Location, location, location and the most accommodating host we’ve ever had anywhere we have ever stayed. Picture perfect views from the deck. Full size fridge, hammocks, lounge chairs to take down to the beach. If you want to hire a scooter make sure you talk to the host and hire a Bob. Loads of fun scootering around beautiful Gili Air. The Pelangi restaurant next door is great and will bring food over to you and we enjoyed their music. Just loved our stay.
La vue du cottage et les environs
La musique jusqu'à 2.30h du matin le mercredi
A házikó gyönyörű környezetben van, közvetlenül a part mellett. Nagyon jó bárok vannak a közelben. A reggelit minden reggel hozták az időpontra amire kértük. Nagyon finom volt. A tulajdonos nagyon jófej, mindennap volt takarítás. Imádtuk az egészet.
Lepa majhna hišica ob obali, z zasebno klopico na plaži in lepim pogledom na sončni vzhod in zahod. Zelo prijazen lastnik, ki je zelo skrbel za naše dobro počutje in nas dvakrat presenetil z slastnimi brownies. Ukisen Zajtrk dostavljen na teraso točno ob dogovorjeni uri. Prijazni sosedje ti dostavijo tudi večerjo na teraso.
Razgled, lokacija, prijazni domačini, sosedi.
Good location, cute cottage on the main strip with restaurants around. Private space, very clean. Jon was very friendly and helpful
On a Wednesday night a bar nearby has a street party until 2:30am. Music is very loud and can be heard in the cottage. May make it difficult to sleep if staying on a Wednesday night.
Second time at Seaside cottage, we love the location and rustic feel. Jon can’t do enough to make you feel welcome, very accommodating and we asked for a couple of things and actioned straight away. We love this place and Gili Air island paradise.

The cottage was fantastic, located right on the beach. It was also equipped with hammocks outside, which made it possible to relax and spend time pleasantly. The breakfast was very tasty, and the owner was exceptionally helpful and kind.
Muy bien situado, comunicación y atención de 10. Un refugio en el paraíso
Un visuel à couper le souffle dés le réveil Un espace privatif sur la plage Un personnel réactif Lieu calme et à la fois animé en soirée avec les restaurants à proximité
De locatie aan het strand is fantastisch. Het bed was heerlijk De veranda had een lekkere bank waar je kon relaxen en naar voorbijgangers kijken. Restaurants op loopafstand. Snorkelen overal vanaf het strand De rode kat, wat een schatje was dat Cottage was praktisch ingericht. Goede communicatie en info van Jon
Ontbijt was niets bijzonders, alleen de mixed juice was lekker Je huurt geen nieuwe villa dus je moet een beetje op de koop toenemen dat het geheel binnen wat gedateerd was Ben je een feestganger....boek dan op woensdag, kom je voor de rust, vermijd dan de WOENSDAG!. De hele nacht tot zonsopgang dreunende bass en drum in de kamer van de Legends bar. Overige nachten perfecte rust
We enjoyed our stay at the Seaside cottage on the beach. Everything looks like on the photos. The staf are very nice and helpful. Highly recommend😎 You can spot turtles just 300 meters on the right. Everything is reachable by walking distance.
The View is amazing
Everything as all reviews mention.
The checkin at H2O was indifferent.
This place is in an amazing spot, seriously waking up with the beachfront as your front yard, why a view.
It’s a little bit run down, but it’s a rustic cottage on the beach at a bargain price so can’t complain at all.
The location was amazing with the view to the ocean.. Private place rather than in a multi room or bungalow area
The music next door from the restaurant was on all day There were quite a few mosquitos in the bathroom yet no drama
This little gem ticks all the boxes, magical!!! Equipped with everything you need, perfect location, and the view couldn't get better
Nothing
The seaside cottage is a fantastic place to stay . Literally on the beach we will miss that view every morning. Staff are just great cleaning room everyday with fresh towels. Sun beds are provided for the beach. Jon the owner and his staff are so helpful with everything. Don’t hesitate . Book it now. You won’t regret it
Nothing Had to leave
A beautiful bungalow with its own private beach at the quiet end of the island, very peaceful with great restaurant staff next door and a wonderful hand delivered breakfast each morning.
милейшее местечко! вид на море. деревенский стиль домика. по дороге мимо ходят люди, можно сидеть на веранде и наблюдать.
ресепшен внутри острова, в н2о йога студии, что очень неудобно без транспорта, когда ты в вещами, идти по жаре..
Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la nostra privacy in questa baita affacciata sullo splendido mare di Gili Air. Il cottage è molto accogliente e offre tutto il necessario per una vacanza meravigliosa, con una spiaggia di soffice sabbia bianca, lettini prendisole e ristoranti nelle vicinanze che consegnano direttamente in baita o in spiaggia. Il proprietario è stato sempre disponibile e abbiamo usufruito del servizio di pulizia giornaliero. La colazione era inclusa e caffè, tè, latte e acqua in bottiglia erano sempre disponibili. Una doccia calda completava il comfort del posto.
We booked because of the quiet location at the north of the island and the view.
There was construction all day, everyday, right next door which forced us to leave the property for some peace. The owner did warn us days before we arrived but without cancellation available we were stuck without a choice to go somewhere else. Definitely spend a few dollars and go out for breakfast. Amazing places to eat on Gili Air.
The Cottage was perfect, right on the beach and near everything you will need. There are sunbeds at the cottage which we used everyday on the beach which is beautiful. The cottage was super clean and the host was very helpful throughout the entirety of our stay. Would definitely recommend this Beachfront Cottage.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Seaside Cottage, and it wasn’t nearly long enough. The location is almost unbelievable, the beach is literally right on your doorstep. The cottage is charming and thoughtfully designed. It’s compact but has everything you need for a comfortable, relaxing stay on Gili Air. The garden hammocks are perfect for slowing down and watching the world go by, and the small table and chairs on the beach make for unforgettable mornings with coffee or relaxed evenings with a beer. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped for a short stay, and the layout made excellent use of the space. Waking up, opening the curtains, and seeing that view is something you simply can’t beat. Thank you to Jon and Laura for making sure our stay was fantastic from start to finish.
The fact we had to leave!
The view, private beach, loungers. Yoga was discounted if you stay here, yoga classes were amazing. You can get breakfast delivered or eat at yoga place, we ate at yoga place as we found the options so much better there. Yum yum!! The owner was helpful and helped with requests and the staff that cleaned our villa was amazing. We loved everything. One thing is the check out 10-10.30 am, we wish it was 12pm like most places, but it is not a big deal.

Everything! We fell in love with the cottage the moment we arrived and entered the cottage. Every single detail was well thought by Jon to build this cottage. We will not hesitate to recommend single or couple friends to stay here.

As you walk past this little cottage it grabs your eye as it did us. A unique little cottage suitable for a couple that overlooks the beautiful ocean. Pretty much loved everything about this cottage stay. The gorgeous view of the ocean whilst sitting on a very comfy sofa watching the world go by. Loved the big water container provided - reducing plastic bottles and cool water container in fridge - just what you need on arrival! The boy that cleans the room and waters the lawn is very helpful and polite.The breakfast order that gets delivered to the door at the required time with a lovely selection to choose from. The sun lounges and hammocks just waiting for you to sit and soak in the beautiful chilled vibe of Gili Air.
We had to leave!
Localisation idéale, en face de l’océan, on se réveille avec un très bon petit déjeuner et une vue magnifique.
C’est un peu bruyant car proche des restaurants, bars, mais la musique s’arrête tôt !
De veranda met het prachtige uitzicht!
Niets noemenswaardig. Dit is een parel!
Nagyon kedves kis házikó közvetlen a tengerparton. Rengeteg étterem gyalog megközelíthető a parton és biciklivel körbe lehet járni a szigetet. A tulajdonos nagyon kedves és segítőkész, üzenetben bármikor elérhető. A hét napjain a szomszédos klubok felváltva rendeznek előzenés esteket. Aktív pihenőknek és bulizni vágyóknak ajánljuk.
Sajnos a szomszédos éttermek nagyon hangosak éjjelente. Amikor ott voltunk egyik este hajnal 3 óráig szólt nagyon hangosan a zene. Este 10-11 óráig minden nap szól a zene. Nem ajánljuk olyan pàrnak, aki nyugodt, csendes környezetre vágyik esténként. Sajnos a házban nagyon sok a szúnyog és a környéken is.
Magnifique petite maison en bord de plage, proche des bars et restaurants Les pieds dans le sable ! Emplacement parfait, le logement est bien équipé. Le petit déjeuner vous est livré à l'heure que vous souhaitez, il faut juste commander la veille par whatsapp. De l'eau potable à disposition
Bruyant, du fait des bars autours. Cela ne nous a pas posé de soucis car nous avons le sommeil lourd et nous avions les boules quies
Es una cabaña ideal frente al mar, con un porche y pequeño jardín. La casa está bien equipada y cómoda. Nos traían el desayuno cada mañana. Nos encantó.
Vinieron a hacer la limpieza muy tarde, y ya habiamos regresado, por lo que se quedó sin hacer.
Gorgeous cottage in a perfect spot!
The location is fantastic, it’s on the beach. We loved our stay, wished we could have stayed longer. And Jon the owner was very helpful. Communication of all information fantastic!! Thank you very much!!
Seaside Cottage is cosy, well set up and overlooking the northern beach, with hammocks, a fabulous verandah and a private beach area with sunbeds and a table under a shady tree. So many people look on “jealously” as they wander past. The beach is great for swimming at high tide ( around 6 am until 2 pm- check the tides chart). There are beautiful sunsets and a short walk provides views of the sunrise too. Jon is fabulous to deal with and is very responsive, informative and helpful and the staff who come and clean and tend the garden are lovely. We didn’t use the aircon at all as you can open up all the windows and there is a fridge and drinking water, and all the little things you may need including electronic insect repellant. A short walk to the northeast is turtle point and we snorkelled straight off the beach with turtles. Rinjani bar and food next door are very accomodating and will set up a tab and you can take snacks and drinks back to the cottage. They also have fabulous live bands and fire shows and generally wrap up by 20 pm- we loved it. There are plenty of restaurants and earrings plus a mini mart close by. I wouldn’t bother hiring a bike- the paths are mainly sand so most people who do are walking pushing the bike apart from through the centre of the island. I’d recommend ordering the breakfast the night before unless you’re happy to wait up to an hour if ordered in the morning. I recommend the fruit platter instead of a drink as the cottage has a kettle, tea and coffee etc. Jon has contacts in the booklet if you want to organise tours and discounted yoga sessions. I could have happily stayed forever and will definitely be back to this beautiful place with the loveliest of locals. 11/10.
Not a dislike- just a comment. A few times had to ask people to kindly move from the private beach area but didn’t mind when we didn’t want to use it- it’s one of the few spots with a shady tree.
Posizione perfetta, credo la migliore in tutta l’isola.
Struttura spartana benché dotata di tutti i confort necessari
Fantastisk beliggenhed, veludstyret hytte med alt hvad man kunne få brug for.
OK morgenmad som altid blev leveret til tiden men en smule simpelt.
すぐ目の前が海
シャワーの出が悪い。外の音が丸聞こえでうるさい。
Couldnt be a better location, right on the beach front and close to everything you need.
Very much a low-key experience, smallish room and average facilities. Beautiful though!
Wyspa przepiękna, widok z domku obłędny. Właściciel bardzo miły i pomocny.Domek położony jest w świetnej lokalizacji, wyposażony w leżaki, plaża 3 kroki od domku.
Domek potwornie brudny zwłaszcza łazienka, dosłownie można się przykleić, pełno pajęczyn. Ręczniki i pościel poplamione , śmierdzące i bardzo stare. Klimatyzacja praktycznie nie chłodzi Domek śmierdzi pleśnią Zdjęcia nie aktualne, zrobione zapewne kilka lat temu gdy domek był nowy.
Héél leuk huisje op een superleuke plek. Je kan hier volop genieten van het eilandleven. Je hebt een eigen strandje voor deur, met comfortabele ligstoelen. Zalig om van de zonsondergang te genieten. Het huisje is goed uitgerust. Er wordt dagelijks gepoetst, het ontbijt wordt gebracht en is erg lekker.
Eigenlijk niets. Je moet wel weten dat er naast de deur een levendige bar is met live muziek 's avonds. Maar dat vonden wij net fijn. Ze kwamen zelfs cocktails brengen tot op "ons" strandje. Het eindigt rond 22 u en dan is alles stil.
The best thing about this cottage is the location. It is positioned directly next to the beach. The owner gave us some sunbeds that we could put on the beach. The cottage is beautiful and it was a great stay
The cottage is surrounded by restaurants and during the day you can hear music playing all the time (not very loud). Also the apartment could have been cleaned a little better
There is nothing we don’t like It was our third stay and we are planning to come back many more times 😀
We love it all
It was like a dream! We loved everything about it! Don’t hesitate just book!
Nothing!!
This cottage is a dream! It’s magical. It’s the most wonderful place we have ever stayed. It’s just so charming and rustic. The beach is on your doorstep and swimmable too. Gili air has so much to offer with so many restaurants on your doorstep. The property is well equipped with unlimited filtered water (which I can’t tell you how great that is to have) coffee / tea and milk. The lovely cleaner comes round in the afternoon with fresh towels and cleans your room. So great. Just amazing. If you’re thinking about booking don’t hesitate, it’s the best place on the whole island by far. Jon is a fantastic host. Thanks for having us!
Nothing! It’s perfect.
Seaside Cottage is a gorgeous little beachfront cottage on Gili Air. The location and the accommodation are simply perfect. The comfortable bed, clean bathroom, nice outdoor area all make this cottage perfect for your stay. The price is great too,and includes breakfast (which is delivered by one of the local restaurants). Jon was great with communication, and his staff were great. Really nice place!
Perfect spot to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle. It’s one of the best places to stay on the island in my opinion, with direct access to the beach and the entire cottage entirely to yourselves. We absolutely loved it. The island is so small, we walked our suitcases to get the keys and then to the cottage. It’s at the top of the island, so had excellent snorkelling and the water was so calm. There’s cute bars literally next door, so if you really didn’t want to move far, you didn’t need to. I wish I was waking up to the sound of the ocean and walking out my front door to the beach again today but alas my holiday is over :( we will be booking again when we go back to Gili Air
It was perfect
Perfect host, perfect house, perfect island ❤️ we loved it so much! Thank you for everything
What a view! The location is perfect, at the quieter northern end of the island with a number of great restaurants close by. The breakfast delivery each morning is a treat, and delicious! Jon is very easy to deal with and very responsive to any enquiries. All of the staff involved with the cottage and H2O yoga are really pleasant.
We loved everything about the cottage. The host and staff were great. They were always ready to assist but also gave us privacy. It really is the dream location. We spent a lot of time sitting on the porch taking in the salt breeze and the ocean sounds. Thoroughly recommend.
its small and cozy, great view and good location
you need to collect the key really far from the place(so if you are with your belongings its extremely inconvenient)
Direct access to the beach and great reef snorkeling. Need to swim 50-70 m to Han’s Reef. Morning is better when there is low tide and less particles in the water offering great visibility. In the mornings the beach is serene and calm.
It’s not super quiet in the evening. Fortunately music from the bars is usually lounge style, so it’s ok.
The contact was excellent and attentive. The place itself has great little details and was perfectly relaxing. Just a really great place to stay and enjoy island life.
This was the best little get away we have had in our 10 years together, it was perfect! It was a beautiful romantic stay for us, something about the salt air, the sand between your toes and a glass of wine with your loved one as you look at to the ocean that is hard to put in to words. We will be recommending this amazing cottage to all our friends and we hope to return again in the next 12 months.
The location style and class of the little stand alone cottage was the best. The white picket fence and sea view was stunning. The owner provided everything possible for a comfortable stay with loads of pillows and milk in the fridge. Big bottle of refill filtered water, hammocks and recliner lounges for the beach front. Couldn’t ask for more. $50 AUD a night including breakfast.
We arrived to the cottage without realising you have to collect the key from H20 yoga accommodation before your arrival. Breakfast was a little different having to go to another location. The internet was not working at one of the breakfast choice places so they didn’t respond to our calls or messages. THE ONLY BAD THING WAS THE RAVE PARTY AT THE BEACH FRONT PLACE 3 DOORS UP. LOUD EVEN WITH EARPLUGS UNTIL 3 am. I couldn’t hear the waves or get to sleep. Very unfortunate.
Everything about the place is unreal, and rare. Having a cottage of your own right by the beach on Gili Air, and on the Northern point where it's quiet and private and the sea is pristine. The place is perfect for a little getaway. I will say though, that when it's high season and restaurants in the area are open late, you won't be getting sleep early. But during low season it was heaven. :) Getting your breakfast delivered on your porch when you enjoy your morning coffee and the view of the sea is unbeatable. Will come again!
Nothing.
It was such a beautiful cottage, in the most perfect location. This was my favourite property stay in all of my time in Indonesia. I definitely hope to return one day
N/a
The location of this cottage is priceless, right in front of the beach and next to restaurants and bars. The cottage counts with all the things you need, including insect repellents. We would love to stay here again in the future.
I have no words, this place is just amazing.
The property has everything you need Even your own private private beach with a picnic table and lounge chairs A very good beach to swim in
Nothing
Location was great, cocktails one side , massage the other. Beach right in front. Virtually had sunrise one side, sunset the other. Comfortable.
All good
Great location Perfect beach with turtles to the side
The one thing I would add would be a shade over the hammocks
Süße Cottage in toller Lage. Staff was amazing and super considerate and helpful. Breakfast very good!! The cottage was clean and had all of the equipment one can wish for! Check in and out was easy and convenient. We liked the live music and enjoyed listening to it inside the cottage.
Beautiful waterfront cottage in one of the best parts of the island. The cabin is really charming, rustic but comfortable, and communication with Jon was excellent. A real little corner of paradise!
Its the best place I’ve found in the world including more than 100 trips to Indonesia You can’t beat this
Nothing
The location, the view, the service.. everything!
Nothing!
This beautiful cottage is the perfect place to relax. Waking up to the sound of the waves, jumping into the quiet sea and having breakfast with ocean view. We loved it and will definitely come back! Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and live music… It‘s also a good starting point for a run around the island. Jon and the H2O team are really kind and take good care of the property and their guests. Highly recommend!
Nothing :)
Excellent location on a gorgeous beach. View from the bed was awesome!
Bed is very small for us. Husband is 6’4. Just be aware if you book this.
We loved our stay here! It felt like we had our own little piece of paradise on the island! The breakfast was decent. The location was convenient and the cottage was very cute and quaint. They provided so much from chairs, hammocks, beach towels, etc. We will definitely come back!
The only downside was having to go somewhere else to get the key and then drop if back off there instead of the key being able to just be at the location. Made for a longer trip to get from the port to the cottage.
Right on the beach … really chill cafés around the homestay. Well equipped
A little small .
This cottage is a little gem on the whole island. If you are searching for an accommodation on Gili Air, you just found it! Honestly, it was a little home away from home. Breakfast is delivered to your door, but if you prefer a sit down in a cafe, just ask Jon, he will happily welcome you at his cafe on the island where you can have supertasty smoothy bawl.
Everything was perfect and the location is just the best on the island
Wonderful cottage in a perfect location. It has everything you need, including a small cooker if you want to cook your own meals. Close to restaurants, bars and a good snorkelling area. We really enjoyed our time right on the beach.
Host is perfect -- Jhon is very welcoming, responds fast and explained everything you need to know. I'm glad to be able to meet him shortly when I returned the key. Erwin the house keeper is very accommodqting as well. Location couldnt be much better, 20m from the sea and you have your own sunbed in private area. There are restaurants, bars and massage between 100m distance. We didnt explore much of the island bevause we have everything we need close by. Cottage is small but perfect for two since you'll stay mostly outside. You have everything you need for cooking (even toaster!) And the bed is comfy. Fun fact you can lift up the veranda windows so you'll feel the sea breeze. Overall really recommend this place. 100 out of 10.
- shouldve stayed longer!!! :) - We tried some of the breakfast menu and it was a bit bland to us ( the kitchen is from 3rd party) - This does not bother us at all, but the bars have live music/party so it might not be suitable for very light sleeper - Again, this does not bother us at all, but when people pass by the cottage, it's normal for them to take a glance at the cottage (since it's awesome), so it might not be comfy for some.
My fiance and I have decided we will have our honeymoon in this cute cottage! We have so many amazing memories from our time there. We spent a lot of time on the day bed sofa on the verandah just looking out to sea, thinking about our beautiful future together. The staff visited daily for cleaning and anything we needed we just sent a Whats App message to the owner and it was taken care of. The delivered breakfast was perfect and the cottage itself had so many nice touches for comfort and to make it feel like home. We thoroughly recommend!
Great location with a nice view. I love to hear the sounds of wave while sleeping! I also enjoy the kitchen.
There are something in the cottage that cause me to have a runny nose and feel sick. I don't know what is in there. Once I left this cottage and check in another hotel. I didn't have a runny nose and sick. I think there is something that they use to clean, spray to kill the bugs or some chemical that my body couldn't accept.
Location was top spot on the island. Endless sea views, comfy balcony furniture and free water.
Low water pressure, although Jon is fixing it.
Super cute little cottage directly at the beach. Perfect for hanging couple of days with the possibility for privacy and everything just next door :)
We absolutely loved how unique and inviting the cottage was, as well as the location being absolute beach front. The facilities were also great, the bed is comfortable and there’s a lovely daybed on the front veranda to enjoy the view. It was the perfect spot to watch the sunrise and sunset from right outside the cottage, and the beach was great for swimming at higher tides.
The only trouble with this cottage is that it is located right next to a restaurant which often plays music during the night. However we thoroughly enjoyed the convenience of being right next to a bar/restaurant so it was worth the trade off!
During our recent visit to Gili Air, we had the pleasure of staying at the delightful Seaside Cottage, and it was an experience that surpassed all expectations. Owned by the incredibly kind and compassionate Jon, this cottage is a haven designed with utmost guest comfort in mind. From the moment we arrived, we noticed the thoughtful attention to detail that made our stay truly special. Every aspect of the cottage was meticulously planned, right down to the inclusion of small amenities like a scissor, a small towel, and multiple international plug points. These little touches made us feel right at home and showed the owner’s commitment to ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for every guest. Situated right in front of the beach, the location of Seaside Cottage couldn’t have been more perfect. With no obstructions or interruptions, we had the luxury of easy access to the beach anytime we desired. The tranquility and beauty of the surroundings were simply breathtaking, creating a serene atmosphere that melted away our worries and allowed us to fully unwind. While the water pressure in the tap varied, Jon took the time to explain the situation to us and expressed his dedication to improving it. This level of transparency and commitment to guest satisfaction was truly commendable. It demonstrated Jon’s genuine care for his guests and his constant efforts to enhance their experience. The cottage’s well-equipped kitchen was another highlight. It had everything one would need to prepare their own meals, allowing us to enjoy the convenience and flexibility of cooking during our stay. It added a touch of homeliness and made our experience even more enjoyable. Our two-night stay at Seaside Cottage was nothing short of fabulous. The serene atmosphere, the attention to detail, and Jon’s warm hospitality created a memorable experience that we will cherish.
Water pressure but hey, a small island, and it won't have all the city facilities.
The location and cottage are beautiful. It is an idyllic setting. The balcony and views are amazing. Although it says no breakfast included Jon organises with a local restaurant to deliver breakfast to your door (at no extra cost). You just place your order with the time you want it delivered the afternoon before. There is an information pack with some local numbers in which was very useful. We used Carla to book a private boat trip. She was incredibly helpful and even acted as our cash machine as the local one didn't have any money in it!! It cost £55 for 5 hours and worth every penny - Andy the skipper speaks very good English and was very knowledgeable. We also used the information pack to book our horse and cart to take us to the ferry - around 200 IDR. There are plenty of bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk. The main town is walkable but would take 20 - 25 minutes.
The local bars take it in turn to have a late night opening and Legend (next door but one) has it on a Wednesday. It is loud and goes on until 2-3 am. Earplugs are provided in the cottage! Whilst we were there the next door bar decided to have an extra party on the Friday. They notified Jon that this was happening and to be fair Jon booked us another room for the night inland so that we wouldn't be disturbed 2 nights out of our 4. We chose not to take up his offer as we really loved waking up in the cottage with the sound of the waves and views.
A gorgeous little bed sit cottage with it's own private beach area, situated in the best place on the island. Perfectly positioned to see the sunset and sunrise. Jon was an excellent host, very informative and helpful and checked in often to see how we were getting on. The rooms were well air conditioned and comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked for all your needs. A welcome pack gave us a bunch of contact numbers for activities and useful information which we took full advantage of. Breakfast was delivered to us each morning from a local cafe and was very tasty, and the Pelangi bar next door also made us feel very welcome. Jon has done an excellent job at making this little shack feel comfortable and homely and I would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a great few days. James and Lisa
The water pressure in the shower is pretty much non existent and what little there is only lasts a few minutes but this was a small price to pay for what is otherwise a little slice of paradise
The place to be! Great location, clean cottage, with lots of storage space and fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook by yourself. Nice bars and restaurants near by and you can enjoy sunrise as well as sunset on your own little "private" beach. We really enjoyed relaxing at the porch and in the hammocks. It was hard to leave this cute cottage after three nights and we hope to return one time!
The water pressure in the shower was low when we stayed here one month ago.
Get your own piece of paradise - from the most serene early morning sunrise to the traditional house down to your own beach. Great breakfast, the host is super nice and the place is incredible just to be there - one of the few places where there is actually proper grass. I have to circle back to the host: he is helpful, caring, friendly and well prepared. The cottage has all and more then you'll need.
The property is made out of wood, with the traditional local technique - so the sound isolation is theoretical - as there is a bar on one side and a massage place on the other, this means that you hear everything. This is not an issue as usually by 10 it's over.
Our staying at this a cute little cottage was just magical, we loved everything about it! Just a few steps from restaurants, spa, and the snorkeling equip.. btw we had the best snorkeling experience ever swimming just 7minutes to the right side of the beach (facing the ocean) beautiful corals, fishes and TURTLES 🥹🥰✨ John is friendly and helpful! We are definitely going back to spend more time at this magical island.
The location is magical. You’re gonna fall asleep to the sound of the waves and wake up to the delicious blue right outside the window! The cottage has been recently and thoughtfully renovated. They’ve made the most of the cosy space with the layout, even managing to have a comfortable patio to relax on. With it comes a little patch of beach just outside that you could claim for yourself - it even has a little table and bench. The owner, Jon runs a yoga centre in the middle of the island. He’s extremely warm and welcoming, overall plenty of tips to enjoy the island. If, like me, you’ve always fantasised about a house on the beach, this little cottage is just for you!
Haha the shower is a bit of a joke really, just a little stream of water that was extremely temperamental - there were times when it was only drops of water coming out. A compromise that I was happy to make given everything else :) Word of warning - unlike me, make sure you stop in the middle to collect your keys for check in. I paid for a ride all the way to the cottage to only realise the keys were all the way back. Not the best walk in the heat after a hectic ferry ride.
