Nusa Penida is an island about 45 minutes by boat from central Bali (Indonesia). This destination is famous for its impressive tree houses.
Since Nusa Penida is an offshore island, you will need to take a boat from the main island of Bali to get here. Speedboats depart from Sanur Beach and will take you to Nusa Penida in just under an hour. The speedboat fare is around IDR 150,000 (VND 245,000) and operates hourly from 7am to 4pm.

Poor facilities
In contrast to the majestic natural scenery outside, the female tourist was very surprised when she stepped inside. The house was made of wood with basic furniture such as a mattress, crumpled bed sheets, a fan and a desk. The area of this tree house is also much smaller than the basic room in a hotel or resort. In addition, there is no toilet in the room. Visitors will use the shared toilet below.
The staircase area leading up to the treehouse is a familiar background, so many tourists come to check in. This is also what makes tenants feel uncomfortable. Ignoring the quality of the rooms, according to Wandering Wheatleys, these treehouses are always fully booked. To experience a night here, you have to spend about 40 USD and book at least 3 months in advance.
Spend money on views
Many people say that when coming here, what tourists pay for is the ocean view, not the quality of the rooms like in regular hotels.
Watching the sunrise or sunset from the balcony of a tree house will be an experience you will never forget. The lack of excellent facilities is also a common limitation in accommodations that are in harmony with nature and far from the center.
On the creator's personal page, a user commented: "I didn't expect to see a concrete bed or a new model refrigerator in the treehouse. The existing things are suitable options for a place to live in harmony with nature."
This accommodation also receives positive feedback about the priceless views that visitors will experience while staying here. One tourist shared: "It's unbelievable! A great place to catch the sunrise. During your stay, there will always be staff to help you take pictures at any time."
Notes when choosing a service
According to Wandering Wheatleys, when deciding to book a room in a tree house, you should consider factors such as transportation, rooms, and toilets. Specifically, all tree houses are located on high cliffs. To get there, you will need to walk quite a long distance and it is not very simple, so you should only bring light luggage.
On the other hand, the house is made of wooden panels so there will be many gaps. Insects can go through them to get into your room. At night, it is quite difficult to go to the toilet. If you are a woman, you can equip yourself with a separate tool kit or bring a flashlight.
