Lakeview is the original family hotel & restaurant in the Kintamani area, founded as a home stay of teak and fern-tree huts by Mangku Dharta in 1964. Now Lakeview is run by the third generation and offers 20 comfortable bedrooms, 2 dorm rooms and 2 Restaurants, all of which present spectacular views of nature, set in a vast volcanic caldera. Besides Bali’s Mother temple; ‘Pura Besakih’, there are a few important temples in the area as well, like ‘Pura Ulundanu Batur’, ‘Pura Bukit Mentik’ and ‘Pura Penulisan’. ‘Trunyan’ village and sanctuary, an old mountain village at the foot of Mt. Abang, is also nearby. The village and its sanctuary (boat access only) are located in a remote and isolated location on the eastern shore of Lake Batur. The Trunyanese are often referred to as ‘Bali Aga’ (indigenous Balinese people), which refers to a conservative, pre-Hindu way of life with ancient, neolithic customs.
