Homepod in Bali,  is a mobile home or the Homestay shaped like an egg house and build 

with the natural material in the shore of Lake Ulun Danu, Tabanan, Bali. This eco-friendly Homestay was designed and funded by the Tourism Ministry as the pilot project (For a unit cost RP 150 million is included genset).

Homepod was claimed as eco-friendly Homestay as it's built with bamboo and use less electrical equipment installed in the house, so tourists could enjoy the nature while seeing the beautiful landscape of the Ulun Danu lake.  Even though this house is simple, it consists of two floors.  It is suitable for one family.  

"We will develop nomadic tourism in some areas and provide facilities such as caravan, glamping (glamorous camping), and Homepod and even seaplane," said Minister Arief Yahya.

Because of this house is easy to move, nomadic tourism is very suitable to be developed in areas that have not been available accomodation such as hospitality or Homestay.  The Ulun Danu lake is the perfect example spot for this egg shaped house.
