Ngeluwungan Boutique Villa

This is a really great place to stay, booked it for our family and we all loved it. The staff are terrific and the setting is really picturesque with beautifully developed gardens, access to rooms is via timber walkways that 'float' over fish ponds and the pool overlooks rice paddies to the west. A morning swim, a lemon grass tea straight out of the herb garden and a house made omelette for breakfast, what better way to start your day!

If you want a relaxing holiday, away from the hustle and bustle of the other parts of the island, this is your place. I loved every minute of my holiday here. The staff gives 110% to make you feel at home. This was our first time in Bali and I wanted to do some exploring, the Villa provided us a car and a driver so travelling around was absolutely stress free. You can also borrow a bike or a scooter if you feel adventurous. They also provide plenty of activities to choose from (or just do them all like we did). Saturday you can visit a local orphanage that is sponsored by Ngeluwungan Villa, serve their dinner and play with the children afterwards (they are adorable). Sunday is the day of the fish market where you can pick up the freshest catch of the day and later participate in the seafood bbq, live music and Balinese dance by Star and Moon (the two lovely ladies who made our lush breakfasts in the mornings). The Secret waterfall tour is a must with Gede. It is a lifetime experience. He also took us on day trips to Ubud, Uluwatu and I can't thank him enough for being such a great guide. On wednesday there is an option to see the breathtaking sunset at Tanah Lot and a real Balinese feast back at the villa afterwards with all sorts of delicacies. Our room was amazing with an outdoor bathroom that added an extra bit of charm to our stay. Most nights we had our dinner at the villa, it was always fresh, tasty and prepared with care.
