I’m an Australian passport holder, but really, I’m more of a global citizen with a suitcase permanently on standby. I’ve travelled far and wide, stayed in every kind of short-stay property you can imagine (from charming jungle huts to quirky city lofts), and made it my mission to borrow the best ideas from each. These days, I manage over 24 properties in Australia and 15 in beautiful Bali — think of me as part hospitality expert, part travel enthusiast, and part unofficial cocktail taster. Fun-loving and always up for good conversation, happy to toast the sunset with guests while swapping travel stories (and a few secrets I can’t put in writing). In short — I take hospitality seriously, but never myself.

Welcome to Your Ubud Escape Tucked away in the peaceful artistic village of Penestanan, Ubud, our two side-by-side villas offer the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and central access. Each villa is a fully self-contained 2-bedroom home with its own private pool, lush tropical garden, kitchen, and semi-open living space. Whether you book just one villa for an intimate stay, or both villas together for a family or group retreat, you’ll find yourself in a home that combines modern chic design with the warmth of Balinese hospitality. Both villas are completely private and not connected – you will never share your pool or living spaces with other guests. The only commonality is that the front doors are next to each other, which makes it convenient for groups renting both villas together. Why Choose Our Villas Private pool & sun loungers (per villa) 2 air-conditioned king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (1 bathtub + 1 shower in each villa) Fully equipped kitchen & semi-open living room Daily housekeeping included Breakfast & floating breakfast available Scooter & car rental on request Airport transfers, day trips, and adventure tours arranged Ideal for couples, families, or small groups Breakfast & Dining Options While many excellent cafés are only a short walk away, we also offer in-villa dining options for those who prefer to start their mornings poolside. Standard breakfast: USD 10 per person (min. 2 guests) Floating breakfast: IDR 450,000 / USD 30 for two persons Nearby Penestanan village is home to some of Ubud’s most loved restaurants, juice bars, and vegan cafés. From Alchemy Ubud’s raw vegan bowls to the local warungs serving traditional nasi campur, there’s something for every taste within walking distance. ⚠️ Construction Note 🚧 A construction project is currently underway on the road leading to the villa. Some daytime noise may be heard. We have discounted our rates as a gesture of appreciation.
