Kayu Putih accommodation from NZ$23

I stayed at Nandini Jungle Resort in Bali, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable experiences of my trip. I booked a panoramic view suite, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. Waking up to the lush green jungle views from my balcony was absolutely breathtaking. The room itself was beautiful—complete with a jacuzzi, a swing, and a peaceful, serene atmosphere that instantly slows you down. What really stood out was the service. The staff were incredibly attentive, checking in twice a day and making sure everything was perfect, especially before bedtime. It felt very thoughtful and personalized. I didn’t end up using the main pool much, but it looked stunning. I did, however, experience their spa by the river and waterfalls—and it was truly magical. I originally booked for three days but loved it so much that I extended my stay to a full week. This is the perfect place if you’re looking to disconnect from city life, embrace nature, and spend quiet, intentional time with yourself. They do offer tours to places like Ubud and Mount Batur if you want to explore, but for me, the highlight was staying within the resort, enjoying the surroundings, and leaning into stillness. I genuinely fell in love with this property and would highly recommend it for anyone seeking peace, nature, and a reset.

An all around great experience. We were there during the rainy season, so while we didn’t see a lot of sun, there was a lot to keep us happy: terrific food, especially the breakfasts, lovely staff, and loads of activities to keep us busy. Really recommend the trip to the waterfalls as well as the sustainability tour around the plantation. A perfect example of how well they take care of their guests was when we had to have our dehumidifier replaced because it wasn’t working. It was done very promptly and to make up for the inconvenience (and it really was hardly an inconvenience at all!) they gave us a voucher for both of us to have a full Balinese massage which was heavenly. Can’t recommend Munduk Moding Plantation enough.

The staff was kind and courteous! Rooms were spacious, but could do with a freshen up, and remove wallpaper as it’s peeling from humidity, so if you are bougie then maybe not your style. The grounds were well kept and the large gazebos facing the water (sit a whole family) were great. The area was quiet and a bit isolated, but had shuttle where you need to go and
