Gading Treehouse — Local services in Nusa Penida Subdistrict

Although it was two months ago, I still have to recommend the Gading Tree House on Nusa Penida Island. All the staff, including the driver and our tour guide, did their best to make our stay an unforgettable experience for the two days my parents and I stayed there.

Especially the manager of this hotel, who was patient and friendly and spoke Chinese! She made my non-English speaking parents feel incredibly welcome. We also cooked chicken noodle soup together on our last night and had a very enjoyable night with them .

Also, i have to mention that before we got to the island, the hotel staff provided us with a detailed guide to buying boat tickets and told us a reasonable price range for transportation . Since we don't know how to ride a motorbike, the staff picked up all of our dinners here for us, which were affordable and delicious.

The tour guide we went with did his best to take countless wonderful photos of us, despite not being proficient in English. Took us to treasure shooting spots he found himself. When we were climbing the mountain, he helped us carry our water bottles and luggage, which was really touching.

I really recommend Gading Tree House...

The outside area area incl the pool is just as beautiful as in the pictures.

Staff is nice, but sometimes their English is just not good enough to communicate effectively with hotel guests.

The hotel is beautifully located close to nature, but that means in return you will need a motorbike or private driver to take you anywhere. It's at least a 25-30 min walk along a (partially) very steep road to get to any restaurants or shops. The hotel offers the opportunity to order food from one of the restaurants, which is nice. However, in my case they did not mention the delivery fee. The money was not a big deal, but still an unpleasant surprise.

The walls of the room are also very thin so you hear everything from outside: wild life, people talking or walking in front or above your room etc...

Overall I enjoyed my stay and would recommend Gading Treehouse, but there were just these few points that did not make it a 5*...

We had such an amazing and restful experience at Gading Tree House in Nusa Penida. The crew was very welcoming and sweet, always available for questions and help, and one of the owner, Novi, was super knowledgeable about the island and the attractions to visit. Listen to her advice, they're the best!!|The room was honestly lovely, the pool is bating in sun all day and the area of the hotel is soooo quiet. This is the best place to go if you want to rest, but know that it is a bit remote from the rest of the island (only 10 minutes by car or scooter, which is really not that much). It is preferable also if you like to be surrounded by the sounds of nature! The fauna of Nusa Penida is alive and triving in this area, it is the perfect spot to observe birds all day. The rooms were cleaned everyday, and it is honestly great value for price. Book now!! Thanks to Novi and the rest of the team, we had a lovely time...
