Homestay Rijasa TirtaGangga — Hotel in Kecamatan Abang

This small guesthouse is great value for money, in a convenient location. The rooms consist of a series of bungalows in a pretty garden, just across the road from the entrance to the water palace. The larger "deluxe" bungalows have hot water in the bathrooms and large front porches with a sun lounger, a table and two chairs (the buildings are mostly built duplex-style, so you have 1 wall shared with the next door unit, but you don't hear much noise from next door, and there's a divider separating your side of the porch from theirs). The smaller standard bungalows are cold water bathrooms and their porches are slightly smaller, with chairs but no lounger. Everything is clean and the beds are comfy, and being in the hills, you don't need AC at night. The bed was made up with a blanket and no top sheet, but they were happy to provide a second sheet upon my request. The prices are really good value (probably because this place isn't listed in the Lonely Planet type guide books) and the old guy who runs it is very friendly and welcoming, and picked fresh flowers from his garden to bring to my room after I checked in. He also acts as a guide, but it wasn't really a hard sell (he noticed my hiking boots and asked if I wanted to go out with a guide, but that was it). There is a little bit of noise from the main road, but I suspect as the town is so small, you'll get that noise almost everywhere in town. Overall, I was very happy with...
