Nice staff, good and tasty food at a very reasonable price. The guy who works there as the “heron keeper” was very knowledgeable and allowed us to feed the herons - It was feeding time :) - the garden is well maintained, beautiful to look at. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the visit to other travelers!

Unsure about the food to be honest. We went for the sanctuary and had the best conversation with the staff there. We were the only ones around, close to finishing, but we were welcomed with a warm hug. “How can i help you? - i don’t know Being surprised by the moment has it’s own beauty”

RECOMEND VISIT Lovely place to stop. Very beautiful garden with birds in it walking around - the ones which are in the clinic. Friendly owner who explains you everything about the birds, and they prepared delocius meal and drinks for good price. At the time we were alone in the cafe, which is also good that is not overcrowded, you can get some peace around Ubud :)

Amazing place. We took a quick stop to get some good food and drinks. You get a good deal for your money. The guys here are super friendly and keen to explain a lot about the birds, if you are interested. I can fully recommend to stop here and spend some time.

The owner Made truly loves birds and nature. You can tell that every living being is very well taken care of here. What a beautiful, peaceful abode in the midst of the craziness of Ubud. I stopped by because I wanted to be able to take a walk in nature without scooters around. Lovely garden and pond with running water creates a calming atmosphere. I will be back!

I came the other day to see the work done to protect egrets and other injured birds. Made has been very professional and is doing amazing at conveying his passion for birds. I totally endorse this place and their mission ! Please visit and give them a hand

Beautiful setting with great well-priced food (particularly the pisang goreng!!). Really worth a visit particularly to see the herons when they migrate. There were no herons in the sanctuary when we went because they’ve been well taken care of, but it was still a very enjoyable trip :)

We came here on a rainy day and it was so relaxing to have a late lunch with a garden view. We visited during feeding time and I got to feed some of the birds they were caring for. The staff were very kind thank you for having us!
