Country Houses in Midang

Noah

The Country House is a hidden gem. The property is located at the base of a national park set in a lush rain Forrest environment. I've been catching morning sun by the pool, listening to the abundance of bird life, and looking up through the trees to the mountain tops on either side of the valley. No traffic noise. No hawkers. Just great energy. The place is owned and managed by Jim, a retired American that has lived and worked in Indonesia for many years. He and his staff are only too happy to help steer you in the right direction for things to do and places to eat. Yesterday we joined Jim for the local Hash House Harriers event, where we tracked through the Forrest following a trail of shredded paper. We had a blast and it was a great way to meet the locals and see village life. The rooms and amenities at the Country House are all well maintained , clean, practical and functional. The grounds include a tennis court, pool and areas of garden and lawn, which is perfect for family travellers with kids or active couples. Getting to and from restaurants is about a 3 minute drive. We have been using the local uber app called "Grab" to get around , and the fare to the restaurants is Rp37'000 (~$3). Alternatively, the staff can help you order from local restaurants and have the food delivered.
