Senaru Gateway Homestay & Resto

Senaru Gateway is a peaceful homestay set in a large garden on Jalan Pariwisata, towards the lower end of Senaru village. It is run by the family behind Rinjani Gate Trekking, so it suits travellers who want accommodation and a trek organised by the same people.

The rooms are simple but spacious and well kept, with hot showers, and breakfast is included. Guests consistently praise the host, Ardi, for his hospitality: home-cooked dinners, the odd evening barbecue, pick-ups in bad weather and lifts to restaurants in the village. It has a perfect 5.0 score on Google from nearly 50 reviews.

The homestay is a short ride from the Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep waterfall gates and the Senaru trailhead. Book by WhatsApp or through the Rinjani Gate Trekking website, which also lists crater-rim and summit packages from Senaru and Sembalun. Senaru is about two and a half hours by road from Lombok International Airport, and the family can arrange the transfer.
