A two-story teak home surrounded by dancing banana palms and vibrant rice paddies, Jambu House is perfect for a family or small group. The original gladak house — a traditional Javanese structure with a distinctive high-pitched roof — has been transformed into a large two-bedroom duplex.
Upstairs, natural light streams into a bedroom with two double beds, colorful linens, fine rugs, and art; a whimsical tunnel leads to a bamboo bathroom with a hanging copper tub. The expansive porch offers sunset views over the majestic Bongkasa landscape.
Down a spiral staircase, the second bedroom has a queen-size bed, reclaimed ironwood floor, tribal art hung on the mud walls, and skylights to invite in the natural light. The dazzling bathroom offers an open-air rain shower, twin copper sinks, and a Javanese stone tub in a lush garden setting complete with fish pond.
The large veranda is just steps from the pebble-lined communal pool and terrace overlooking the rice fields.
