A Game for All Ages
in the Food Forest.

Pickleball is a fun, sociable, and highly addictive racket sport enjoyed by players of all ages and abilities.

Our court is located within the Food Forest, surrounded by lush nature for a peaceful and immersive playing experience. Combining elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with a modified tennis net, making it accessible and easy to learn while remaining fast-paced and engaging.

Players use specialised paddles and lightweight plastic balls with perforations to enhance airflow and control, creating a game that encourages dynamic rallies and friendly competition.

Spend your days with quiet swims by the ocean or in the comfort of your own private haven. The Edge of Wildness awaits to be discovered.

Dive straight into sunset as the sky melts into the horizon. Perched above the ocean and tucked among the trees, Mamole Tree House is a place to slow down, let go, and take in the wild beauty.
No AI. No filters. No added sound. Just pure, raw, beautiful moments, straight off the phone..This is how your day starts at NIHI.
This is not AI. This is NIHI..On the island of Sumba, horses are part of everyday life. Woven through generations in tradition, ceremony, and culture. Symbols of freedom, strength, and spirit.Each day across the island of Sumba, locals bring their horses to the shoreline, where they wade into the sea to bathe and swim in the saltwater. A ritual as old as the island itself.
Where horses race along the shoreline and every moment feels untouched. The sight of @nihi’s herd galloping down the white sand of Nihiwatu Beach is unforgettable. Framed by the Indian Ocean and swaying palm trees, this is a type of magic you can only find and feel on the Edge of Wildness.
