The town of Maluk is a five minute motorbike ride away and provides an inside look at "the real Indo". Far from the crowds of tourists and hawkers in Bali and Lombok, this is a bustling little community of fishermen, miners, shopkeepers and their families. Horse drawn carts loaded down with women on their way to to the market share the road with scooters, bicycles, cows, goats, children and dogs. Local warungs offer traditional indonesia food for less than $2 a meal, and roadside stands sell fresh tropical fruits and young coconuts. Most of the locals speak Bahasa Indonesian, but they love to practice any English they might have picked up. The call of "Hello Mister!" is likely to follow you as you make your way through town.

Maluk House has given us a place to call home in the midst of our adventures.  It is where we hope to make lasting memories with our family and friends and experience a simpler, slower paced way of life.
We hope you enjoy our home as much as we do.
