House For Sale
 
Bloo Lagoon, Padang Bai
Thank you all so much for helping to make our holiday in Oolong house so unforgettable. We loved everything about it and felt truly priveleged to see so much of real Bali life at such close quarters. The setting is amazing - so peaceful but surrounded by so much of interest. How glad we were that the hotels we tried to book in Sanur were fully booked!

The manager Wayan was superb - efficient, friendly and full of humour. Nothing was too much trouble. He organised some wonderful drivers too - particularly Wayan who waited for us for 6 hours when we became a little lost on a stunning forest walk - quite an experience! The girls who cleaned and cooked for us were delightful - always polite and smiling and everyone we met was happy to help us to understand their fascinating culture. We saw, did and learnt so much - it was one of our best ever holidays. We certainly hope to return - there is still more to see and we now feel that we have some real Balinese friends.
Thank you all.

Hi Jack,
I just wanted to let you know that we have had a wonderful holiday in Bali. We felt that we got a real 'taste' of daily life at Lodtundah. We enjoyed walks amongst the roosters, dogs and lively children of the village and the children flew kites and trekked through the rice paddies like locals. They thoroughly enjoyed their proximity to nature and the work of village life and soaked up Bali culture and Bahasa like magic sponges.

Wayan was a very courteous and safe driver and took us to many fun places: a farm at Bedugul where we picked strawberries, the tree tops at Botanical Gardens (twice!), Padang Bai, kite flying, Sanur beach, Monkey Forest.......we were never stuck for something to do! I will recommend him to any of our friends traveling to Bali.

We also enjoyed the T-house compound which was very relaxing and beautifully situated. The kids loved the pool which we visited on a daily basis and grew very fond of Kamantha House. I love how nature is incorporated into the building structures at T-house and the sense of connection this creates between both.

We managed to spend two nights at the Bloo Lagoon at Padang Bai before we left - the scenery there was breathtakingly beautiful. I heard through the grapevine that you also have a house there - rice paddies and turquoise seas - the best of both worlds. I can appreciate how much you must enjoy both properties when you return to Bali.

Despite our two week stay we feel that we have plenty more to discover in Bali and will be back.
Warmest wishes

"Fred and I had a fabulous time in Bali – everything was exceptional! You were right about the Balinese being a beautiful people. We really loved the fact that we were in Lodtuduh, and not in some high rise on the beach. The mornings at T House were especially lovely - Putu, Kadek, and Wayan took very good care of us, and manager Wayan made sure that everything was comfortable and efficient. We enjoyed all the time we spent with Wayan - he was an excellent host!
He was very generous with his time and even sent us back home with several gifts. Agung was an outstanding driver - he drove us to the coast for snorkeling and around Batur.

Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Fred was a fan of Buckminster Fuller many years ago, and one of his friends lived in a geodesic dome, so it was such a treat to be part of your extended philosophy, even if it was just for a week. I know we will be return to Bali in one day!
If we would get some type of financial windfall, we would love to be part of your community.
I know the song says, "I left my heart in San Francisco," but Fred and I know we left it in Bali.
Thank you once again and blessings to those in Bali.”
