Further along from the orangutan viewing platform are a few small guesthouses of which only one was inhabitable at the time of writing, namely Kupu-kupu Garden.

Ad Spend 4 days / 3 nights on the Jaya

The Indonesian-Australian couple who own this place have built a wonderful guesthouse in a quiet spot right on the river. The workmanship on the building is at a different level to most places in Bukit Lawang with the woodwork being particularly impressive. Rooms on the top floor sport balconies with stunning elevated views of the river and jungle. They also have semi-outdoor cold water bathrooms with Western toilet, comfy spring beds with mosquito net and a couple of bits of furniture. Construction of other cheaper rooms was ongoing during our visit in May 2014 and we imagine this property will soon become a popular retreat. First class.
