This delightful guesthouse, at the top of the tiny village of Kalikuning, has three chalets with bamboo fixtures and fittings within the family acreage. But the main attraction isn't the rooms, the beautiful rural location or the quaintness of the village – rather it's the genuine emphasis on family hospitality. Meals are possible (lunch or dinner 30,000Rp) but private transport is required.
