This was one of the most magical stays during our time in Bali. The villa is familŷ run, and it gives you that sense of warmth and homeliness. The house is huge, ornate and magical and rests in the at the top of a gorge, and is more akin to a Balanise palace than a house. The food was unbelievable,... More

Every family has a story and the Villa Wastra family headed by Bob and Mariah is no different. Theirs is a quintessentially Indonesian story transcending Dutch colonial rule and modern day Indonesian ethnic diversity. I am not going to tell their story but if you choose to visit Villa Wastra make sure to ask and they will happily tell you.... More

The location, the rooms, but most of all the hospitality of Mariah and Bob were what made this leg of my Bali trip the best part of the trip. Mariah and Bob were so welcoming and warm, that I felt like I was visiting family. The food is absolutely delicious, home-cooked, Indonesian deliciousness. The location was amazing - we found...

This luxurious and beautiful location will allow you to physically and mentally detach yourself from the world. The food will make you forget home cooking and above all, the company of the host/hostess that you will get here is above all and nothing less than a family environment to make you feel completely comfortable. We were greeted by Mariah and... More

One thing I remember from our stay at Villa Wastra was a comment from Bob our host expressing his concern that people reading this glowing reviews might think that they had been made up. Well I can say, honestly - it is all true. The warmth and kindness extended by Mariah and Bob to their guests is not just a... More

Villa Wastra is the perfect place to relax away from the bustle of the southern peninsula of Bali. The villa is set back from the road looking over a steep-sided jungle valley and is very peaceful. We spent a day walking around the local villages, meeting the locals who were all very friendly and happy to see us taking an... More

We spent the first three nights of our honeymoon here knowing this was a quiet non-touristy area where we could really relax and recover from our journey! The Endek honeymoon suite was spotless, beautiful and huge, including a private terrace with stunning views of the Balinese jungle. We really enjoyed dinners with our hosts Maria and Bob (an opportunity to... More
