Mista Ceningan's Beach Bungalows

The property overlooks the seaweed farms which is so pretty and so interesting. The location is quiet, quirky, and great pool. The owner Sean is so lovely, accommodating and truly makes you feel like family. The food is absolutely delicious. Yes, we will return.

There was nothing we didn’t like.

I stayed here with my wife and two children. The staff were friendly and were always there to assist. Whether it was organising bikes, taxi or day trips, they helped us with everything. The food was also extremely good and I couldn’t fault any meal we had.

I liked everything about my stay here. I have no negative comments.

Clean cosy friendly escape from reality! Delicious food… the yellow curry is a must! Fabulous staff, we will be back

Great atmosphere and super friendly, helpful staff. Nice pool and tasty food for the whole family. Our bungalow was nice and clean, exactly what we expected based on the photos.

Well priced & comfortable

Great location on ceningan, friendly accommodating owner and staff, awesome food, cold beer and nice rooms with good aircon. Place was accurate to photos and description and good value.

Onze jongens en wij voelden ons heel erg thuis. Het ontbijt was lekker en het avondeten was fantastisch! Het personeel is zeer behulpzaam en helpt met regelen als je ergens heen wil.

Rooms were lovely food exceptional and owner/staff awesome

Great location and the view is amazing. Food was excellent, with a good range and everything done to perfection. Rooms were clean and bright and we had everything we needed. Staff were friendly and helpful and assisted with transport and sightseeing recommendations.

absolutely nothing

This place is in a great location and has a lot of potential to be even better

Needed some maintenance and general tidy up. Some days our rooms where not cleaned and did not change towels.

Comfortable, clean, friendly staff, food and the view.

Nothing to dislike

Loved it all

Nothing

The location between the two islands is awesome. Watching the seaweed farmers working away is a beautiful way to pass the day. The food is amazing . Room is clean and very comfortable bed. Well appointed room. Staff are friendly and professional. Owners are helpful and friendly. Great communication. Good quality food very fresh and delicious.

Nothing . Superchappy with our stay.

Fantastic staff and location. Amazing food and the coldest beer on the island. Happy hour 4-7pm everyday. AFL and NRL on tvs if you like sport or motor racing. Staff there to accommodate your stay.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Great location with yummy onsite restaurant (especially chicken/avo pasta!) and several more cafes within walking distance. Clean, light and spacious room and semi-outdoor bathroom with large bathtub. Wifi worked well in my room (villa 3). Breakfast was yum, especially the pancakes! Leony’s Spa about 5-10min walk away had amazing and cheap massages etc right on the water. All bungalow staff welcoming and friendly although seemed a little unsure at times. But Aussie owners Shaun and Lisa very proactive with any issues that arose. Truck taxi 100k from yellow bridge (or 50k by scooter) and easy scooter rental 100m down the road if you want to explore the island on two wheels.

Sometimes the music/restaurant could be loud (but it is a restaurant/sports bar after all), but it always stopped by 8-8.30pm each night, so didn’t bother me that much.

We loved the style of the bungalows and the outdoor bathroom. The view was fantastic - our bungalow overlooked the pool. It was so interesting seeing the tidal changes and watching the seaweed farming each morning. The location was great - opposite a small shop for some essentials and walking distance to other restaurants, however, the food at Mista Ceningans was outstanding and we ate there quite a lot. Happy hour was actually 3 hours! The staff were friendly and helpful. Amanda was overseeing whilst the owners were away and was so knowledgable about the area, where to go/what to see & do. We felt like we were hanging out with friends!

There was a drying rack and one space to hang clothes in the room, however, with the two of us we could have used more hanging space, so some extra hooks on the wall in the bathroom and bedroom would have been great.

The views were amazing great food great location

Nothing we don’t like

Great place to stay with family. Good value. Friendly staff

Nothing

Comfy bed, great location by the waters edge and excellent food.

Nothing

Très bien

Beautiful outlook to the ocean and seaweed farms. Fab pool and lounges. Loved the busy restaurant at night. Owners Lisa and Sean helpful and knowledgeable.

Stairs, which is a "me" problem, as all over Nusa Ceningan have stairs, and I have dodgey knees.

Fantastic hosts, great food and loved the location too

Great location, lovely bungalows. Owners are great and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Best food on the island !

Wonderful traditional villas with beach vibe styling. Loved the outdoor bathroom and relaxing in the pool with water views - so peaceful !

De eigenaren en het personeel zijn ontzettend aardig, ze willen overal over meedenken, en het is er ontzettend gezellig. Je hebt een prima zwembad, en een uitstekend restaurant. De huisjes zijn dikke prima! Je kan ook de ' zee ' in, aan het eind van de dag veranderd de zee in een zeewierplantage, wat een ontzettend gaaf gezicht is... nogmaals de eigenaren zijn echt schatten, je voelt je ontzettend snel thuis.

Als je niet super kritisch ingesteld bent viel eigenlijk niks tegen.

目の前と横に お店があるので便利

夜は水が出なくなり オーナーにメールしたが 朝まで返信がなく 水も朝まで出なかった。 シャワーの途中で水がなくなるのは考えられない。 もちろんトイレも流せない。 こんな宿は初めて。 ホテルなら24時間対応してくれるが 朝まで返信がないのは本当に駄目。 私たちはバイクを持っていたが バイクがないならイエローブリッジまで迎えに来てくれるとメールがありましたが 1キロしか離れてないのに200000ルピアだと言われた。 バカにしてますね。 チュニをガンとレンボンガンには グラフで車を手配できないのでバイク乗れない方にはお勧めしません。 基本バリ島より食事も高い。

Izjemno prijazna lastnica, dober zajtrk

Lokacija ni ok , v bližini je plaža, kjer gojijo alge in tam ni možno kopanje. Tudi sicer za namestitve bolj priročam Nusa Lembongan, ker ni dodatnih "težav" z dostopom čez Rumeni most

The rooms are lovely and overlook the seaweed farms, the warm welcome

The noisy sports bar and TV’s dominating the property until late with day trippers taking precedence over house guests.

Wonderful hosts. Felt like I’d come home

The location is beautiful. Nusa Cennigan is absolutely sublime. Perfect getaway if you want to relax and do very little. Lisa and Shaun are really helpful, recommending all the best things to do on the island, and they are well-liked by staff, and genuinely invested not only in the property but also in the island and the local people. I found out from locals ( when they gave me scooter rides) that they invest their time, money, and heart into the local school and other projects. When I found this out, I liked them even more!

All the usual little things went wrong - Bali belly, taxi driver not coming, water filter not working - but it is easier to manage when you are staying in a place with helpful and caring staff.

The place is absolutely stunning! The bungalow was pretty, comfortable, and very clean, with a beautiful view of the ocean or the algae fields – depending on the tide. The owners and all the staff are amazing and very helpful – they can arrange everything you need to get there and to have a great stay! The breakfasts and all the food were really delicious, and the Bintang is definitely the coldest on the island! It truly is a piece of paradise!

Too short stay!

Exceptional 🤩 from the minute you arrive you feel welcome such a relaxing awesome place . Beautiful clean villas, great balconies and views. The nicest food we have ever eaten in Bali, Lembognan and Cennigan so reasonably priced too ( Eye Fillet and the Rice Paper Rolls especially delightful ) .. the MOST coldest beers 🍻 super friendly and awesome Aussie owners 🫶🏻 we will be back!!! and now would not stay anywhere else already planning next stay could not recommend Mistas anymore more highly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great time and will come back for sure.

From arriving and greeted by Lisa and Shaun started what would be a amazing 3 days. The bungalows are beautiful and the outdoor shower with freestanding bath tub was so nice. And hot showers to get all the sunscreen off. Great location just up the hill is the blue lagoon a beautiful place to watch the sunset but it just as beautiful from the pool area here. Shaun organised our snorkel trip and scooters to get around on and his dad jokes are a little bit funny. Nothing was an issue when we asked and the food was great too. Lisa is holding our bags there while we are on Gili and she is having a driver drop them off to the port when we return to go to sanur. Will 100% be back And they had the coldest Bintang on the island. It was a Win Win

Nothing

The owner Shaun and Lisa are so welcoming and accommodating. I can’t praise them highly enough. It was like staying with family. (You know the good family) the villas are cute, comfortable with heaps of character. And wow the BEST FOOD on the island. We are our way through the menu and will return for more CFC!!! Thank you for making our stay so epic. We are missing Komodo our Bali dog.

Nothing not to like. Everything was amazing. Wish we could stay longer!! See you both in August

The owners were so friendly and helpful. Food was delicious! Staff was super helpful and responsive.

Great location and adorable bungalow!

Could not fault the staff they were great. Food was incredible breakfast and dinner.. We enjoyed dinner on the beach every night.

Not much around . If you have a bike it would be better

The location was perfect with ocean views. Bungalows were cute with cold air con, I like my water cold so it was nice to see little bar fridge to put the water into. We ate lunch and dinner at the property, the food was amazing and service exceptional. The staff were so friendly always smiling and happy which is what we like to see.

I do like a soft bed, the bed was really hard but it was only 1 night. For future bookings I will contact property and ask for a mattress topper.

beautiful rooms, stunning location, amazing food, such a relaxed and welcoming vibe.. The friendliest staff I've ever met.

Perfect location, close enough to all the sites, but far enough away that it's peaceful. They absolutely had the best food on the island, we couldn't fault one meal that we ate, so delicious. Lisa and Shaun were so welcoming from the moment we stepped into the Villas and the staff were so great, they were happy to help with day trips and scooter hire if we needed. The bungalows are basic but have all that you need, perfect for island life - they felt really comfortable for our four night stay. Also amazing view of the seaweed farms during low tide everyday. We will absolutely stay again.

Leaving.

Friendly owners and staff. The breakfast is fantastic—a big plus and of better quality than other properties within the same price range. The restaurant is also excellent, offering a wide range of great options. We also enjoyed the location, very relaxing and with a pretty ocean view,

Although the room was clean and well-decorated, being a wooden cottage, it can be a bit squeaky when you walk. We did not receive housekeeping during our stay, which was a bit unfortunate since we had requested it and were informed it was included. This may have been a misunderstanding or miscommunication with the staff. Additionally, we experienced a minor inconvenience when the hotel ran out of water for a night. They provided us with two large bottles of mineral water so we could still shower.

I love the look of the property, so beautiful and the staff were all very friendly. I spent my birthday here and they made me feel very special.

When we checked out we found that we had not paid upfront when we booked as we usually do. Apparently there have been other travellers had the same issue as the property is considered a cash property by booking.com. I felt if this was an ongoing problem then it should be made a bit clearer or maybe make people aware there had been some communication problems with payments when checking in instead of leaving it until people check out. (we had booked numerous properties for our trip with booking.com and just presumed we paid upfront like all our other bookings.)

There are only 4 rooms for rent here so it is very personal. The Australian owners Lisa and Sean, are very friendly and have good connections with locals to organise snorkelling tours and transport to mainland Bali. I loved the location, it is a very quiet area compared to Nusa Lembongan, in fact very like Nusa Lembongan was when we went there in 2011. The restaurant is popular with other travellers, and the restaurant and pool are at the bottom of the property, half the time overlooking the sea when the tide is in, and half the time overlooking the fascinating seaweed farming.

Perfectly located on Ceningan island with an amazing view on the seaweed cultures and beautiful sunset scenery in the evenings. Shaun and Lisa will make you feel at home as soon as you walk in, they ensure everything runs smoothly and will help you with anything you might need. We were able to rent a scooter upon arrival, got some useful recommendations during our stay and they even helped to send via boat a book we forgot at the bungalow. Breakfast included was healthy and tasty, but the highlight was definitely dinner they serve in the evening. One of our best experiences so far during our Bali trip, we will be back! Thank you again

That we couldn’t stay longer!

We chose this place, in the beginning because what was available on the dates we wanted in the area (last minute decision). But we ended up liking it very much! With the new owner Lisa & Shawn and staffs they were making sure that we have all what we needed. We just loving all about the place: cute 4-5 cottages, open air bathroom, clean, comfort and quiet 😉. All is simple. Breakfast is good, dinner a la carte by the water at algae-culture plantation is magique. So close to the Yellow Bridge if we want to go across the Lembongan Island. And scoopy-motirbike is handy and for 5-6€ /day you get around the Island in a zip! So all is surely make us happy start at Mista.

None.

Great location, wow factor when you come thru the gates, small, only 5 rooms all very tastefully kitted out. Mosquito nets around bed altho no mosquitoes around.. Outdoor shower and toilet great idea. Fabulous outlook over the ocean and lush seaweed farms.

a separate towel for sea/pool swimming would be helpful as not much drying this time of year.

A little hidden gem, beautiful views, clean and comfortable rooms with attention to detail .

Everything! This place is a diamond in the rough. The hosts are incredible and make you feel right at home in their little piece of paradise. Far and away, our best stay on our Bali trip yet. The food at the restaurant was fantastic, the service was always top notch, the pool was amazing, stellar views of the seaweed farms. The pictures do not do it justice. Can’t say enough great things about this place, if you’re visiting Nusa Lembongan/Ceningan, you absolutely gotta stay here.

There were a few issues with getting water to our bungalow, but it was an island-wide problem, and I appreciated the way our hosts provided alternate water sources when it was out.

Good choices

Water availability at night was an issue yet may have only been when we were there.

The location was great, the owners and staff were very friendly, nice pool, nice restaurant

Everyone is so nice, Shaun and Lisa but also the rest of the staff. It really is a home away from home

Nothing

Spent 2 weeks in this lovely place. Shaun and Lisa are amazing hosts and always have good recommendations on things to do or places to go. The food is great and the beer IS really cold!

Nothing to be disliked.

Our hosts were fabulous and very helpful. All staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. A great spot for a relaxed break.

Great little place set right on the seaweed straits. It was low season and we were the only guests. We stayed in the sea view room closest to the pool and it was great compared to other places we had visited. The bungalows are a good size and very clean. There was lots of space for suitcases, lovely spotlessly clean bedding, nice boho decor and sockets in the right places. The bathroom was huge and decorated lovely. Breakfasts were very very good especially the eggs Benedict. A fridge in the room would make it perfect.

The pool pump had broken so couldn’t really use the pool but they were working to fix this and there’s plenty of pools to use nearby on Ceningan.

We loved staying here. Owner Shaun is a fabulous host because of his love of sharing knowledge and helpfulness. He is a wonderful source of information and all round great person. The staff are also lovely and do a wonderful job of looking after your needs. The breakfast which was included was above and beyond our expectation, we had the Eggs Benny and it was fabulous! The location is also brilliant, I love the outlook across the water to Lombongan and views of the Yellow bridge and everything is close by on Ceningan which is why we love it. The accommodation itself is gorgeous too. Beautiful huts, little front verandah, gorgeous bathroom, hot water, A/C....everything you need and a fabulous restaurant. We loved staying here and tell all our friends about Shaun, the staff and the beautiful accommodation...

I couldn't fault it..

Everything was fairly new and clean, the room and the bathroom were gorgeous! The staff was really nice and acommodating and the owners came to talk to me, felt really welcoming. :)

The only thing that bothered me was the absolute lack of soundproofing of the rooms. The owners (and their friends?) were sitting on the bar/restaurant until late in the night and unfortunately I was able to hear clearly the whole conversation. The privacy of the room in general was also a bit questionable, with windows facing straight to pool area on the other side and to the other room on the other side, without proper curtains to cover them. Also could hear loud and clear the couple next door having sex… All in all enjoyed my stay but the privacy/soundproofing of the rooms really could use an improvement!

Such a great place to stay. Extremely welcoming with high cleanliness standard. The Aussie owners are very interactive with guests and provide lots of banter. Such a good location too.

Nothing

A perfect piece of paradise!!… the villas were amazing, big bed, aircon cold, and bathroom even though outside was private and charming.. even come with a complimentary pamper pack. THE VIEW… WOW !!!! Owners Shaun and Lisa were beautiful hosts who couldn’t do enough for you! Mister Ceningan Beach Bar had the most wonderful food! The Fish Curry, Beef Burger, Avocado pasta and Eye Fillet.. just to name a few.. delighted the tastebuds so much it leaves you wanting more. All the staff were kind, funny and very helpful!! Definitely worth the stay!!

That I was leaving!!!

General location

Room located next to bar and was very noisy. Pool was a bit murky.

The bathroom is spacious and fresh renovated, also you will find complimentary face mask. Room colour is all white, simple but cute. The food in the restaurant very good and staff very friendly and helpful.

the pillows were too high, the air conditioning couldn't cope with the heat during the day

The location was amazing. Right on the beach overlooking seaweed farms. very peaceful and relaxing Lisa and Sean lovely fun hosts

The houses were newly renovated and super clean, the bathroom was probably the biggest surprise as it was very spacious and beautiful (compared to many other accommodations of this price range in Asia). We really loved having dinner at the restaurant - Happy Hour cocktails, Dim Sum, the burger... everything we had for dinner was super delicious and exceeded our expectations.

Location, cleanliness, accommodation, service, food and the hospitality!! Lisa and Shaun are Aussie ex pats who have created a little piece of heaven on earth. The food was first class and the views, scenery - just everything really, was divine.

That we didn't have a few more nights there.

Great team operating the property.

So many lovely finishing touches. Clean comfy room and friendly hosts. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend to friends. Amazing location, beachfront feel with breezily furnished room with such a gorgeous bathroom and pamper pack! What a lovely treat.

There’s a rooster nearby with a lot to say! Nothing to do with the lovely venue. Just a warning for light sleepers to bring ear plugs.

Shaun and Lisa are the best. Beautiful room, great staff and mascotte (miss ceningan) The location is beautiful and the food amazing. If you’re looking for a great stay don’t doubt any longer.. This is the place to be!

That we didn’t stayed longer :( We will definitely come back!

Lisa, Shaun and their staff were absolutely amazing, made us feel at home from the get go. The room was lovely, esp the external bathroom set up and the food was delicious, highly recommend! Miss C, their little pup is an added bonus, she's the cutest little fluff!

The KUBU 221 is elegant in its simplicity. Lovely cabins. Stunning semi-outdoor bathrooms. The best food on the island. A great location where you may get a few more local island insights than over in Lembongan. Best of all is a very welcoming team. I felt very much at home watching the sunsets over the sea from the restaurant and pool.

What’s not to like?

The setting is beautiful and the facilities make the most of the great location.

N/A

In a beautiful and convenient location and Lisa, Shane and the rest of the staff will go over and above to look after your needs.

You can’t use a credit card here and ATM’s are hard to reach. Make sure you bring enough cash.

Everything was wonderful but we couldn’t stay because for some reason the Booking.com website double-booked the property. We arrived and Lisa and Shaun explained they were already fully booked. They were so lovely and helpful, they sorted us with alternative accommodation. We were glad we got to meet them regardless.

Nothing, it was great. They just didn’t have room for us and that wasn’t their fault. Some booking error with the app.

It was the best bungalow we’ve stayed in during our 2 months of travelling Indonesia! Beautiful aspect. Attentive, personable hosts. Tasteful decor. Peaceful vibe.

We loved all of it. The accommodation, the staff, the island vibes, the food. We loved it. Thank you Lisa & Shaun! This place is truly island heaven 😍

There’s no hot water when showering, but this just as a heads up. It didn’t bothered us.

EVERYTHING! Honestly this place is so beautiful. the rooms, the bathrooms, the hospitality, the location - all perfect! Can’t wait to come back 🥰

Shaun and Lisa were really nice hosts and gave good advices and fulfill needs. Their spot is the right place to chill, in front of this amazing landscape and the food is really good, especially this burger with Australian meat ! The Villas are nice as well and the people really at your service and kind. and apparently it’s the cheapest Bingtang of all the island ! ;)

Nothing ! Everything was alright even if this couple has just opened a few weeks ago… Take care with some crazy spicy salad and don’t forget to eat the chicken pop corn…

This accommodation has been newly renovated and presentation was lovely. The outdoor bathroom and room was beautifully decorated. We dined at the restaurant, Mista Ceningan Beach Bar, during our stay and the food was exceptional.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

A small fridge is the room would be great to keep your water cold.

Amazing space with great hosts! The space was clean, comfortable, and very homely. The location is great, and the staff were very accommodating and have created such a relaxing atmosphere. I would highly recommend this property for anyone staying on Lembongan or Cennigan.
