The Chai T house was a refresing experience. Since it is open to the elements, there was naturally some dirt and dust inside the property. The sheets were not high quality but they were clean, the furniture was neat and in good condition, and there were plenty of lights and electrical outlets - oddly placed switches and all.The communal pool was refreshing and clean, though there were leaves and other organic matter in the pool that had sunk to the bottom - normal for an outdoor, uncovered pool. It did not stop us from swimming in the pool and enjoying the beautiful scenery. The property managers were friendly and welcoming and offered plenty of useful advice about hte area and about the local customs. The Chai T house was not luxury living - from a Canadian standpoint, it was more like very luxurious glamping. It was a bit raw, a bit rough around the edges, a bit buggy (except inside the bed with the mosquito netting). However, there was something magical about being inside the upper bedroom, safely watching a tropical rainstorm blow through. There was something special about being surrounded by the jungle in the outdoor (mostly private) bathroom. Between the very active and vocal roosters in the area AND the villagers practicing and preparing for Nyepi, it was an unforgetable experiene that we will enjoy forever. * Be prepared - the wall between the two shower stalls is narrow enough that your friend/traveling partner could reach around and scrub your...back.

What an amazing place to stay. Lovely comfy beds, helpful team who were always ready to help in any way they could. We will definitely return to this paradise so close to the Centre of ubud. Easy to get around but away from the busy centre

Marvellous staff ready to help at any time .We could come again . For sure .

THouse is located coviniently in the rural setting of Ubud. We walked to Ubud and it took us 30 minutes of an interesting march. Walking through the village and fields is a pure pleasure but one you get to the main road the real challenge begins as footways are very narrow and full of open holes to storm water channels. Taxi from /to Ubud 30,000 RP. Accommodation is a perfect personification of Balinese spirit. Garden, courtyard, house are tangled together and fluid. Open air bathrooms are a fascinating cultural curiosity which we enjoyed very much. Ground floor room is more European style:with walls, glazing and TV. The first floor bedroom is a Balinese interpretation of it: open to nature, stunning sunset views. Both rooms have big fans and mosquito nets. And we found that it is sufficient to feel comfortable. It was a bit loud at night due to the surrounding nature. Froggy rap accompanied by cricket drum section became our favourite music.Breakfests are freshly prepared by lovely ladies. You just open the door in the morning and they come relatively soon to make typical breakfast food: eggs (scrambled, fried, omlet or pancakes), toast, fruit and Balinese coffee. Perfect start of a day.Swimming pool is clean, comfortable, with a shallow section for children. It is long enough to have some meaningful exercise. Tranquil views over the rice field. Stargazing recommended. Optional services include: massage and taxi. Massage is SUPERB ladies provided us with Balinese relaxation massage. And WE deeply regret that we took only one.....Gerry recommended Putu the taxi driver for the airport transfer and we also asked him to give us a tour and drive us to Amed. And indeed his services were also excellent. He speaks fairly good English, knows places so can suggest routes if you give him your objectives, talks but also gives room for private conversations. We were so happy that we employed him multiple times.Overall we had wonderful time and THouse was an integral part of the experience. The staff on the compound is great. Apart from doing their job well, they also are very helpful in non standard situations such as assisting in changing the cooking class booking or treating the wound. THANK YOU!!!
