Reviews of Salty Siesta Stays

You can’t beat the character and charm of this accommodation, it’s the little details that make it so special. Fully equipped with all the amenities, nothing was overlooked. If you're after an authentic, beachside getaway, this is the place. Surrounded by lush greenery and just a short walk to one of the most stunning beaches, it truly feels like a hidden escape. A solo female traveler, I felt completely safe exploring all that Lombok had to offer. A surfer’s paradise and a nature lover’s dream! Enjoyed the pool. Beds were super comfy and enjoyed meeting fellow travellers. Wayne and his team were incredibly welcoming — nothing was ever too much trouble.

What a lovely, quirky place to stay. Loved the character of traditional houses, the smell of the old wood is just fabulous. Location is perfect, in the centre of everything in Selong Belanak but quiet and private. Free use of bicycles a bonus. The pool a little oasis we enjoyed a dip in everyday. Coffee maker in the room such a bonus. Wayne an exceptional host, lovely man who generous with time. Nothing is a problem.

Wayne has designed a place that he would like the stay in with lots of small touches that make your stay comfortable. The cabanas are restored original Java houses from the 60s and 70s. There is a gym which I used most days. The pool is small but delightful for a cooling dip. Our kitchen had coffee pods, lots of nice snacks and there were lots of recommendations for places to eat. We got delivery in as well as trying lots of good places to eat. the beach which is 5/10mins walk is stunning. Highly highly recommend this place to relax and enjoy the best of what Lombok has to offer.

It was 10/10 so nothing.

Everthing is taken care super beautiful decorative comfortable place and really nice location

It was inviting the garden was lovely good coffee in the rooms host and staff are really nice and helpful I give it a 10 out 10

The quiet setting, the beautiful wooden bungalow, the garden, the friendly staff, the stylish room, the boozy minibar, the gym and pool.

Everything was perfect, honestly

The little original Javanese houses. All the wonderful facilities (e.g always hot water in the bathroom, the coffee machine the verandah with chairs), the little touches (e.g the desk, the not overpriced mini bar, the books), good humoured Wayne very comfortable bed, good lighting. Basically, I loved it all 💖

The only thing I didn't like was that I could only stay for 2 nights 😪

Loved the beautiful wooden property with authentic art, Monte the dog, the friendliness of all around, the beach and very welcoming owner Wayne.

All was perfect

10 minutes walk to the sea, 5 minutes by bike.

I didn't have enough mosquito nets on the windows to sleep with the windows open and natural ventilation in the bathroom. If the doors are closed while we are not at home, the room should be naturally ventilated. Especially since it is wooden. This is a hole in the ceiling and a net. It's simple. But it should be

I liked the total laidback atmosphere. Everything has the Wayne (owner) look and feel. Very comfortable to stay in one of the beautiful Java houses with all you could possibly need. Also some great beaches and restaurants nearby.

Cannot think of anything…

The place is absolutely amazing! We were arrive late and there is no problem in the checking process. Wayne is the guy! He gave us a lot of recommendations on where to eat, go and see and we did some of his recommendations and all of them are great and the details are just really good. Wayne and his staff really took a good care of us, facilities are on point. Got to use the free bikes provided to go around, nice pool, cold ac and many things. We will def stay here again when we are coming back to Selong Belanak. Thank you Wayne and team!

The accommodation is one of the best of our 2 month Indonesia trip. The host Wayne and the staff are helpful, friendly and always ready for a pleasant conversation. We felt at home from the second we arrived. The accommodation offers a cute bungalow in which nothing is missing. The coffee machine is a big plus and very rare in Asia ;) . The bed is large and cozy, the furnishings inviting and modern. Wayne has an eye for detail, there are lots of little things to discover and the plans he has for his property sound fantastic. Free bikes, a small pool, easy scooter rental, a gym, the beach is only a few minutes away by bike, there is a good selection of restaurants. For surfing there are several very good spots for beginners but also for intermediate surfers nearby. The accommodation is still an insider tip, as is the whole village. I think it won't be long before you have to book the accommodation well in advance - so the best time to go there is now! 🏝️🌊🌞🧉🌺🐚🍹 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and best regards, Nick and Viola

The bungalows, the furniture, decoration and all the equipment are just wonderful! Wayne and the salty team are great hosts. The beach is just around the corner.

This property is amazing! The owner, Wayne, bought seven or more Central Javanese Traditional houses disassembled them, transported them to Lombok and reassembled them into the cutest little traditional village of individual bungalows imaginable! There is a nice little pool and the gardens are immaculate! He has filled the bungalows with fine art and antiques and his tastes are impeccable. This is a unique and restful place to stay!

I can not say a single negative word about this place.

Amazing place! Super cool house with a lot of details and equipped with everything you might need (and even more). Nespresso coffeemaker, bugspray, boons, games. The owner Wayne is super friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay, thanks :)

Great welcome with a large fruit plate to use whenever you like during your stay (not yet cut open). Beautiful traditional bungalows with an eye for detail, comfort and service. Lush garden and a convenient little pool. In walking distance from Selong Belanak beach.

My bungalow didn't have the most comfortable seat, but fixed it by taking one of the Thai cushions from one of the barugas. So all good in the end. The swing at the porch is a very cute touch.

Everything about this property is fantastic, intimate, botique, and a slice of paradise. The intention behind the rooms, amazing pool, ammenities (including gym and bike use), plus ice cold air con, fantastic shower, and Nespresso machine were all top notch. Lots of extra special touches have gone into everything from design, decor, and the guest experience and it was such a pleasant surprise and experience. We highly recommend this beautiful stay while in Selong, we hope to be back!

Short but sweet stay, boosted over to lombok for couple nights and sadly only booked 1 night here, facilities amazing, so close to the beach. Beautiful pool and outdoor area, has a gym, push bike and even a board that wayne lent me. Thank you for your hospitality, this property is one of a kind, everywhere you look no matter for how long you will see different little cool details. Beds linen rooms A+ Will be back for sure

What a fabulous place to stay, boutique accommodation with such character!! Think I was one of the lucky first! Amazing Antique Teak Houses resettled from Java, all individually styled & decorated, the Interiors are just incredible! Everything has been so well thought out and executed. The artwork I understand is the owner's, his taste is eclectic and so works. He is on site each day to welcome and assist in every way. Room included all the amenities needed; The Comfiest Bed, Crisp Cotton Sheets, Icy A/C, Lounge, Fridge with Mini Bar (stocked w Local Treats + Mini Bottles), Table + Chairs on Balcony for my morning Coffee or evening Aperitivo & all rooms have a Nespresso Machine!!! The Pool is super cool; circular and in the centre of property- making for a great place to hang out and meet other guests. Just love the Stripey Sun Lounges and Crochet Sun Umbrellas!! Across the road – Selong Belanak is the most amazingly clean, uncrowded beach; ideal for Swimming, Sunbaking, Learning to Surf and not to mention Laut Baru Beach Club – Sunset 'Ginger Martinis' at Happy Hour... Such a refreshing & welcomed change from the madness, traffic and busyness that has become BALI!! There are also a load of local little Warungs up the beach and other great Restos in the little town of Selong Belanak.. Have tried most and loved them all... Almost forgot to mention the SURF BREAKS - just a few mins away!! SERANGAN + MAWI + MAWUN!!! Am so TOTALLY coming back with a group of friends or even for a big family holiday!! Can’t wait & Cannot believe I hadn’t discovered LOMBOK sooner!!! SALTY SIESTA is ideally located in SELONG BELANAK, South Lombok - Only a 20min flight from Bali and airport is a quick 30min drive away ‘sans’ Bali traffic... Thanks again Wayne and please give Monte a pat from me. Cheers, E

Loved it ALL!!
