During the pandemic we decided to leave the south of Bali and find ourselves a new place to live, away from the crowds and immerse ourselves in nature and authentic Bali. We fell in love with the area around Pupuan and eventually bought ourselves a little productive plantation in Sanda, a small village on the slopes of Mount Batukaru. We love our new lifestyle; slowly learning to develop and manage the plantation and blending into the local traditional Balinese community.
We decided to open our home to those seeking an escape from the crowds, or those who want to experience authentic rural Bali.
We hope to welcome you soon!

Mega
I was born and raised in Jakarta, while my parents are from Pekalongan, in Central Java, famous for its batik and textile industry. After finishing high school I worked 8 years for a film production agency and mining company, before joining a luxury lifestyle magazine. After meeting Toine I joint his digital marketing agency, taking care of administration, finance and legal matters. In 2019 we got married and moved to Bali. We initially lived in Legian, focusing on our digital marketing agency. During the pandemic we decided to change our lifestyle and bought a plantation here in Sanda. Initially we spent every weekend here in the mountains, but soon did not really feel home anymore in he busy south and decided to move here permanently.

I was born in The Netherlands and have a Masters degree in Biology. As part of my study I spent a year in the rainforests of Sumatra, during which I fell in love with the country. After graduating I joint a Dutch tour operator developing expeditions and nature-oriented tours to southeast Asia, before moving into the hospitality industry. I worked in different sales and marketing roles in hotel chains, and eventually in online travel. At the end of 2016 I left the corporate world and established my own digital marketing agency, which I still manage until today, on the sidelines of our life in the plantation. I love photography, particularly wildlife and culture. Here is my photography website:
