We have lived and worked in Central Kalimantan for over thirty years. We like to invite our guests to experience a piece of Kalimantan and strive to make the experience as authentic as possible.

In our guesthouse, you’ll encounter traditional Dayak building methods and materials combined with modern wooden architecture and a touch of fine-tuned services. If you’re coming to Kalimantan, you may know that this isn’t the most developed part of Indonesia. We try to offer you an interesting mix of simple, culturally appropriate living combined with basic luxuries and comfort amenities. The tropical lifestyle invites you to interact with nature, local customs, and habits.

Yes, we try to keep you away from unexpected wildlife encounters, but you still risk experiencing things you probably wouldn’t experience in a 5-star hotel in air-conditioned rooms with marble and glass architecture. In other words, we’re not trying to turn Kalimantan into Europe! Are you up for the challenge? We would love to welcome you to our home for a while and make you part of our family! Welcome to Kalimantan!

The Bukit Raya property was and still is a small forest, and the neighbours called it “Hutan Angker,” which means “spiritual forest.” There were rumours that ghosts and spirits haunted the property… But don’t worry, just drop by and discover the good spirits on the property.
