Adjacent to the resort's 500-year-old temple, a grand hand-carved wooden gate adorned with the island's flora and fauna symbolizes the boundary between the human world and the realm of spirits, designed in the traditional Balinese architectural principles of Asta Kosala Kosali—reflecting harmony and balance and influenced by the ancient Majapahit Kingdom—serving as the entrance to The Mandapa River Estate. 

The Mandapa River Estate spans 2,000 square meters and features three private rooms with modern en-suite bathrooms, including a master bedroom with an annexed twin bedroom, accommodating up to 9 guests. The estate features both indoor and outdoor living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and dining areas, including an alfresco pergola surrounded by fragrant gardens of tropical botanicals. Guests can enjoy leisurely afternoons by the expansive climate-controlled infinity pool, which seamlessly integrates with the natural surroundings, while the majestic Ayung River is ever-present, enriching the experience. The estate is decorated with earthy accents and a mix of natural materials, complemented by hand-painted murals and a collection of handcrafted artworks from Balinese artisans, serving as visual gateways to Bali's rich heritage, myths, and legends, capturing the essence of the island's vibrant culture.
