    That we couldn't stay longer!

    Marc and Ericka could not have been more welcoming, they were fabulous. They replied promptly to questions and helped arrange everything with our Ijen trip, including health certificates. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was really tasty and great quality. Outdoor environment is beautiful. Beds were super comfy and lovely finishes to the rooms. It is all honestly comparable to a hotel-except with the added bonus of amazing hosts!

    This place is the real deal - our beautiful bungalow was gorgeously designed, lovely cotten linens on the comfy bed and muslin drapes to ensure a good night’s sleep. A big pool! The restaurant’s food is also excellent.

    We really loved the hosts! Ericka and Marc made us feel at home and nothing was too much to ask. They arranged our tour trip to Ijen, our laundry and our entire trip to Canggu after (taxi-boat-taxi). They really went the extra mile! In addition, the garden and food (breakfast and dinner) at the stay were amazing. Ericka and Marc also recommended us a lovely walk nearby the place during sunset. Would definitely recommend!

    The place can get a little too cold in the morning but it’s just a small matter. But some may prefer this instead.

    The place is like staying in a living gem with lots of nature offerings, interesting pets, cool environment, but most important the fabulous wonderful host family who are so nice in making sure all their guests are well taken care of in every aspects.

    Super comfy traveler's nest in paradise settings 😎 The bungalows spacious, well equipped with quality fittings & neatly maintained, immaculately clean, strong hot shower and - for whom it's important- a strong wifi. The surrounding estate a lovely tropical garden, including a pool. Very quite at night, perfect sleep in extra comfy spacious bed guaranteed supported by a zen sound of a gurgling river close by, geckos and cicadas 🤙 Perfectly located to explore Ijen Geopark and lovely villages in mid endless rice paddies and coffee & clove plantations. Ericka and Marc - your hosts- lovely and perfectly balanced folks 🤩 They are supported by lovely local staff, always with a smile 😃 Good breakfast and food for lunch/dinner. Excursions and transfers well organised and absolutely reliable (not always the case in Indonesia) at a fair price tag 👍

    we loved staying at Mi Casa for three nights with our two young children despite unseasonably heavy rain while we were there. the cottages are spacious, comfortable and really private. the garden and pool are gorgeous - our girls loved exploring, feeding the fish and pretending to otters, inspired by the owners pets. Erika and Marc made us feel really welcome in their beautiful home. food in the restaurant by Rico was delicious!

    A beautiful place run by beautiful people in the midst of lush greenery and a stream flowing through the properly. The food was custom cooked and delicious. The sunrise trek to Ijen was the highlight. Ericka and Mark helped with pickup from the port a well as organising the trek for us. Highly recommend a stay here. Thank you Ericka and Mark.

    The guest house is located somewhat outside the city so you need a driver to get you there. There aren't many restaurants if you feel like eating out, but you won't feel like it, because the food was great.

    Everything was fantastic! Marc and Erica are friendly and they tried their best to make us feel at home. The food is great, especially the banana pancakes in the morning ! The location of the guest house is close to the Ijen which is about a 30 minute drive. We also joined a tour of the Ijen organised by the guest house, which includes a local guide and the transportation to and from the guest house. The guest house in itself allows you to fully relax and recover by the pool or the small huts with comfortable sofa's. They have plenty of animals (otters, a goose, friendly cats and a dog) wandering around making you feel like you're in a national park.
