The following is a more detailed description of the facilities at
Villa Natalie.
The Living room comprises an LCD TV, Pioneer DVD surround
system, Astro Satellite Receiver and an XBox Media Centre with a
collection of over 20,000 MP3's, movies and games. Broadband/WIFI internet is available and 3G reception is good. The seating in this area can
comfortably host groups of up to 12. Storm blinds are provided
around this area in case of bad weather.
The Dining area seats parties of up to 12 people and is separated by a
large, solid wood, counter top with bar stools looking into the
kitchen. There are two kitchens at the Villa, one for the guests and
one for the staff. The guest kitchen offers full size
fridge/freezer, gas hobs, high end rotisserie oven and a very
comprehensive set of crockery and utensils for guest use. The staff
kitchen is where they prepare your meals and a professionally
trained chef is available upon request (although he's never been called upon as Ketut's cooking is so good!).
Our staff is comprised of 3
housemaids, 3 security, a gardener and our manager. The housemaids, Katut, Iluh and Made,
provide a light breakfast of fruit, toast, jams and tea/coffee every
morning (or more if you ask!) and can also prepare lunch and dinner upon request. A menu
of their specialties is at the Villa. They will also shop for you ahead of, and during, your stay.
Naturally great restaurants catering
for every taste are 20 minutes away in Seminyak/Oberoi but if you can't be bothered to move then a lot of them deliver to our door. Villa Natalie
provides return airport transfer included in the price, but charges
separately for our car and driver (basis 8 hours per day - no later than 1am return). Please
advise in advance if you require his services. The
charge for this is USD50 per day for the car and driver.
The bedrooms suites are arranged with an American King
size bed in the bedroom and soft furnishings in the adjacent living
room. Should you require additional bedding in the adjacent living area then
please advise when booking. A baby cot is also available at the
Villa but if you need more specific baby gear then contact Gabi at www.balibaby.com and they'll deliver to our door for when you arrive. The dressing rooms have full length mirrors, ample hanging
and stacking space and two safe deposit boxes.
Meandering through into the bathrooms you'll first find twin
vanity sinks with a central storage area. The shower area contains
twin mixer showers looking out to the private bathroom gardens,
bathroom one equipped with a bath made for two and bathroom two with
a waterfall shower. Naturally all towels, for the bathroom, poolside and beach are provided.
In the middle of 2008 we completed our 'lumbung' room. Located
above the entrance area it contains twin beds and has spectacular
views down over the padi fields towards the sea. It is often used to
accommodate staff that our guests may bring, but has been used to
house additional guests in a party or the teenage kids who love their space. It does not have separate aircon,
but is wonderfully breezy and has ceiling fan and what's been called
the most spectacular views from the property.

Outdoor and poolside areas are also furnished with a variety of
sunbeds, love seats and so on. Our infinity edge pool is suitable for
younger, supervised, children with steps at 30cm intervals down into
the deep area - which bottoms out at 180cm. We also have a pool fence that can be installed upon request to protect the exposed side of the waters edge. The pool 'water feature'
provides fresh spring water feed all day - a refreshing touch in a
pool that's bathed in sun from 7am to sunset and the pool itself is balanced with a special 'low chlorine' treatment system.
New for 2010 is our riverside garden area. This additional 5,000 square foot garden area fronts directly onto the rice fields and contains our massage and dining Bale - perfect for 'getting away from getting away from it all!'.
