Murni's Houses and Spa

The property is lovely with a real Balinese feel to it. There are lots of water features and statues in the small grounds. The swimming pool is small-ish but a decent size for the type of property. Due to its location it almost feels indoors but it is semi-exposed to outside, just has a high wall (decorated with sculptures) bordering it and covered over seating area (with a couple of sun loungers). Our 2 bedroomed apartment was wonderful. Very spacious, each bedroom was ensuite with a balcony, fan, aircon and netting on the windows (but not on the balcony doors). There was a small kitchen area with a kettle and fridge. There was also a separate loo off the living area. The apartment was so much nicer than I ever imagined it would be, the only slight downside was the living area was rather dark. But it had a great huge four poster bed type thing in it (think they called it a Chinese wedding bed) with mosquito netting around it. And there was a good selection of books left on the shelves in the room for you to borrow. Murni also has a warung down the road with tables on several levels. The lowest riverside level gets booked up. They will run you home free of charge if you can't manage the walk back up the hill. I believe if you say you are staying at Murnis you get a discount (at least that is what the message on the bottom of our bill said, but we didn't get the discount even though they knew we were guests...)

I know a lot of the year it is perhaps too hot to sit outside but I would have liked one or two seats in the garden somewhere, perhaps to the right of the spa area (a swinging chair would have been ideal!) I thought the prices quoted for taxis e.g. to the airport were unduly high so would recommend you book these elsewhere.

Everyone and everything on the property makes you feel like at home. Friendly stuff, amazing food, original design.

Big old pillows in bedrooms makes your sleep uncomfortable.

An absolute dreamy place to stay

Nothing.
