About this house rental
Nestled in a small coconut grove just metres from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, Villa KuraKura (Turtle House) has been built in a tropical style with the convenience of modern living. All rooms have air conditioning and the 3 double en-suite bedrooms enjoy stunning views across the bay. The villa has a huge first floor decking area with doors to the living room and master bedroom, providing an open plan layout.
Set back from the sea, across the single track coastal road to Bangko Bangko, the Villa offers a feel of the 'real' Lombok. The deck is the perfect place to enjoy al fresco dining, to take advantage of the magnificent views of the offshore islands, or to watch the friendly locals going about their business.
The villa is one of three on our site which share the same staff and management and the other two villas -
called PaoPao and Rembulan - are also available for larger groups.
Villa KuraKura has the basics of microwave, fridge and water dispenser.
We believe Villa KuraKura provides the ideal holiday location, with snorkelling, diving, surfing close by.
Local boat trips and excursions can be easily arranged with our friendly team who speak good English.
There are many interesting places to visit in Lombok - for example - the pottery making village at Banyamulek, the textile weaving centre at Sukarara village, the "old" Dutch colonial quarter in Ampenan, the daily fresh fruit, vegetable and meat/fish market in Cakra and of course the many gift shops, cafes and restaurants in Senggigi. If you prefer to go shopping, there's the new Epicentrum Mall in Mataram - they have lots of restaurants there too. If you like visiting jungles and waterfalls, ask to be taken to Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep or the Monkey Forest.
Last and not least, Villa KuraKura is about 10km from the world renowned surf beach at Bangko Bangko or Desert Point - just ask our friendly staff for details of how to get there.
Villa KuraKura is owned by my friends Glen and Jacqui and their friends who live in Devon in the UK. In 2004/2005 I was lucky enough to buy land in this unspoilt region of south west Lombok with my husband, Andrew. Then we started to build two villas on land next to KuraKura with the help of other investors who are our friends and family. Jacqui and Glen started building Villa KuraKura in 2010 and it was finished about 18 months later.
I started travelling in Indonesia in 1990 when I visited Bali and some of the other islands over a period of 6 months. As soon as I arrived in Indonesia I fell in love with it! I find everything about the country fascinating; the interesting culture and different religions; the scenery and amazing natural landscape; the beautiful people and their outlook on life; the delicious food and of course the sunshine. I hope you'll enjoy spending time here too!
My favourite past time is sitting on the verandah at Villa KuraKura, reading a book with a coffee or a beer and watching the world go by - it's very relaxing.
A close second is taking a fishing boat out to one of the many outlying gili islands to snorkel over the beautiful coral and sea life.
Both my two teenage girls have grown up staying in the villas during their school holidays and they have been lucky enough to experience the many different opportunities this unspoilt region of Indonesia offers.

Ursprüngliches Indonesien ohne Massentourismus
Wir haben 3 Wochen in KuraKura verbracht und sind begeistert! Wer das ursprüngliche Indonesien, fernab vom Massentourismus, erleben möchte, ist hier richtig. Es gibt keine Bars und Discotheken, dafür erhält man ein Lächeln der überaus herzlichen Indonesier.
Verpflegt haben wir uns im kleinen Restaurant von Soraya und Bukran. Soraya und ihre Crew hat uns mit hervorragenden lokalen Menus verwöhnt. Der Umgang war stets sehr herzlich.
Bukran stand uns jederzeit mit Tipps und Informationen zur Verfügung und organisierte Boot-Taxis und Ausflüge schnell und unbürokratisch.
KuraKura eignet sich für Individualreisende, die den Massentourismus meiden und unberührtes Indonesien geniessen möchten.

Bien, mais loin
Grande villa paisible, avec jolie vue.
Déjeuner inclus avec très bon service.
Snorkeling et plongée facile d’accès (maison en face de Gili Asahan).
Notez toutefois qu’il n’y a pas de cuisinière dans la maison et que les marchés les plus près sont à plus de 30 min. de voiture, ce qui nous oblige à manger régulièrement au resto affilié à la propriété.
Si vous prévoyez des excursions ailleurs dans Lombok, on vous demandera probablement des frais additionnels en raison de l’éloignement.
Finalement, notez que les planchers du deuxième étage sont à réparer car détruits pas les fourmis.

Wunderschönes Haus mit einem fantastischen Terrassenblick
Sehr schönes, bequemes Haus mit einer sehr geräumigen, wunderschönen Terrasse mit tollem Meer- und Inselblick. Das Haus ist klimatisiert und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Der einzige Minuspunkt ist die Küchenausstattung, da es dort keine Kochplatten gibt, lediglich Toaster, Wasserkocher, Mikrowelle und Kühlschrank. Das Café in der Nebenanlage ist die einzige Verpflegungsalternative zu Fuß, es ist aber sehr einfach. Es wäre jedoch schön, sich mal zum Frühstück selbst ein Ei kochen zu können.
Der Strand ist (abgesehen von etwas Müll :-( ), grundsätzlich schön und voller toller Funde.
An unmittelbarer Infrastruktur ist dort wenig vorhanden (da kein Dorf oder so), nur der Service der Dive-Anlage nebenan. (Es war nicht ganz klar, wie beides zusammenhängt.)
Die Kommunikation mit Rachel war hervorragend und ausgesprochen schnell und nett. Vor Ort war Bukran, der sehr gut Englisch spricht und auf alle unsere Bitten eingegangen ist (Fahrt zum Markt, kleine Einkäufe, Fahrservice am letzten Tag, etc.). Er hatte auch Obst und Frühstückssachen eingekauft, bevor wir angekommen sind, die nicht in Rechnung gestellt wurden.
Die Gegend ist wunderschön und sehr wenig touristisch (mit den Vor- und Nachteilen). Von dort kann man sehr schön günstige Schnorcheltouren buchen. Die dortigen Gilis sind toll und ziemlich leer.
Es wäre hilfreich, eine kleine Mappe im Haus zu deponieren mit aktuellen Informationen zum Haus und zur Infrastruktur in der Gegend.
Sehr empfehlenswert, um sich zu erholen und die Southern Gilis zu besuchen. Nur die Verpflegung ist etwas schwierig. Wir werden Rachel empfehlen, ein 2-Koch-Platten-Gerät zu stellen, was in Indonesien sehr üblich ist. Das würde was bringen.
Empfehlenswert!

Ein Paradies im Paradies!
Wir waren 4 Tage mit 7 Erwachsen in der Villa. Nach kleinen Problemen mit dem Taxifahrer sind wir gut in der Villa angekommen, dank des freundlichen Managers Bukran.
Wer die Villa erreichen will sollte am Airport genau sagen wo sie liegt, da sie sehr abgeschieden liegt und die Taxifahrer ungeduldig wurden. Am leichtesten ist es, wenn man mit Bukran im Vorfeld Kontakt aufnimmt und ihn um einen Transport bittet.
Von der Villa aus kommt man sehr einfach zu den Secret Gilis zum Schnorcheln oder Tauchen (die Tauchschule ist direkt nebenan).
Ein echter Pluspunkte der Villa ist der Manager Bukran, der nicht nur super freundlich ist, sondern auch alles für die Besucher möglich macht.
Für unsere Gruppe hat er beispielsweise gekocht (sehr guter Fisch und ein überragendens vegetarisches Curry), er hat Ausflüge zum lokalen Markt, zum Strand und in eine der lokalen Schulen organisiert, um mit den 'Locals' in Berührung zu kommen.
Die Villa selber ist sehr gemütlich und die Betten sind ein echter Traum. Von der großzügigen Veranda sieht kann man wunderschöne Sonnenaugängeln sehen oder bis spät Abends sitzen und plaudern.
Jeden Abend kommt der nette Nachtwächter, der sich selber mit Bob Marley vorstellte, der kein Wort Englisch versteht, aber sehr beherzt auf Gekojagd in den Zimmern ging. Morgens kommen meist zwei nette Frauen und bringen Obst oder neues Trinkwasser oder neue Frühstücksutensilien.
Wer Abgeschiedenheit mag ist in der Villa genau richtig.
Wir würden immer wieder kommen.
