Pondok Cowet

West Java


Tucked down a dirt road 50m from the main fishing beach and in a garden filled with tropical flowers and fruit trees (guests can pick their own fruit), this attractive option offers cool brick-house cabins and rather creative modern rooms with a mosaic of floor-to-ceiling glass, exposed brick walls, pebbled bathroom floors and cow-print blankets.

It's a bit further from the Point, at the end of the main surf beach, but is a good option for those more interested in surfing the Reef.
