Accomodation

  • Because our farm is remote, and our food is wonderful, we provide all meals for our guests. One Day Rate is the minimum requirement to access your time & space on the farm. The menu and activities we offer are some of the reasons our guests continue to come back, year after year. It is our promise to offer you a great value, and fantastic, healthy flavors, while you are on the farm.

  • Our Day Rates allow for some flexibility in this regard. For Saturday arrivals, for example, guests are welcome to join us for breakfast at 8 a.m. If no one is checking out of your chosen lodging on your arrival day, your room will also be open to you on arrival. If there are guests checking in/out on the same day, we adhere to standard times of 12 noon for checkout, 2 p.m. for check ins, but you are welcome to arrive on the farm & enjoy our activities, and common area facilities prior. and have ample time to settle into their lodge. Check-out is after lunch, around 2 p.m. This is also very flexible according to your schedule and availability in our space as well.

  • All of our bungalow rooms are set with king beds, for double occupancy, but were designed with extra space for single, bunk, or baby beds. The number of guests we can accommodate per lodge varies depending on the bungalow, from 3-8 people each- check out the lodges page to see details specific to each lodge. In our Leuit Glamping Village, we can accommodate up to 4 guests per Leuit.

  • We designed all of our outbuildings to use solar DC power systems, to further lower our carbon footprint, as well as to demonstrate the viability of solar power lighting systems. We have three lodges which have AC power outlets, so you can keep your almond milk cold, and phone charged. Those are: The Library, Imah Babeh, and Loft Dukuh Atas. For those staying in our other lodges or in the Leuit Glamping Village, we provide plenty of power points in our main buildings so you can charge up during the day.

Wifi

  • We installed our own dedicated data connection to allow individuals & groups to work online, from the mountain. Wifi is best in our workshop space, which some have turned into a farm office during their stays. Coverage does not extend to the rooms by design, though, as we encourage our guests to try & take a break from screens, & look into the forest more. Cellular coverage is available on the mountain, fyi.
