The top level is for socialising. A large lounging area with wooden day beds and batik cushions. We put the projector on at night with the surround sound for a good action film or sit back with the guitar and watch the sunset. The shelves are full of paints, board games and magazines. Complimentary fast WIFI is available for guest use. ​ The open kitchen and marble bar area are set up with refrigeration and cooking facilities. Make yourself at home with cold beers or pots of homemade lemongrass and ginger tea. The outdoor kitchen area has a hot plate for BBQ's and a wood fire oven for pizza nights and fresh bread. Clean drinking water is provided. Outdoors we have a paved secure parking area with a basketball hoop, seating area and pool table. This area looks over the hills of Maluk and you can relax in the private outdoor shower surrounded by ferns, passionfruit flowers and bougainvillea vines. ​ Downstairs we have six private bedrooms, where you can escape to a quiet corner with a book. Large bamboo bed frames with fresh white cotton sheets, towels and mosquito nets. The rooms have panoramic views of Maluk bay and the mountains.

We started building in 2010 and in 2017 we opened up our rooms to share our beautiful home. We drink our coffee in the morning with a backdrop of a world-class wave; surrounded by gardens, green with tropical flowers, fruit trees and butterflies.

​ Sumbawa is one of the largest and most unpopulated islands in Indonesia. This is evident around Merdeka House with secluded and hassle free beaches, waterfalls and walking tracks. You can wake up early and watch the fishing boats with their baskets of fish returning from a night at sea. The fishermen sell the fish straight from the beach or you can head to the local fresh food and handicraft markets. Some things to lookout for are Sumbawa coffee beans and mangosteens. Along with West Sumbawa antiques and hand woven baskets.
