Lombok Gili Meno Hotel- Shack58 Bungalow On Gili Meno Island
Shack58, GIli Meno, Indonesia - located directly on the beach with the ocean metres away only accommodates 2 people. This cottage was set up with the vision of enjoying being outside.
There is only one internal room - the Main bedroom with a Kingsize bed and large daybed, this room is air-conditioned and also has ceiling fans. All the living areas are outsidegazebos. The main area is a 6m X 8.5m gazebo with a large kingsize daybed, day benches and a large dining table. There is an additional 4m x 4m gazebo to relax on and a 2mx2m gazebo on the beach. Both the larger gazebos have ceiling fans.
Our bathrooms are simple and made of bamboo. One is an open air shower under the stars and one is enclosed under a gazebo. Both bathrooms have fresh water. The main bathroom is set up with two water systems - one fresh water and one with well water. All water is bought to the property by small fishing boat from Lombok - in the unlikely event the water cannot timeously be delivered the guest will need to use the well water. The delays can be due to the tides being to low and the delivery boat not being able to get over the reef or the seas being too rough. Please water is too be used sparingly!
Our Kitchen offers a small simple menu of local dishes. A basic Indonesian breakfast is included in the room rate and our drinks at the property works on an honesty bar.
There is a Television & DVD player with a selection of DVDs in the library which can be used by the guests - there is no television reception at Shack58.
Electricity has been on the island for the last 4 years. There is a main generator on the island - service is occasionally interrupted and when the power goes out IT GOES OUT...when the island is very busy sometimes the Island generator cannot cope with the spike of usage....one of the joys of being on a remote island with beach paths and no transportation. We do not have an emergency generator on the property - and make no apologies if the power goes out...this is all part of island life.... If your holiday is booked and it is to revolve around fresh water & power please do not think about making a booking on any of the 3 islands as services are not guaranteed...Gili Meno is very much grass roots with very little development......this will not be you type of holiday...embrace simplicity as there are few places in this world that are easy to access...where you can still have have a remote experience with out being too remote and that are still pretty basic.
