Kurni's Cabin

Ewa and Didik were very welcoming and friendly. During my stay, they showed me around Sapit, Sembalun and their coffee farm. All of which was a great experience!

Nothing negative about the property itself but as it is a very local village there are not many shops or warungs to eat at. However, Ewa kindly cooked dinner on some of the nights.

Kurni’s Cabin is one of the most stunning places we have ever stayed. Sapit itself is also incredibly beautiful, and everything about the experience felt very special, local and meaningful. From the moment we arrived, Dirik made us feel completely taken care of. He helped us with everything, guided us through the options for our stay, and made our arrival feel both comfortable and exciting. We arrived in the afternoon, and he was very clear and thoughtful in explaining what we could do, how to plan it, and what would make the most sense for us. That same day, he took my friend and me to a beautiful sunset point where we could see Mount Rinjani. On the way, we passed rice fields, onion fields, cows and local village life, which made the whole experience even more special. We also met a local family and shared snacks with them, which was such a lovely and authentic moment. The next day, we planned a hike with him, which was also a great experience. It was also wonderful to meet Ewa and to hear more about all the work this family does to preserve local culture and use local resources in an ecological and thoughtful way. That made the stay feel even more meaningful. The cabins themselves are beautiful, comfortable and very well designed. You can really see the care and effort they are putting into the place and its facilities. We only stayed two nights, but we left wishing we had more time. These days were truly amazing, and we will keep them in our hearts.

There was absolutely NOTHING we disliked. For us, Kurni’s Cabin is a must-stay place, and Sapit is a must-visit village. One thing to be aware of is that, as in many places in Lombok, you may hear the call to prayer several times a day, including early in the morning around 5 a.m. It may wake you up, but for us this was not a negative point at all. We found it mystical, peaceful and part of the local culture. With earplugs, it was easy to continue sleeping. This is not something related to the accommodation itself, but simply part of being in Lombok and experiencing the local way of life. For us, it actually added to the atmosphere and authenticity of the place.

We loved our stay! The rooms are super comfortable and there is hot shower and amazing breakfast. Your choice of banana pancake and vegetable omlet. We also did a small hike with visiting their coffee plantage. From the plant to the cup! It was amazing. The hosts are super lovely and really want you to have a good experience. We slept so well. You do not really hear the mosques around and there are many in Lombok. The wifi is working exceptional, we watched movies at night without interuption. If you plan to go to this area, stay there. The price-value is very good. There are coffee shops with food around. The hosts take you not only on a tour but also to a nice sunset place. OMG I wished we could stay there longer!

This area is really underrated, we booked a night here because we thought Tetebatu was a bit too touristy for us. Here, you have just a beautiful rice fields (although rice is primarily grown during the wet season and not all year around for tourism). But throughout the year different crops will be grown and the area will probably be just a beautiful and authentic. Didik, the host is friendly and helpful, we had long conversations about all the interesting things he's up to on Lombok and mount Rinjani. He has a world of local knowledge and is happy to share. We got up early and walked around the area during sunrise, amazing experience. The common area and garden are well-kept and Didik has created a nice vibe. If you're used to luxury travel, you might find the facilities a bit more basic, but once you're in this area you'll understand and the location is well worth it.

A musquito net would have been nice addition to the room.
