Also please remember that Rosa's Ecolodge is not a Hotel an such,
but we are a Local Tour Operator which Owns Accommodation
Facilities. We sell Tours/Safaris and do not sell rooms (like other
hotels) as an objective of our business. In Europe we are called a
Boutique Hotel, rare in Indonesia.
Therefore, we focus on guests who are undertaking Tours/Safaris
with us.
| Visitors staying with us must take at least Two Tours/Safaris,
which are "Snorkeling" and the "Village Tour" or any other Tour.
Visitors that only want a place "to rest" and do not take a Tour
with us, have a second priority. |
This may mean that during the High Season they will be put on the
"Waiting list".
A Free Program is only possible after that the two compulsory Tours
have been completed.
Rosa’s Ecolodge is located on the fringes
of Baluran National Park in the traditional Madurese village of Sumberwaru
in the Situbondo Regency, East Java (see
under Transportation).
The area, with the Baluran mountain as a
back-drop, has a nice and romantic atmosphere with rice paddies,
clusters of waving bamboo, coconut trees, cows and goats.
Traditional cow carts
move slowly through the landscape. Sumberwaru is
still untouched by tourism and the people are very friendly and helpful.
The big majority of them are Madurese, the ethnic group of the island of
Madura to the north.
Rosa’s Ecolodge was built in 2002 and consists of a main building
with reception and restaurant, and eight comfortable and very clean
bungalows built in Madurese style, complete with air conditioning, big
spring beds, and western style toilets.
In front of each bungalow is a
private verandah, facing the colorful garden. The atmosphere of Rosa’s
Ecolodge convey a feeling of past times, so called “Tempo Doeloe”.
In the restaurant we serve both local and international cuisine. We
consider every guest to be a personal guest and friend.
Rosa's Ecolodge also has a small hideaway in the rice fields. Here we
often spend lazy afternoons drinking tea and rest tired legs after
excursions in the national park.
