Our Living Options

Our cottages and budget rooms were built specifically with our divers in mind. They are found directly on Gapang Beach, nestled in our beautiful gardens, next to the dive shop. We have 7 stylish duplex cottages (some with seaview) were it easy to spend your afternoons reading in the hammock. The Living Room Cottages are very spaciously designed, and each duplex cottage has two units which can be connected with an open balcony. The cozy Living Colours Rooms are in a longhouse higher up the hill, overlooking our garden and the beach. We offer two Living Colour Rooms with private bathroom and four with shared bathrooms for our more budget conscious guests.

Living Room Cottage

KING, TWIN or TRIPLE – AC or ECO FAN

The diver friendly Living Room Cottage units located in our garden area just next to the beach are very spaciously set up – with a living room, a large wooden veranda equipped with a hammock, hot shower/bath and western toilet

It is popular for families/friends/dive buddies to reserve one duplex cottage. Two Living Room Cottages are connected by opening the wooden partition between the veranda’s, so you can all sit together outside, but still have separate bed and bathrooms. The units are very spacious, therefore it is also easy to add an extra springbed to triple share or add 2 mattresses for families with kids.

Our accommodation is purposely built to welcome our divers and non-diving roommates of course. The rooms are quite popular, so reservations are recommended. We are not the usual hotel or resort, but primarily a diving centre. As a facility for our diving guests, we have built our own cottages. Therefore together with the room booking, a diving package is required or an introductory dive for those guests not yet dive certified.

Restaurant Options

The small community of Gapang consists of a few Indonesian families with their restaurants and a souvenir shop right on the beach path.

Food is not included in our Diving and Living packages, as diving has always remained our main focus. We do not operate a restaurant ourselves but are in symbiosis with the popular Barracuda Restaurant, owned by Mila & Iwan. This offers flexible food options with either eating at  Barracuda restaurant on-site, or visit one of the other family run restaurants found on Gapang Beach. For lunch take-away you can also try the local food eateries which serve cheap, authentic, delicious Indonesian food. Need a quick snack after your dive? Stay hungry for Mama Donut’s famous sweet and savoury treats from her blue basket.
