Airbnb Find: Eclipse House

Feel like escaping to an eco-friendly Indonesian hideaway? Look no further. This whimsical structure is made entirely out of locally-grown Asper bamboo, and sits on top of the Ayung River Gorge, offering beautiful views of the lush Balinese forest, as well as unforgettable sunset vistas. Named Eclipse House, the beautiful and unique eco bamboo structure is split into two bamboo houses - the main house, and the guest house. Each villa is spread out over three floors and features 2 very romantic en-suite bedrooms. The main house provides a fully furnished kitchen, dining area and open living space with a beautiful view out to the garden, swimming pool and river. The guest house has a lower level open air kitchenette. The treehouse-like structure uses bamboo that has been twisted and curled into beautiful but improbable curves to create winding staircases, walls, and open terraces. Light fittings, furniture and even kitchen cabinets are also bamboo. This is villa for rent in Bali through Airbnb and is perfect for adventurous couples craving a unique getaway.
