After a long and exhausting business trip decided to drop off the grid to visit my old friend Brett at Shibui Gardens. The perfect antidote turned out to be the bungalows he carved and built with local wood and bamboo, by hand, out of a coconut grove. Ask for the Shibui room. The hand made bed is so comfy and it has AC and TV. Met new travelers every day coming down from Mt. Rinjani after three days climbing. It is like they land in Shangri-La enjoying a hot shower, good nights sleep, good company, and amazing food. Brett makes everything from scratch using freshest ingredients for his ‘Californasian’ fusion food. His cheeseburger on home made bun with fries is unbelievable. Fridge is stocked with cold beer. The hand made pasta and pizzas are becoming a must for post Rinjani refueling. Breakfast chocolate pancakes or eggs to order to send you on your way for North Lombok and Gili Island adventures. PADI 5 star dive shop in walking distance down the beach. If you are looking for a friendly stopover to recharge, come see Brett, Eka and their young son Kaimu at Shibui Gardens.
