Peace and quiet

This home is in a quiet area.
The Funky Treehouse is just a 350 m stroll from the beach, featuring an open living/kitchen that overlooks a spacious garden and a beautiful pool shared with the Treehouse 1. Both are surrounded by tropical greenery and offer privacy, ideal for couples, friends or solo travelers. Booked together they provide a mix of seclusion and connection.
For full privacy, Treehouse 2 and Retro Treehouse each have private pools.
Balian Beach is quiet, with no traffic or construction, pure timeless Bali

We have 4 unique Treehouses, built from trees, surrounded by trees, and offering views of trees:

The Funky Treehouse Story.
What began as a simple guest room in my friend’s Seminyak garden has now evolved into something truly special. We relocated the structure to Balian and redesigned it piece by piece. Every time I found a beautiful piece of wood or collected empty bottles from local restaurants, we adjusted the plan. Almost all materials used were recycled or found, which made for a fun, but often confusing project for the local builders. I hope you feel the love, creativity, and energy that went into every corner of this space.

The Space
Our garden has several peaceful hangouts, and the shared pool is a highlight, glowing softly at night and turning a stunning turquoise in the sunlight.

Upstairs you’ll find the bedroom with a private veranda and a cozy sofa. We’ve installed an extra comfortable 200x200 hotel-quality bed, because I know firsthand how important good sleep is, especially when you’re on holiday.

Downstairs, there’s a bar and kitchen, a comfortable living room, a bathroom with shower and hot water, a second veranda, and a standing fan. We also have reliable Indihome Wi-Fi (~40 Mbps), perfect for streaming or remote work.

The Balian Treehouse 1 (our original build) is located on the same property. We’ve planted plenty of greenery between the houses to ensure privacy for all guests.

The Vibe
Balian is a small, peaceful surf village that feels like stepping back into old Bali. No big developments, just beach, nature, and community. We built the house as sustainably as possible, using natural elements like driftwood, glass bottles, and repurposed palm wood from a local farmer. Living near the ocean means we’re always making small updates and improvements.

Daily cleaning is provided by Made and his wife, but this is an open-style home: wind, sand, leaves, and nature are part of the charm. So if you’re looking for spotless perfection, this might not be your match. But if you love character, creativity, and nature, you’ll feel right at home.

Guest access
A small dirt path leads you to the beach and village in just a few minutes. We chose not to build a concrete wall around our garden—there’s no need for one here, and we love the open, free feeling of being surrounded by nature. Just a 2-minute walk down the road brings you to a beautiful, peaceful river.

Neighbourhood highlights

Everything in the village is in walking distance, but if you would like to go for some sightseeing outside the village, you may want to rent a bike.
Please, always wear helmets, not only for your own safety but also the Police will check this regularly.

If you would like to go out for dinner:
(Luckily) There are no DELI's, STARBUCKS or MACDONALDS in the village but we do have enough nice restaurant to choose from.
Istana (all the food is Nice!!!) TOM's garden (TOMS SALAD!), Pondok Pitaya, Sushi, DEKI's, BALIAN beach warung, Gajah Mina, the night market and others
The night market is nearby and has plenty of nice local food for great prices.

I love the feeling of a small community in this village, everyone knows each other and is super friendly. There is a nice mixture of people, local and foreign and all kinds of ages as well. YOGA: there are normaly 2 classes a day in Pondok Pitaya. Just go to the frontdesk and tell them you want to join the class, yoga mat privided. SURFING: Within 3 minute walking distance from the house you will find 3 beautiful peaks. Excellent for beginners as well as experienced surfers. at a 15 minute driving distance you will find Medewi, well known for Bali's longest ride when it lines up on a S-SW Swell. All the other surf spots are at a 20 minute - 3 hour drive around the island. This village is a great place to start your holiday (be careful some never left) or end your trip.
