Overview of Erciva Bungalov
Erciva Bungalov is a small chalet-style property in the Haydariye neighbourhood of Gemlik, a district of Bursa province in north-western Türkiye. The word "bungalov" is simply Turkish for bungalow, and the name is an honest description of what the property offers: a handful of self-contained guest units rather than a multi-storey hotel block. Traveloka lists the property as a chalet, and its property information describes the setting as "in the mountains", which places it in the green, hilly country behind the Gemlik coastline rather than on the busy town seafront.
The scale is deliberately intimate. According to Traveloka's listing data, Erciva Bungalov has just 7 guestrooms, each described as individually decorated, so no two stays need feel exactly alike. The same listing says the rooms feature private pools and indoor private hot tubs, together with private furnished balconies or patios. That combination of a quiet hillside address, a small number of units and private outdoor space is the property's defining character, and it is what sets it apart from the larger business hotels down in Gemlik town.
The address on file is Haydariye mah, 6 nolu Haydariye sok, 48, Gemlik, Bursa, 16600. For travellers from Singapore, Gemlik is usually reached via Istanbul, and the Sea of Marmara shoreline is roughly 8.7 km from the property. That makes Erciva Bungalov a reasonable base for a slower-paced stay that mixes hillside downtime with day trips to the coast, the town of Yalova and the wider Bursa region.
The property is run by a professional host or manager, and the listing also notes a 24-hour receptionist, so there is a point of contact even though this is a far smaller operation than a city hotel. Because the property has no elevators and only a few units, it suits couples, families and small groups who value privacy over the bustle of a large resort.
Room Types at Erciva Bungalov
Traveloka's listing does not break Erciva Bungalov into separately named room tiers, so rather than invent categories, this section describes what the listing confirms about the 7 guestrooms. Room names, sizes and bed configurations shown at the time of booking may vary, so check the room options on the property page for the exact unit you are reserving.
Individually Decorated Guestrooms
Each of the 7 guestrooms at Erciva Bungalov is described as individually decorated. Beds come with premium bedding, according to the property description, and cable programming is available for entertainment. Complimentary wireless internet access is included in the rooms, which is useful for guests who want to stay in touch with home or plan their next day out from the room.
Private Pools and Indoor Hot Tubs
The most distinctive feature in the room description is that the guestrooms feature private pools and indoor private hot tubs. For a property of this size, that is the main reason many travellers will consider it, particularly couples looking for a quiet escape. As with any in-room feature, confirm on the specific room listing that the unit you are booking includes the pool and hot tub before you finalise your reservation.
Sofa Beds for Extra Guests
The listing states that all rooms are furnished with double sofa beds. This gives some flexibility for families or friends travelling together, although the property notes that extra-person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy. If you plan to use the sofa bed for an additional guest, declare the correct number of guests when booking so the room and rate reflect your party.
Balconies, Patios and Connecting Rooms
Rooms at Erciva Bungalov have private furnished balconies or patios, giving each unit its own outdoor space. The property also has connecting or adjoining rooms, which are subject to availability and can be requested by contacting the property using the number on the booking confirmation. The listing advises that outdoor spaces such as balconies, patios and terraces may not be suitable for children, so families with young children are encouraged to contact the property before arrival to confirm a suitable room.
Facilities and Amenities
For a property with only 7 guestrooms, Erciva Bungalov lists a surprisingly broad set of facilities. The highlights in Traveloka's facility data are the pools: the listing includes both an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, so swimming is possible whatever the weather. Outdoor living is a recurring theme, with a garden, a terrace, a picnic area and barbecue facilities all listed.
- Pools: an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, plus the in-room private pools and hot tubs described in the room information
- Outdoor spaces: garden, terrace, picnic area and barbecue
- Connectivity: free WiFi, listed as complimentary wireless internet access
- Parking: parking, secure parking and valet parking, with the business amenities description noting that free valet parking is available onsite
- General: a fireplace in the lobby, a designated smoking area and shops
- Accessibility: listed as disabled access friendly, though the property has no elevators
- Special occasions: romantic proposal packages are listed among the things to do
Guest services are also covered. The listing includes a 24-hour receptionist, concierge services, luggage storage, express check-out and laundry service, with dry cleaning and laundry services mentioned in the business amenities description. A laundry is also listed among nearby facilities.
Business travellers and small groups have options too. According to the listing, Erciva Bungalov offers business facilities, conference rooms and a 24-hour business centre, and its event facilities measure 60 square metres (646 square feet), including conference space. That is a modest footprint, best suited to a small meeting, a team retreat or a private celebration rather than a large conference.
Location and Getting There
Erciva Bungalov sits in Haydariye, part of the Gemlik district of Bursa province. Gemlik is a port town on the southern side of the Sea of Marmara, and the property's hillside address puts it a drive inland from the water. Traveloka's area information gives the following approximate distances from the property:
- Sea of Marmara: 8.7 km
- City Square: 15.8 km
- Yalova Ataturk Mansion: 18.1 km
- Celal Bayar Memorial: 19.6 km
- Port of Gemlik: 21.5 km
- Delmece Plateau: 22.8 km
- Karaca Arboretum: 24.4 km
- Kumsaz Beach: 27.5 km
- Yalova Aqualand: 28.9 km
- Ibrahim Müteferrika Paper Museum: 29 km
These distances show that a car is the most practical way to explore from Erciva Bungalov. The parking and valet parking listed by the property make self-driving straightforward, and many of the area's coastal and green attractions, from Karaca Arboretum to Kumsaz Beach and Akraba Beach, sit within about 30 km of the property.
The nearest airport in the listing data is Bursa Yenişehir (YEI), about 66.7 km away, while Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (SAW) is about 106.9 km away. Travellers starting in Singapore will usually connect through Istanbul; you can compare flights to Istanbul on Traveloka and then continue by road towards Gemlik. Because the property asks guests to contact it in advance for check-in instructions, it is worth sharing your expected arrival time once your travel plans are fixed.
Dining at Erciva Bungalov
Traveloka's property data records one restaurant at Erciva Bungalov, and the dining description notes that guests can take advantage of room service during limited hours. Opening hours, menus and whether breakfast is included are not set out in the listing, so check the rate details at booking and ask the front desk about meal times when you arrive.
The property's outdoor facilities give guests another option: with barbecue facilities, a picnic area and a garden listed, an alfresco meal in the hills is very much part of the experience here. Groups staying in connecting rooms may find a barbecue evening on the terrace one of the more memorable parts of the trip.
For a wider choice, Gemlik town and the Sea of Marmara coast are within driving distance, and the Bursa region is well known for its local cuisine. Guests planning outings around the area can also browse things to do and attractions on Traveloka to pair a day of sightseeing with a meal out before heading back to the chalet.
Why Stay at Erciva Bungalov
The appeal of Erciva Bungalov is privacy and space. With only 7 guestrooms, it is a world away from a large hotel, and the listing's combination of private pools, indoor private hot tubs and furnished balconies or patios gives each stay a self-contained, retreat-like feel.
- Small and personal: 7 individually decorated guestrooms under a professional host, with a 24-hour receptionist listed
- Water in every season: an outdoor pool and an indoor pool on site, alongside the in-room pools and hot tubs described in the room information
- Room to unwind outdoors: garden, terrace, picnic area and barbecue facilities
- Good for couples: romantic proposal packages are listed, making it an option for anniversaries and special occasions
- Flexible for groups: double sofa beds in all rooms and connecting rooms on request, subject to availability

It also works as a base for exploring the southern Marmara region by car, with the Sea of Marmara, Yalova and the Delmece Plateau all within reach. If you would like to weigh it against other options before deciding, you can compare more hotels on Traveloka across Gemlik and the wider Bursa area.
