KEBUN IMPIAN has an area of 2,000 square metres and consists of our family temple, 5 buildings, an open restaurant , a swimming pool and 2 bales ( gazebos ) overlooking the Lombok Straits. We have 2 bungalows and 2 rooms which are available for guests . The restaurant serves mainly Indonesian and Balinese dishes but we have many other tempting dishes. The swimming pool overlooking the sea has 3 areas and functions : 1 - an area for young children 2 - a lap pool and 3 - an area for just rest and relaxation. The 2 bales over look the sea and are wonderful spaces to relax in - you can also eat your meals and watch the sun going down tin them. All these parts are joined together by lush tropical gardens with sculptures and water features. We have no immediate neighbours to our east or west - to our north we have a good road access and to the south we have the sea. It is a peaceful place and a great place to relax and to come home to after a busy day exploring Bali !!
