OUR HISTORY & SURROUNDINGS

The Gem of Penelokan Village, Lakeview Hotel & Restaurant is nestled up against the national forest and is perched on the crater rim of the majestic Batur Caldera, a UNESCO Global Geopark Heritage. Lakeview is the eastern-most property in the village and is blessed with the most sublime view of Mt Batur and her crater lake. A favorite lookout point, holiday and dining venue for international and domestic travelers, mountain climbers, geologists and explorers (Penelokan, in Balinese translates to “look out point”). The Kintamani area has plenty of amazing photo opportunities and our lookout deck at Lakeview Restaurant is one of the favorite spots, so always remember to bring your camera! During the day, you will be greeted with wide open skies above a vast landscape of wonderlands, rich in history and beauty. Being 1348 Meters above sea level and with minimal light pollution, the night skies are perfect for star-gazing and moon watching. With such a cool climate, bonfires and barbecue’s become more special adthe morning sunrise experiences are magical and refreshing. A great escape from the tropical heat and traffic in the more populated areas of Bali. Let’s just say we bring sunrise coffees and sunset beers to a higher level.

Lakeview is the original family hotel & restaurant in the Kintamani area, founded as a home stay of teak and fern-tree huts by Mangku Dharta in 1964.  Now Lakeview is run by the third generation and offers 20 comfortable bedrooms, 2 dorm rooms and 2 Restaurants, all of which present spectacular views of nature, set in a vast volcanic caldera. Besides Bali’s Mother temple; ‘Pura Besakih’, there are a few important temples in the area as well, like ‘Pura Ulundanu Batur’, ‘Pura Bukit Mentik’ and ‘Pura Penulisan’. ‘Trunyan’ village and sanctuary, an old mountain village at the foot of Mt. Abang, is also nearby. The village and its sanctuary (boat access only) are located in a remote and isolated location on the eastern shore of Lake Batur. The Trunyanese are often referred to as ‘Bali Aga’ (indigenous Balinese people), which refers to a conservative, pre-Hindu way of life with ancient, neolithic customs.

The Family temple and generations of family photos give a comforting sense of familiarity that makes you feel right at home but with all the extras. A perfect place to relax after a day of fun, cultural or educational activities, as Lakeview is significantly located to many stunning spots where you can experience the real beauty of Bali’s heartlands. Natural wonders like volcanoes, lakes, natural hot springs, waterfalls, forests and more are just down the road. Surrounded with such natural beauty,  there are a wide range of activities and tours to choose from like trekking, cycling, canoeing, rafting, forest walks, swims at the hot springs, agricultural, temple and village tours. All are easily arranged by our friendly staff at the Front Office.
