I've never experienced Bali like this before. My beautiful true Balinese experience began as we drove into the village of Sudaji and didn't stop until I had to sadly leave behind this magical place with the views of the mountains and the sea 2 days later. Everyone everywhere in Sudaji smile back at you like their sending their love to you from their heart. I was welcomed by beautiful Ibu Ayu who looked after all my needs and provided me with amazingly tasty Balinese food from their big kitchen space where I could if I wished join the other guests from the "Teak house" for a chat. My gazebo gave me privacy with my own table and seat on my deck, allowing me to just sit and sit and soak up Bali, or enjoy a meal bought over from the kitchen (it was my choice as to where I wanted to eat). I enjoyed my own space in the octagonal wooden gazebo which providing me with uninterrupted views from all angles and a bathroom with a view from the shower so I could watch the rice grow in the field. At night there are millions of stars as there are very few lights in the distance and you realize you are in a more remote northern part of the island. With the sun setting in the backdrop of rice terraces, mountain side and tree tops down to the river I appreciated that I was surrounded by the true beauty of Bali. There is SO much to do there and I did nothing but soak in the peace. I will come back as I want to go to the famous Sekumpul waterfall (not quite on the tourist radar yet), join in and experience one of the villages big ceremonies, go out in a Balinese fishing boat, snorkel the northern waters and have some more time in the "unspoiled peace" of Bali. I look forward to returning to experience more of the true loving experience of the Balinese people and be able to appreciate how they live such a peaceful existence in their villages where you feel welcome and encouraged to fully experience their way of life. Thank you for making my brief holiday in the North of Bali, SO amazing and providing me with all of the details to understand exactly what I would experience, beyond my wildest dreams! ” Guest access **MEALS NEED TO BE ORDERED ONE DAY IN ADVANCE** Amazingly flavourful traditional Balinese food available.
