Bali or Europe? Retired Hong Kong couple builds an ‘alpine’ retreat in the mountains

“At the moment, it’s about 23 degrees Celsius [73 degrees Fahrenheit],” says new hotelier Cheryl Kwok, looking out of her window on a recent overcast afternoon. “The rainy season is just about to start, so we’ve got a little drizzle. At night, it might drop to 14 or 16 degrees.” It may come as a surprise that Kwok, a native Singaporean and former Hong Kong resident, is based in Bali.
