HOMESTAY IRENE has five houses to choose from. The main villa is one of the most beautiful buildings in the area and is furnished for 8 guests. Next to the villa is a small bungalow for one or two guests. The three other houses are furnished for four and two guests. In total we can have 15 or 16 guests at the same time. Furthermore on the terrain there is a kitchen, a restaurant and two ‘Bales’ (relax huts with a roof and no walls). HOMESTAY IRENE has a Balinese staff of six people. Irene keeps her office part of the time in the Netherlands.

The area is so unique, so Balinese, so green so authentic.
There are many different beaches  you can visit. The beach of HOMESTAY IRENE has the roughness of an ocean beach. The most beautiful sheltered white beach (Pasir Putih) is at 5 km distance from HOMESTAY IRENE. 
  

Early in the morning flocks of wild dolphins can be seen right in front of HOMESTAY IRENE. In Lovina you can make dolphin boattrips. The long oceanwaves in front of HOMESTAY IRENE are frequently visited by surfers from all over the world. Of course you can go swimming or diving as well. Eastern Bali has many cultural ancient villages and temples that are worth visiting. Amlapura has a traditional Eastern market.You can rent a car or a scooter to find your way. Trips by foot or by bike are organised on demand.

Tourism can be good and bad for local people and the environment. Inviting visitors to Jasri on a small scale creates the opportunity for you to share the Balinese way of life, without encroaching the authentic character of the region. Our restaurant is mainly supplied by home grown products from our own garden. On the local market one can find a great variety of biological vegetables and fruits.

Some advice for our guests

Clothing and sunbathing
On the beach the Balinese people cover their bodies, even when they are swimming. Western swimsuits are accepted, however sunbathing with bare breasts is not appreciated. In the garden of Homestay Irene you have the opportunity to become tanned all over your body.

Food
In the topical climate of Bali you have to be careful with food. Our western stomach is not used to the wide scoop of tropical bacteria. Leftovers attract insects sooner than in colder climates. This is why we strongly advise our guests to eat in our Homestay restaurant and not bring any food into your room. For only 8,50 euro you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Homestay restaurant.
