Bedrooms
Antique Javanese doors open from the living area to three bedrooms.
The main bedroom contains a queen-sized bed made from old teak wood
and an antique Javanese batik table. A dressing room leads to the
marble bathroom and outdoor garden shower. The second bedroom has
an antique Javanese queen-sized bed while the third contains two
single beds. A large terrazzo and marble bathroom with a deep tub,
outdoor shower and double vanity is shared between the two rooms.
Lower Level
Stairs lead down to the open dining-area, with views across the
lush valley. The dining table is constructed from sections of an
antique Javanese house and comfortably seats up to 10. The kitchen
has granite bench-tops and is well equipped with a refrigerator,
oven, gas cook-top and modern appliances and utensils. Antique Javanese
doors lead to the fourth bedroom which contains a queen-sized bed
and a marble/terrazzo en-suite. Sliding glass doors open onto the
terrace.
Bottom Level
Steps lead down to the sun-deck and the infinity edge swimming pool
with its stunning backdrop of tropical forest.
Furnishings
The house contains many unique pieces of antique furniture from
Java and Lombok and is decorated with traditional weavings, carvings,
statues and antique shadow puppets. There is a television, CD player,
VCR, DVD and a small collection of CD’S and books.
Night Life
World-famous music and dance performances, jazz cafes and fine restaurants
are just 10 minutes away – at the villa we can only offer
you the sounds of nature, the cascading river, frogs croaking, crickets
chirping and the scent of frangipani and night jasmine.
Due to the open plan of the house, you may see the glimmer of a
fire-fly, hear the call of our beautiful blue and pink spotted Tokay
who resides in the roof or receive the occasional visit from a frog.
If you are not ‘creature-friendly’ this may not be the
place for you.
The Village and Staff
The villa is part of the village of Melayang and our guests are
always warmly welcomed at the many temple ceremonies. Staff can
assist you with the sarong and sash required to attend ceremonies.
As in all Balinese houses, the Gods have their home within our home.
Every morning our local priest presents offerings to the Gods both
inside the house and at the various house temples in the garden.
All our staff are from Melayang or the adjacent village of Bintang
Kuning, (Yellow Star.) They are also accomplished carvers, painters
and musicians.
