Luggage Storage Near Elephant Cave

Despite the quaint name, Elephant Cave - or Goa Gajah - is an enigmatic sanctuary near Ubud’s Elephant River. Though some may be frightened by the statues that decorate this site, Goa Gajah is actually a cherished Hindu archaeological holy place. This much becomes evident after visitors brave the Elephant Cave’s intentionally ominous entrance. Experts are split as to why the Elephant Cave’s entrance was designed to be so frightening; some believe that the cave’s entrance bears the visage of the Bhoma, the Hindu God of Earth. Others believe that the monstrous face belongs to a demon and that entering Goa Gajah is akin to entering Naraka, the Hindu Underworld. Nevertheless, visitors find themselves drawn to the Elephant Cave and the mysteries inside. Guests should Bounce their baggage away before visiting this site. 

Luggage Storage Near Moon of Pejeng

The Moon of Pejeng isn’t a celestial body in the traditional sense; it’s a massive, ancient instrument known as a Timpani. Records indicate that Dong Son craftsmen created the Moon back in 300 B.C. However, legend holds that men didn’t create this instrument at all - that it’s actually the missing wheel of a divine chariot that flew over Earth. In any event, various Indonesian cultures have used the Moon of Pejeng in numerous ceremonies for centuries. Guests are more than welcome to visit the Pura Penataran Sasih temple, where the Moon resides. One of our Bounce storage stations is also located nearby.
