| The garden
The land is 2000
m2 and slightly sloping. The garden is completely surrounded by a wall.
The entrance is at the gate where also the servant’s quarters are.
The servant guards
the house, works in the garden and takes care of the house and the guests.
The garden is planted with a selection of beautiful indigenous plants,
flowers, and trees. The two temples for the gods offer spiritual protection.
A few steps lead from the house to the terrace with lounge-chairs, two
swimming-pools and a lotus pond. The pool for the children is 2,5 x 8 m
en 40 cm deep. The big pool is 9 x 13 m and 1.60 deep. At the corner of
the big pool is the Baleh bengong, a small covered typical Balinese outhouse. |

Location:
The house
is built at the edge of a small village Pererenan in the Canggu area. The
beach is at 5 minutes walking distance. It is supposed to be one of the
best surf spots of Bali. But it is still very quiet. There are two or three
small beach houses, where you can buy a beer or a coca cola. The current
is rather strong, but there is a spot on the beach where swimming is possible.
You always have to be very careful though. The village has a few small
warungs for groceries. The village is typical Balinese. Tourism has not
yet penetrated. |
| Yet the hot
spots are not very far. Seminyak: 15 minutes by car, Kuta, at 20 minutes.
The airport is at 25 minutes drive. To the northwest, at 20 minutes by
car from the villa, you will find the golf links of Tanah Lot, many times
chosen as the best in Asia.
All the important
places are within driving distance: Denpasar 20 minutes, Ubud 40 minutes. |

The service
Hiring a villa offers many
advantages. It gives more space, more comfort, more privacy and more service
than staying in a hotel. If you add up all those advantages, it is even
cheaper, especially renting a villa for the whole family.
There is a permanent staff
at the premises for security and service. ‘Security’ sounds as if criminality
is prolific on Bali. That is not true. The terrible bombings of 2002
were also a violation of the essentially peaceful Balinese society. It
gives you a safe feeling though that your properties and valuables are
protected. |
| The house, garden
and swimming pool are kept clean, the laundry is done for you, if you wish.
The servants bring offerings to the gods. Tell the servant every morning
what you want to eat and drink, give him/her shopping money and he takes
care of the contents of the fridge. Your meal will be served at the time
you decide to eat. If you do not want to eat at home, you don’t eat at
home. If you want to do your own shopping, you do that. If you want to
do the cooking yourself, then you do it yourself. It is that simple. The
staff is invisibly present. They are proud to make your stay as pleasant
as possible without disturbing your privacy. The villa and the servant’s
house are built so that staff and inhabitants do not live in each others
view. Some Balinese servants speak reasonable English, some others only
have a few words, but communication will always be possible between inventive
and good-natured people. The manager of the villa, who speaks English,
is always available by telephone. On a festive day, a holiday or during
ceremonies in the village, a funeral or a marriage, where all the villagers
should be present, the staff will have to fulfill its religious duties.
It is also for you as a guest a very special occasion to be witness to
a real ceremony. Balinese people are very hospitable.
The rent of the villa includes
the salary of the staff, electricity, water, gas, gardener, local taxes,
etc. The groceries etc. are for your account. Linen and towels are of course
included. At the end of your stay it is customary to give the staff a bonus
for services rendered.
There is satellite tv. Telephone
on payment. Wireless internet is available on payment(if you bring your
laptop). Internet is also available in an internet cafe in village. You
will be met at the airport and taken to the airport. Also there are adapters
for electricity, there is a baby-cot, baby-sit service, drinking water
and umbrellas.
Transport from and to
the airport is included.
A dependable car with driver
can be rented for approximately 50 euros a day, everything included. The
manager can be your intermediary for hiring a car without driver. On Bali
traffic drives left. Mopeds and scooters are the favorite vehicles of the
Balinese people. Taxis are relatively cheap. Drivers work with taximeters.
The climate on Bali is tropical,
hot and moist. Dry season is from March to November. But you have to count
with a shower now and then. Rainy season is from November to March. Even
then life on Bali is wonderful. The sun shines anyway, although there are
more and heavier showers. It is less crowded than during dry season. For
the peak season in July, August and September and also during Christmas
holidays you are advised to book early. |
