    Description

    Hello, I'm Cikal, originally from a charming small town called Cianjur, nestled in West Java, Indonesia. I live with my father in a peaceful village known for its cool, refreshing air and a serene natural water bathing pool. I'm here with the vision of promoting our place as a cozy guesthouse for visitors.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can explore some great places nearby, like the ancient site of Gunung Padang, the lively Cianjur Town Square, the beautiful Cibodas Botanical Garden, or the bustling Traditional Market. Transportation in the City is easy to access, but because we live in the rural place we have to go on walk at least 5 minutes to get transportation making it simple to get around!

    Experience our unique culture through ngaliwet, a traditional Sundanese gathering where we cook and share meals together in a warm, shared setting. It’s a beautiful way to connect and experience the heart of our traditions. Additionally, I am a passionate trainer in Silat, a traditional Indonesian martial art and self-defense practice. Join me to not only learn these skills but also dive into the rich cultural heritage of our community!
