Kampang Kakak came to life in early in 2016 as a result of the strong relationship between the owners and the local people. It was seen as an opportunity to create employment for the village while providing them with a stable income. Mihi Ndun from nearby Loedik is our onsite manager and has outstanding english. She takes a great deal of pride in providing each guest with a unique and comfortable experience.

Welcome to Kampung Kakak (village of the older brother or sister). We are an environmentally friendly accommodation who strives to provide each guest with a unique and comfortable experience. Our aim is to create a green environment by exercising sustainable practices throughout our property. Over the years we have implemented a number of strategies that focus on creating this environment; these include but are not limited to a recyclable water system, solar and wind energy, a compost system and the collection and distribution of rainwater. All of these steps have not only helped us work towards our goal of creating an eco-friendly environment but also set the framework for the future of our Eco Lodge. Along with our commitment to the environment we also have a strong focus on supporting the local community. The Loedik Village has played an integral part in the formation of Kampung Kakak and as a result we have built up a strong relationship with the people of this village. To honor this relationship, we allocate 50% of net proceeds from the running of Kampung Kakak to the Loedik family.
