The Pinewood Resorts & SPA




It’s about a month that I’ve been absent in my own blog. What a pity, but lot of work to do in office keep me away from my blog.

This time I would like to write about very nice place, not to far away from Jakarta since it’s on Puncak neighborhood, but it is very deep hiding inside far away from main road, just next beside Gunung mas tea plantation. It is a perfect place to have some little escape from daily routine.




The Pinewood Hotel Main Building


This resorts is probably designed to provide maximum privacy with retreat-like environment so that you may have nothing to do and just killing time by relaxing your self between SPA and your cabin beneath the large tress, facing a nice valley just in front of your eyes.

I was staying in their Chinese Cottage that situated just bellow their SPA, and facing the valley so that we may watch a nice view such as we may sit on a tree house. It is a real tree inside of our cottage intentionally left to provide natural touch in the cabin.




Inside the Cabin - Chinese Cottage"


Very nice wooden family room in each cottage, fully equip with Dining table, set of sofa bed, even a kitchen,

There also a large bathroom with both shower and ………….. Whirlpool!!! Wow!




Morning @ Pinewood


There’s a friendly open space restaurant that facing a large family room with one vintage gramophone that may turn-on freely, an also lot of magazines and books in their main family rooms even though there are an old magz but still may give you ‘home-like’ environment.



Breakfast time .................


The main building it self is design like European style bricks house, with artificial firewood in the main living room, and have lot of colorful flowers everywhere.




The surroundings


Seems that one night stay is definitely not enough for our short escape few weeks ago.

If you come up from Jakarta from Jalan Raya Puncak, Once you reach last Gas station few hundreads meter away from KFC outlets -just after hotel Pardede, you may find "Drugs dependency Rehabilitations facility" on your left side, you have to take a small road on the opposite that has "Wisma Departemen Perhubungan", just go straight ahead until the end of the road and you may find this very nice place.

Hello,

I've been there too (The Pinewood Resort & Spa) for one day, but unfortunately my experience is not as good as yours.

It's a nice hideout for grown up not for babies. Hehehe

Hi,
I have been there many times. My kids and I love it. The kids can just run in the grass area, swimming, fishing,tea-walking, going to the organic vegetables farm, ride the horse (upon request), or just enjoying the fresh air(which is scarce in Jakarta). And for me, I can spend time in the Spa and just exploring & teaching my kids regarding the nature(plants,organic farm, how to grow mushrooms). As for my hubby, he can also enjoying the spa , relaxing and tea walking with the kids...fishing too, catching tadpoles too. it is truly an unique hotel...very hommy, unlike other hotels.
