    This stay is very charming with exterior boat like rooms. It is beach front. Comfortable bed and pillows. The breakfast was very tasty (I got an omelette with two slices of toast, fruit and coffee), included when paid for the breakfast option. There is a great Mexican restaurant next door as well as a coffee shop and mini market across the street. We rented motorcycles so it was easy to go to all spots. Staff is wonderful.

    Absolute gem on Cemara Beach

    • Double Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 1 night

    There is a nice little table and stools on the deck, a bit hard to relax on, a comfy chair would be nice if you need to do some work or read a book - but there is seating and lounges down by the waters edge, And I'm not fond of aircon, especially through the day - a fan would be nice (even on the deck). However Ketut helped me out immediately and brought me a pedestal fan. which was lovely. These are more suggestions than what I didn't like. Aside from that I think this place is the best. As far as people not liking music from neighbours, it's not loud, you can hear it until about 10pm but it's more quiet background music. If it was a problem, you wouldn't hear it with the door closed and air con on. I quite enjoyed it.

    Hidden behind a little gate on Cemara Beach sits this little oasis. Such a lovely energy, for a peaceful stay. Only four bungalows shaped like boats all facing the sea. Ketut and Putu are such kind and helpful hosts. They will literally drop everything to respond to a request. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. I asked Ketut where I could get a coconut and he climbed a tree and got me one! The bungalows are spacious, with the most comfortable bed I've slept in for ages, with lots of big fluffy pillows. Gardens are well maintained and the view is picture perfect. One review said you can't swim here, that's not true - but expect lots of coral - it's an island. Coffee across the road at Penida Bakery is the best I've had for ages (Italian coffee machine no less). Many little pathways in the area lead to gorgeous restaurants overlooking the ocean. It's been fun to explore!

    We loved everything :)

    Our favourite place to stay in Nusa Penida. The hosts are absolutely lovely, they are very kind & helpful. We were able to rent a scooter with them, everything was a breeze. We got a flat tire on the road, they came and saved us within minutes! We were so grateful & appreciated everything they did for us. The breakfast was amazing, every single morning. The omelettes are a generous size and are loaded with vegetables unlike other omelettes we’ve had on the island. The banana pancakes are delicious as well. The room was spacious and comfortable. Lots of room for your luggage and stretching/exercising. It was very clean upon arrival. The mattress was so comfortable, we slept well because it was so comfy. Same with the pillows and blankets. The AC worked well, the room was nice and cool. We had hot water for showering, no issues. There was a wardrobe as well for your clothing. The view of the ocean is beautiful, you can hear the waves crashing. A very peaceful place to stay. If you want to relax in the sun they also have loungers to tan. If the tide allows for it, you can also walk down a few steps to the water. If you’re hungry, there’s a delicious Mexican restaurant right next door. We will definitely be staying here again when we do our next trip to Nusa Penida.

    Since it is a small hotel with only 4 rooms, there wasn't much to do in hotel itself, other than watching waves crash.

    Nice location, right by the ocean and on the happening street of Penida. All the amenities were close by. Rooms were clean however there was a small leak in our bathroom Basin. Staff were friendly and very helpful but they are not available all the time and have to call them if needed.

    This is not a swimmable beach. Having that said, the environment is very peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful views of Gunung Agung in good weather. I still enjoyed it a lot.

    The staff at the resort are excellent. They make you feel truly welcome and help out with everything, including arranging a motorbike with driver for me to take me around the island. The facilities are really good and offer great value for money. I found the boat-shaped bungalows to be very comfortable. The breakfasts are good. The resort is in a quiet area of Nusa Penida, but there are several restaurants and some basic shops around. Those who stay here get a discount at the local place called the Corner Bar, which has great food and drinks, as well as an awesome sea view.

    Only one small caveat: don‘t expect a sandy beach from the pictures, that does not really exist in Nusa Penida‘s north!

    The Umah Prahu Bungalows are exactly what the pictures promise: a really beautiful, relaxed way to stay on Nusa Penida, with an amazing view. The staff was really friendly, the breakfast really good and the bed very comfortable. Also, a good Warung with nice views as well as a supermarket are right next door if you’re looking for food or water. We had a great time and would recommend this place to everyone visiting Nusa Penida!
