We were transfered here after our booking with Bali Dreams villa screwed up. Apparantly this is their sister company. We loved it. It is bigger than Bali dreams villa. More spacious (walkways etc). And importantly the location. Just have to walk out for a 24hr diner and so many restaurants. Also, they have a very handsome retriever which you can bring back to your villa to play with.
The villa is definately older than Bali dreams. But we loved it.
It may not be the newest or the most cutting edge but for a tranquil oasis from the kaos of the street this place is great.
Excellent locale with some of Bali's best eating and shopping on your doorstep.
The villas are private, clean, comfortable and well equipped. Great garden set pools terrific for a relaxing ,unwinding holiday with a few good books.
If you are staying for more that a couple of days take the time to get a cab ($6) to the Carrefor supermarket to stock up on snacks, extra water etc. to save going out in the heat of the day.
Breakfast at Ku Deh Ta and dinner at Potato Head a must.
Can't wait to go back !
When you have weather like Bali, you need accommodation that has a lounge room and a full kitchen/dining area outside... all undercover. Walk inside and you have your bedroom with TV/DVD, desk and comfortable bed. They also have safes in the room for money and passports (you set the password).
Off the bedroom, walk into the bathroom which is undercover and secure but you can lie in the bath and look at the stars. Amazing and the most relaxed I have ever felt.
Lets go back outside to the entertaining area and walk down a couple of steps to the banana lounges which are next to your own private pool. OMG! Just beautiful and so clean.
Staff are so friendly and will do everything to make your trip more relaxing and comfortable. They also have DVD's and books if you need them. Not sure if it is in every package but I had breakfast included in my package. Great variety to choose from. I had a different breaky each morning and I could have kept ordering different breakies had a stayed longer than the week. Good menu!
As each of the villa's had theie own pool, there was not a main pool for all the guests, it was very much personalised so you stayed within your own compounds. No restaurant there either but when you walk out to the street there are plenty of places to go. There is even a 24/7 Diner across the road which was nice, quick and cheap.
Shopping also walking distance.
There were heaps of mopeds/motorbikes and cars to rent but be aware, they drive all over the road. Even if you are walking across the road... be very alert, they seem to come from everywhere.
Taxi's are really cheap if you want to go to Kuta or Dreamland Beach.
So, if you want a big resort with bars and restaurants, then this is not for you. If you want privacy at a great price, then it is great. I would stay here again.
By the way, the driveway if off the main street so you really need to look out for the Heliconia sign as the villa's are then hidden down the drive and around the corner. Very private.
Just off the main shopping strip, but enough off of it to remain quiet. Staff was attentive, albeit a bit little lost sometimes. Had a menu in the villa, but tried to order off of it and were told they didn't have food other than breakfast. Finally got someone to figure out what we wanted, still wasn't remotely what we ultimately received. But other than that, nice pool, rooms were a bit spartan but well cleaned every day. It's decent value for the money.
