The Swallow Guest House was originally built in 2005 to house and protect the Swiftlet Swallow that are endangered due to the increase demand of their nests. However, the local swallows have only been seen flying around and occasionally resting on the roof to groom themselves.

In 2006 we decided to convert the guardhouse into a one-room traditional style Balinese guesthouse with beautiful hand carved panels. Later, a gazebo was erected above the kitchen for guests to relax in the shade with a panoramic view, and a filtered water system and lotus fishpond were added for hot/cold fresh water showers. In 2009 we converted the larger back room into a new suite with a "Luxury" open bathroom. Beautiful carved stone panels and sculpture enhance the artistic feeling of the Guesthouse.

We hope the Swallow Guest House increases in popularity and provides guests a chance to enhance experiences with the gracious Balinese people. They are very giving and do activity for the good of "karma".

Unfortunately, this small island has been a target in the past for terrorist action. It is not in the nature of the Balinese people who in the majority are Hindu, to harm any living thing. It is our small international company's aim to assist financially and intellectually to help the island of Bali survive the effects of world change and maintain the rich and ancient culture so many have come to love.
