Big the Bungalow

The Heritage Home
That Started Everything

Eight bedrooms inside a family home built in the 1950s. A swimming pool. Cosy workspaces. Meals three times a day from a generational family kitchen. The closest thing to being adopted by the Schae family.

What you get

Why Big is the one people keep coming back to

A family heritage home

Downstairs built in the 1950s, upstairs in the 1980s. Art and sculpture adorn every wall. This is not a hotel that was designed to look like a home, it is one.

8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms

Three tiers: Luxury with a balcony, Ensuite for focused stays, Economy for budget-conscious nomads. Every tier gets AC, blackout curtains and fast WiFi.

3 Coworking Spaces

3 spaces for hangouts and coworking, with fast wifi, power backup, and views. Plus the veranda, when you need the trees.

Wellness at your doorstep

Gym, swimming pool with natural water, yoga space, and sauna, all with forest views. Sunset dips. Honey mint lemonade by day, chai by evening, paired with sacred jungle sunsets 🌅

Fully staffed

Cleaners, housekeeping, food, and laundry, all taken care of. So you can earn back time, not spend it on chores.

Meals 3x daily, community-style

Home-cooked from a generational kitchen. This is where the community gathers, three times a day. The table fills up fast.

Photos taken at launch. Since then we've upgraded every room: office chairs, new ACs, blackout curtains, routers, shower curtains, and floor mats.
