is furnished for 10 guests. Next to the villa is a small bungalow for
two guests. The two other houses are furnished for four and two
guests. 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
advice 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.
