We thought 2 weeks would be too short to relax. Particularly with two adolescents, my in-laws and sister. But as soon as we entered the estate, we felt the tranquillity. Everything looked lovely. It’s great that all the bedrooms are arranged so you can be on your own for a while. We’d already asked for some good tips about the surroundings, because, with children, you need something active to do. Gustut was a super host and organised the trips from start to finish. A day snorkelling in Amed is a ‘must’.

Another good thing: superfast Wifi, because teenagers can’t live without their phones….

The food at the estate was so good, we only went out for a meal once. The chef has the gift of sensing exactly what everyone likes. Even our youngest enjoyed the food and he’s a really picky eater. Thank you for looking after us so well.

This is our second visit. Over ten years ago with our children and their friends, this time with friends of ours. Again, the hospitality and service were excellent. It was nice to see everyone again, hale and hearty, after Covid. It was just as magical as we remembered. But far more luxurious. We slept beautifully on the new box-springs. Now we were able to dine at the estate, even the ‘foodies’ among us preferred to stay ‘home’ and enjoy chef Gustat’s culinary delights. Hats off to this excellent chef!

This time we also spent a day snorkelling with a guide. Unforgettably beautiful, and we didn’t have to organise anything ourselves. The driver took us there and collected us again. What service! We’re definitely coming back.

It felt a bit extreme to rent an estate for just 2 people, but we’re so glad we did – this holiday ranks in our top-ten list!

The private chauffeur was waiting for us. When we got there, the chef spoiled us with a delicious welcome dinner. It was so fantastically quiet and so beautiful, the green rice fields and Mount Agung in the distance. We haven’t slept so well in ages. A short walk in the garden, reading a book next to the pool – for us, the ultimate luxury, not having to do anything.

When we’re on holiday, my husband particularly likes to able to arrange his day himself, and not be disturbed by other guests. The host booked us a Balinese massage every morning; after a week we’d wound down and relaxed completely. We wish we could have stayed on longer!
