It's hard to beat this idyllically situated colonial guesthouse, located at an altitude of 1500m in a working tea plantation near the town of Pangalengan. The simple, clean rooms, each with a front porch and Dutch-era furnishings, make it a great place to kick back for a few days.
It's around 35km southeast of Ciwidey and is best reached by private transport.
