Arunika Cottage

Lovely accommodation in Nusa Penida. The hosts are excellent, the breakfasts are lovely and it is a great place to spend a couple of nights on the island. It is a little way from the port but a great spot to explore both sides of the island if you wanted to.

Rooms are clean and modern and spacious. The AC is a little weak but they put it on for us before we arrived so the room was cool. Breakfast was delicious and served to you on the terrace. We rented a scooter from them and everything was fine. We booked the manta trip through them which was really useful, they also organised ferry to Gili Trawangan for us. Pool was lovely too! Calm and relaxing stay :)

We had a great relaxing stay in this cottage, personnel is very nice, rooms are clean and confortable, would definitely recommend!

About the rooms are not exactly the same that in the photographs, the walls are dirty and when we enter in the room we found some geckos there. Probably because there was like a cranny in the bathroom.
About the trips we booked a snorkel trip to Manta Point with two options (50% and 90% to see Mantas) one more expensive than the other (difference is the price, not the visibility of the Manta). We didn’t see one. If the sea is too bad to see them in other cases they would tell you. Nevertheless the guys of the boat where so cool, warm and such nice people and they are not to blame.
Finally, we rent a motorbike for two days and in the last day parking the motorbike my girlfriend (Not the motorbike) fell off. The bad part of this when we came back to the hotel we found Wayam (the hoster) and we told her about the incident. Don’t do that. Because on the last day appear the guy of the motorbike telling us that the moto “doesn’t turn OK, that felt too stiff” and that we have to pay 120 euros (2000000 IDR) for the repair. It is a good form to convert an cheap hotel to became a good scam. We still waiting for the invoice too see what parts are going to be repair.
We asked the taxi guy that brought us to the port (hired by the hotel) if it is usually this types of additional charges to the tourist. And he told us that we had to be careful driving if we don’t use usually motorbikes considering our “accident”.

We recently stayed at Arunika Cottage after we had to move out of other local accommodation, due to a couple of issues. The host was fantastic, incredibly accommodating, and couldn't have been more helpful. We really felt welcomed, and it completely saved our time on Nusa Penida. I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting Nusa Penida.

Everything is very perfect. Very much clean clean rooms. Good family. Closer to port who is planning to go back to kuta.

This was a very cute place on the north side of the island situated conveniently between the Port and atuh/diamond beach. Has a few villages near by and some nice beach clubs (the chill, cactus).
Place was just up a cliff off the main road so it was very peaceful, apparently for the anavoidable roosters.
Rooms were spacious, tall ceilings, AC and a large washroom and shower with good pressure, and a bidet.
There's a pool and sun beds available as well.
Owners were nice, accommodating and friendly. They offer transportation services, scooter rental and offered suggestions for things to see, have dinner at, etc, all very good.
Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting nusa penida.

We stayed for 3 nights. The hotel is family owned, and the host Wayana and her staff is very polite and helpful people. The village is nice with friendly people. Nice and clean rooms with air con. Every room has a veranda. Lovely pool area. Great breakfast served on the veranda. We rented a scooter by the hotel 100k/day and it was delivered in 10 min. Most recommended!

This place and the host were fantastic! After bouncing around hostels for a few weeks, my friends and I decided to treat ourselves to a little more luxury in these cottages. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and the AMAZING breakfast. I would 100% recommend upgrading to include the breakfast as getting to the restaurants at the bottom of the hill seems like a lot of work when you want to relax in the morning.
A few things to note:
-The dragonfruit juice was amazing (and can be ordered at any time)
-It’s very easy to book a driver for the day through the hotel and it is quite cheap if you have multiple people. I don’t recommend booking a motorbike if you aren’t an experienced driver because the roads in Nusa Penida are hazardous with many potholes.
-The bathroom has a window to the outside, so mosquitos and other critters can get in quite easily. We just kept the bathroom door shut all the time to prevent it (and also to keep the AC in the bedroom), but that also meant the bathroom floor didn’t dry after showers because it was just exposed to humid air.
