Mason Pine Hotel is a charming highland retreat in Bedugul's cool mountain climate, overlooking Lake Beratan. The hotel offers comfortable rooms in a peaceful garden setting with views of the mist-covered lake and surrounding mountains. A perfect base for exploring Bedugul's botanical gardens, temples, and highland scenery.
Mason Pine Hotel is a comfortable highland retreat situated in Bedugul, in the cool mountain interior of Tabanan regency in Bali. The hotel sits at an altitude of approximately 1,200 metres above sea level overlooking the shores of Lake Beratan — one of Bali's three volcanic crater lakes — making it one of the island's most atmospheric highland accommodation options. The surrounding landscape of mist-covered mountains, dense pine forest, and rice terraces offers a striking contrast to Bali's southern beach resorts.
The hotel's room stock includes standard rooms, deluxe rooms, and family rooms, all oriented toward the lake and garden setting. Architecture draws on local highland building styles with pitched roofs and wooden furnishings, creating a cosy, lodge-like ambience that suits the cooler climate well. Air conditioning is available but rarely required given the mountain temperatures, which typically range between 18 and 24 degrees Celsius year-round.
The on-site restaurant serves Indonesian and Western cuisine with ingredients that include locally grown highland vegetables, strawberries, and freshwater fish from the lake. The restaurant's garden-facing windows and terrace provide views across Lake Beratan toward the forested hills, making it a pleasant setting for both breakfast and dinner.
Mason Pine Hotel provides an excellent base for exploring the Bedugul Botanical Gardens (Kebun Raya Eka Karya Bali), which are among the finest tropical gardens in Southeast Asia. The iconic Pura Ulun Danu Bratan water temple, photographed against the shimmering lake surface, is also nearby. The surrounding area offers trekking trails, strawberry farms open to visitors, and a golf course at the neighbouring Bali Handara Golf Resort.
The hotel caters to nature-loving travellers, Indonesian domestic tourists, and international visitors on touring itineraries through central and northern Bali. A tour desk assists with arranging day trips including excursions to the Jatiluwih UNESCO rice terraces, Munduk waterfall, and the north coast fishing village of Lovina. Mason Pine is approximately 50 km from Denpasar and 30 km from Ubud.
