Dewenten Home Stay With View Mount Agung

I stayed here for almost 1 month and plan to make this my new go-to in Tulamben. It is in a quiet location with a great view of Agung volcano and the forest/ farmland leading up to it. Wi-Fi is excellent and fast. Bed is comfortable. Unit has many power outlets. Lighting is good and functions well. The entire unit looks fairly new. AC is slightly underpowered for the size of the room, so on hot days at peak sun, it gets slightly warm, but nice the rest of the time. Bathroom is good: toilet flushes, shower gets hot quickly, but bathroom could use a mirror for shaving. It was inconvenient to have to step outside to the bedroom mirror. Kitchen is outside on the porch. It has a sink, 2 burner cooktop stove, and a 3/4 size refrigerator with a fairly large freezer. It also has pots, pans, plates, utensils, etc. Porch is fairly large and has a table and 2 chairs and a clothes drying rack.. There is a small Hindu shrine in the lawn area. Parking is adequate for 1 car or multiple scooters, but it looks like you could park about 20 m down the road also. It is 7 min. walk to main road and about another 2 to the dropoff dive site. Locate the correct road for the Homestay by turning up the small road to Dive Concepts and continuing straight for about 500 m. Tulamben is a small village with several restaurants, many dive shops, and a couple of small supermarkets. Other facilities are very limited. ATM is in the Indomaret at far end of town. Diving here is phenomenal for macro diving. Jiwa Dive is located only 50 m from Homestay (don't know if they're good. It is a new operation. All the dive operators basically use the same tank provider, visit the same sites, etc. so I'd just pick based on price and vibe). Restaurants all have about the same menu. My favorite is Wayan, near the supermarket and the pizza at Slice n Brew. Again, all are very similar, so pick based on price and vibe.

It was basically wonderful. For the price it is outstanding. There were some little things, but the owner is very fast to respond and either his father or sister visits the Homestay every day. Cleaning is by you notifying them you want the unit cleaned.
