Well I certainly hit the jackpot when I googled “Bali Style Stays Mandurah” My beautiful mum and my sister and I usually go to Bali once a year and stay in a villa, but due to Covid and this year a dodgy knee for mum we were unable to go. Needless to say I now feel like we’ve been!!! Ray and Bob your home is amazing. The ambiance is pure Bali.

Dear Ray, Bob, Millie & Molly, Many thanks for your hospitality. This was truly a very unique experience. We thoroughly enjoyed beautiful and meticulously kept surroundings, pool, spa, gazebo, sauna, gardens, rooms etc. Your attention to detail is second to none. You’ve thought of everything that includes such minor details but made a difference to the experience. We felt like we were your dearest friends who were guests rather than paying guests. We will all be back again for sure. It was an absolute pleasure spending time with you both, getting to know you and the fur babies. Kindest regards, J & J (Perth)

Ray and Bob, Thank you so much for looking after us. What an amazing getaway. So relaxing and just what we needed.

The sounds, fragrances and surrounding are all Bali without the plane and customs wait! But the breakfasts topped it all off, leaving us feeling truly spoiled. Thank you so much.
