In the hills of Nyuhkuning architect Linda Garland designed an estate of four rental houses (the River House, Waterfall House, Bamboo Garden House and Coconut House), a 30-metre long swimming pool, and extensive space to meditate about the simplicity and usefulness of bamboo.

Guests can visit the adjacent Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF), founded by designer Linda Garland in 1993 to protect tropical forests by promoting and demonstrating the many conservation and development opportunities offered by bamboo. EBF has propagated more than 35,000 seedlings for agro-forestry and watershed reclamation projects initiated in Bali. A training centre, surrounded by bamboo gardens and nurseries, was also created in1994 in Penglipuran, near Bangli in east Bali. EBF trains community groups and entrepreneurs interested in establishing their own facilities for bamboo preservation.
