There is a secure car park outside the main entrance.

The main 2-storey building houses three of the bedrooms and is characterised by a colonnaded wrap-around Terrace and a corresponding wide wrap-around balcony on the upper floor. The terrace is furnished with a large circular table and six chairs for alfresco dining under a funky metal chandelier. There is also a bar with a curved façade, and a cushioned rattan sofa and chairs together with a glass-topped rattan table.

Here, guests can enjoy a more formal dining experience around a solid chunky dining table for ten. The office area is furnished with a daybed, shelf units and a desk, and is equipped with a computer, Internet access, a fax machine, and a central telephone system. A guest powder room is accessed from this area. The adjacent Service Kitchen is one of two kitchens at the villa. This one is set up so that the staff can serve food quickly and efficiently at dinner parties and functions, it is fully equipped and well-stocked with quality glassware, crockery and cutlery; a large refrigerator is hidden within a custom-designed cupboard.

The Main Kitchen is a chef’s dream in black, white and chrome. Immaculate and professionally equipped, it features black marble surfaces and white cabinets, with adjacent store rooms. There is a small garden and terrace at the back of the property beside the kitchen, which is home to a gorgeous statue of the Hindu god, ‘Ganesha’. The villa is also equipped with a generator.

The open-plan TV Room boasts a satellite TV and DVD player, two substantially-sized yielding sofas, a large square coffee table, a lazy chair and a pair of carved side tables positioned upon a warm parquet floor under a soaring pitched roof. This cosy, relaxing area is tastefully enhanced with local artifacts and mirrors.

The air-conditioned Master Bedroom is located downstairs and is dominated by a king size four-poster bed resting upon a parquet floor. The beautiful customised furniture includes a large daybed, wardrobe and cupboards; there is also a TV and DVD player and a safety deposit box, and local artwork adorns one wall. The adjoining cream terrazzo bathroom features ‘his & hers’ washbasins, coffee-coloured mosaic tiles, a shower positioned within a spacious glass cubicle, and a toilet.  A sliding door leads from the bedroom directly onto the verandah.

A terrazzo staircase leads up to the air-conditioned Second Bedroom, featuring a parquet floor and furnished with a queen size divan bed complete with a mosquito net. There is also a daybed that can be set up as an extra bed, a custom-made side table, and a safety deposit box.

This is a great spot for relaxing with an afternoon cocktail while enjoying the pleasant view over the garden and pool area.

The guest house is a separate single-storey building comprised of two interconnecting air-conditioned guest bedrooms. Each bedroom is characterised by fresh white walls under a soaring thatched roof. Each is furnished with a king size, canopied, four-poster bed created from ornately carved antique wood, together with bedside cabinets, lamps, lazy chairs, table, and dressing area with fitted cupboards, safety deposit box, and full length mirror. Sliding doors open onto the pool deck. Each bedroom is complemented by its own private en-suite bathroom, and each bathroom boasts a stylish dark grey décor with a polished concrete vanity unit and mosaic tiles, ‘his & hers’ sunken washbasins, toilet, and powerful shower.  The bedrooms are linked by a cosy sitting room furnished with a comfy, deeply cushioned sofa, standard lamps and a low sideboard.

The villa is positioned around two sides of the large 17 x 6.5 metre lap pool, which is tiled with green Java stone and complemented by a serene Buddha statue and an outdoor rainshower. Privacy and security is maintained by an encompassing garden wall. At one end of the pool is a relaxation pavilion, known as a ‘bale bengong’. Furnished with cushions, it is great for chilling out with a book or taking an afternoon nap. A small, 2-storey, rectangular, wooden gazebo, charmingly fashioned in the form of a traditional rice barn – known as a ‘lumbung’ or ‘jineng’ – with a thatched, horseshoe-shaped roof, rests in another part of the garden. It features a lower platform and a staircase leading up to a private, upper room accessed by a Lombok door. This is a fun playhouse for children.
