and people are more simple minded. Expect basic English-skills ( you may ask Mr. Surya or Mr. Adi for assistance if you have any communication issues).

Arya Utama provides a range of simple Balinese food at great prices (I personally recommend the Vegetable curry, Nasi Goreng and Vegetable Soup), that they can bring down to the house at an extra charge of 20%. Last order 6.45pm. Please pre-order your breakfast at the desired time one day before in person or via phone provided in the villa. You may also order breakfast in the morning, but expect some waiting time. Please help yourself with tea and coffee that is already available in the villa.

INCLUDED SERVICES:
- Choice of different breakfast sets (omlette with toast, jaffle, fried rice, vegetable soup, banana pancake) all served with fresh fruit plate/or fruit juice
- Free Coffee, Tea and drinking water in the villa
- Free Welcome drink
- Housekeeping/Towel change - please order it whenever you need it (otherwise nobody will come to clean in order to guarantee an undisturbed stay)
- free Wi-Fi
- Free Phone with initial credit to call reception and order services at Arya Utama

OPTIONAL SERVICES (extra charges apply - it is highly recommended to pre-order services one day before, as it is more difficult to organize in the mountain area):
- Airport pick up/drop
- other destination pick up/drop
- Trekking service
- Tour service
- Motorbike rental
- In-room service at the villa (food prepared by Arya Utama Restaurant, simple Indonesian food, 20% surcharge for delivering downstairs to villa). Last order 6.45pm.
- Body Massage & Reflexology in the villa

TIPS
- One of Bali’s largest markets, providing freshest produce directly from the farms, is situated about 15-20 minute drive, at lake Tamblingan. A good place to stock up on food items should you plan to cook yourself! For longer stays, the staff at Arya Utama might be able to stock you up with simple groceries at the nearby local market (potatoes, carrots, leek, tofu, tempeh, cabbage etc) for a service fee of 100,000 IDR.

- Please use the kitchen in a proper way and leave it behind in a clean state. If you find any difficulties (missing objects) please let us know so we can replace or buy them for the next guest and improve our service. Please let the staff at Arya Utama know if the gas is empty/finished and DO NOT change the Gasbottle/regulator by yourself.

Please let the staff at Arya Utama know any of the following has run out:
Salt/Pepper/Sugar/Coffee/Tea/Cooking Oil/dishwashing liquid – we provide these items in the kitchen free of charge during your stay. There is a French press and Moka machine available for coffee preparation, as well as a tea pot for preparing tea.

- On the lowest level we have started planting some ginger, turmeric, lemongrass and pandan leafs in the garden, so you can use it for preparing traditional fresh herbal tea.(Maybe ready for harvest in December 2018). When pulling out the ginger/turmeric roots, please breakf of a small piece and push it back into the ground so it can re-grow for future guests.

- Please throw all sanitary napkins, toilet paper, tampons into the garbage bin provided – do not flush down the toilet.

Hello!!:)

We are Kadek & Daniel, married since 6 years and living with our 3 daughters in Bali! We have been lucky to travel alot and live in alot of different countries. Daniel is from little mountain town Bolzano in Italy and Kadek was born in Bali, and we feel lucky to have found each other.

We love reading, meditating, traveling, gardening, design, architecture, surfing, spending time in nature, playing with the kids and meeting up with friends. All our homes have been built and designed by us and we have put alot of love and our souls into them. We also highly respect the grounds upon which our homes are built and try to minimize the impact on the earth.

Our balinese family and best friends will be there for you to care for any of your needs. Our sister Koming will be communicating with you here on the site, but we are always there to support our team and our guests.

We try to treat every person with the upmost respect and sincerity, and simply enjoy to connect with a lot of different people, which I think makes the world a beautiful and colourful canvas.
