“Your own piece of Paradise and truly amazing place to stay” Villa Maju was truly amazing. This was my first time travelling from Melbourne to Bali to attend my Daughters Wedding and I was very anxious about going. After several telephone conversations and reassurance from the owner Mary who lives in Sydney I am so glad I booked this Villa. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the wonderful staff treated us like royalty and also welcomed my daughters & partners who also visited the Villa daily as if they were also paying guests. I would like to make a special mention to the staff Wayan, Welan, Tinny, Rai & Mardi (the security man) who went way and above to ensure our stay was one of the most memorable holiday's I have ever had. The respect the staff have for Mary the owner is truly amazing and Mary is very lucky to have such loyal staff to work for her. I would highly recommend to indulge in the Barbecue dinner and the highlight for me was the Teppanyaki which is prepared and cooked by Wayan & Welan who made it such a special night to treasure for ever. I really only left the Villa to attend my Daughters Wedding and to be honest why would you want to leave such a beautiful place anyway. The Villa's facilities were more then you could dream for and the garden was full of beautiful tropical flowers. I would highly recommend Villa Maju to anyone and would like to thank Mary for all your help and you are so lucky to have such a wonderful place to call home.

“Home from Home!” We couldn't have asked for more and we felt at home almost immediately. Although the villa is described as cosy it is incredibly spacious and light with 2 sides of the property opening up onto a beautiful well maintained garden and the other side a swimming pool which again was very well maintained. Although the villa is in the grounds of the owner and his family this was in no way intrusive and at the same time it was nice to have a chat as and when. Just outside the gates of the villa there are several small supermarkets and some excellent local warungs (restaurants). The beach is a 10 minute walk away and although the villa is set back from a fairly busy road there is very little noise pollution. My husband and I found the villa to be the perfect place to base ourselves for 3 months while going on regular excursions around Bali and surrounding islands. We both highly recommend this villa.

“We felt like the rich and famous!!! - What a dream place to stay” Well what can i say - I loved every minute of this place. Everything about Kulraya Villas is 5 star! * The house and view, the pool is absolutely stunning. * Bedrooms are beautiful - one looks over the pool and the other over the garden/hills * Two bathrooms which are both clean and to a high standard * Beds are huge - queen in one room and king in the other. Or a king and a XL king * The place is immaculate - you just call them when you want the room cleaned * The breakfasts are delicious - choice of continental or cooked * The food (if ordered) is well priced compared to hotels and is delivered to the villa promptly and is delicious. * The location is beautiful - perched up in the hills * There's a fully equip kitchen so great for families as well as a washing machine. * I could keep going on for ever as i loved so much about this place. The only thing i could say against the location is that you really need your own transport. ie car or motor bike. This isn't even really a problem as Ian and Luk can organise this for you at a good rate or just get one from the many places in town. We got a bike for 200 Baht a day! The beaches are lovely. The closest one is about a 3-4 min drive away with white sand and crystal blue water. Other surrounding beaches we loved was Relax Bay which was great for kids as its a small beach so you could always see the kids and the water is shallow. I want to go back there and have told all my friends about it.

“Peaceful jungle hideaway” Villa Damee is remote enough to feel like you are in a slice of your own private jungle heaven, yet is still an easy drive to the attractions of Ubud. You have to walk across a little path over the rice paddies to get to the villa, which is so pretty and quite good fun! The villa itself is architecturally impressive and interesting. The furniture and interior design is interesting and beautiful. The house has two double bedrooms so ideal for our party (two couples). The kitchen and dining areas are spacious and fun for partying in. The bathrooms are semi-open so only come here if you are OK with the occasional bug! The pool gets a lot of shade - because the property is almost hewn into the hillside underneath the rice paddies, hence it is totally surrounded by luscious greenery. Bird-watching and simply sitting in silence and enjoying the peace was blissful. You can occasionally hear the neighbourhood gamelan practice in the evenings. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful - Ketut, Wayan and the rest of the team - thank you! Also the owners were very helpful and polite and accommodating during the booking process. I think, if I had just one area to be hypercritical, the food could be SLIGHTLY improved. But it's still great for the price and it's lovely to have the staff prepare your meals as you relax by the pool. We enjoyed massages and fresh coconuts all at our leisure at home. Overall it was also very good value. Definitely recommended!

“Your own Private Oasis.” Great location. 5 mins in a cab to the heart of Seminyak if you do decide to leave the Villa. Amazing Villa to relax and enjoy massages, great beer (Bintang) and food. The staff were very friendly and attentive yet gave you enough space to truly relax. Highly recommend.

“Great villa with nice view at sunset in Bali see” We spend 11 nights at villa Mente and enjoyed the luxury of the villa, the pool and it's staff. We made several daytrips but we also stayed some days relaxing at the pool. Komang does the household and coocking. She made our holiday and stay at villa Mente unforgettable. Many thanks!

“A Balinese village getaway, spotlessly clean and well appointed, and a short walk to shops and restaurants.” We stayed at Kupa Kupa Villa for one week in March 2014 and really enjoyed it. It was our first trip to Bali, and we opted for the airport pick up. It was punctual, friendly and good value, and far easier than trying to find our own way. As indicated on the Tripadvisor listing, the paths accessing the villa may not be suitable for the physically challenged, but our 60-something legs didn’t find them a problem. Actually the walks to and from the villa provided an interesting experience of Balinese village life. We stayed in the upper level villa. It was well appointed and spotlessly cleaned daily by the caretakers who also made a good breakfast. All the furniture including the double bed was in top condition. The terrace was a great place to relax and it offered nice rural views. The villa’s pool is small but deep and more than adequate for relief from the heat after a trip out to the many surrounding sights, or a walk up from Candidasa. The warungs, restaurants and shops along the main road and beachfront in Candidasa offer plenty of choice and a range of standards and costs. If we didn’t feel like walking too far, the German/Indonesian café at the bottom of the access stairs provided good meals and snacks. Overall, a great place to stay and relax away from the frenetic life of places like Kuta and Ubud. Good value too. Recommended.

“Very authentic Ubud living from hospitable host” In our week's stay in Bali, Ubud was the 2nd destination and we loved it. No doubt Ubud is known for it's art works and culture and agung had made sure that his villa resembles the very essence of it. The villa is located right at the south-west edge of Ubud and is not the easiest place to be found. On the way, one can find all the marvelous wood carved artifacts on the village streets. The villa was built away from the main street in a quieter area with greeneries all around. It's amazing to find so much of trees around, yet there was not much of an issue with bugs/insects/mosquitoes. The kitchen is located just besides the cool private pool where we could enjoy the evening with some drinks and delicious local dishes. If you're interested in local cuisines, check out "Soka Kitchen" who had served the best authentic Balinese dishes at a very reasonable price (they also have home delivery which is even more convenient). None of the rooms got any aC, but Ubud is rather cooler compared to other parts of Bali and so we felt rather comfortable with the stand fans. Agung was extremely helpful all the way and gave us 1st hand experience of the local attractions and culture of Ubud. He himself had taken us around Ubud with visits to Monkey forest, the museums, art galleries, the spectacular rice fields. Pity we didn't have enough time to check out the Balinese dance or religious rituals in the local temples. A walk around the village in the morning breathing the fresh air and greeted with smiling locals is an unique experience and I'd suggest if you're looking for a trip to Bali, spend a few days in Ubud. Agung's villa can provide all amenities at a reasonable price for a family vacation.
