Our mission is to honour the nature and culture of this beautiful island. As part of the rice field eco-system, we try continuously to reduce our footprint.
Our Joglos are hand carved using Javanese traditional techniques, from 100% recycled and antique teak. The Joglos are designed to circulate the cool rice field breezes, and are not air conditioned. All rooms are fan cooled, and all beds have mosquito nets.
When building, all trees are transplanted where essential, but we prefer to incorporate them into our buildings wherever possible. You will see part or whole trees in many of our Suites.
We produce much of our electricity using both solar panels, and our own windmill. As Bali’s climate is warm all year round, initially installing solar panels for hot water was an easy and effective choice to save on gas and electricity. Installing the windmill is our recent upgrade.
A large portion of the Rice Joglo property is dedicated to food production. We're passionate about harvesting home grown food, and you'll find our garden fruits, vegetables and herbs in your daily complimentary breakfast. Your eggs will be laid fresh by the ducks.
We love to show our guests how food is traditionally grown in Bali, and the ways in which Balinese farming utilises the natural volcanic soil. Some guests even like to get their hands dirty! Our gardener will be happy to show you the seasonal produce, and how crops are rotate.
The food farm, along with other local Sok Wayah farmers supplies our in house restaurant The Organic Farmer.
Our Garden is Fully Sustainable. Food waste is minimised by using fresh ingredients over preserved or packaged ingredients. Organic waste is fed to the ducks, who in turn supply eggs for your breakfast. Water is diverted and re-routed back into the Subak. Crops are regularly planted, and rotated for the health of the soil.
We keep an assortment of animals well cared for and comfortable in their own custom built "Joglos". The animals provide compost and the ducks lay eggs.
We love to nurture a love of animals in our guests, particularly children. Children love collecting eggs from the ducks each morning (along with some greens for your omelet!)
Other rice field wildlife roams free on the property. Our resident cat Schlukie is part of this eco-system. She either catches or discourages mice and snakes from getting into guest areas so you should never have to see one (!)
