Villa Koi

Villa Koi is beautifully decorated and provides a very peaceful setting from which to explore real Bali. The host was extremely kind and helpful. The beach and restaurants are in walking distance. Day trips can easily be arranged to places of great beauty and interest. The volcano and lake batur at kintomani and the Jatiluwih rice terraces are very worthy of a visit.

Warm welcome from Robert his dogs Hobo and Rusty.

Nothing to dislike , Robert would go out of his way to make your stay comfortable.

The serenity of the place is magnificent. Sitting on the veranda facing a beautiful garden, a Koi pond and Robert’s (the owner) juglo painting studio is lovely. Beach is very close and local restaurants in the close neighbourhood to visit or to deliver to Villa.

Lovely villa with all that you need located at Saba Beach. Morning and afternoon walks along the beach is a must. Predominately Saba is a place where you meet and interact with the local community. a good place for more genuine experience of Bali life. Easy to get to day trips to Ubud and Sanur. Friendly staff and Hobo the dog ;-). Host Robert Walker is a gentleman.

All was aligned with our expectations

What a completely unexpected joy it was to find Villa Koi! We were in Saba for a friend's wedding and this apartment had the bonus of being 5 minutes' walk from the venue but it was so much more than we could have hoped for in terms of comfort and experience. From the first meeting with Robert our host and his beautiful dog Hobo, we felt instantly welcome and at ease, with his welcome gift of snacks, drinks, and a fresh slice of cake in the fridge a lovely touch especially after a long journey. The villa itself was so well decorated and full of beautiful furniture, ceramics, and of course art works painted by our talented host - it was a completely relaxing and inspiring place to rest for a few days and just soak in the atmosphere and the Balinese way of life. Saba itself is very quiet but this just added to the appeal - we really felt we were seeing a more authentic area and getting a feel for a very different type of Bali we'd seen in some of the other areas on our trip, and we loved the quieter pace for a few nights. Robert was an incredible host, always going out of his way to help us and provide us tips for the local area and we are very grateful to have met him and Hobo - it really was the highlight of our 2.5 weeks in Bali and we would come back to stay at Villa Koi and with Hobo and Robert in an instant. Thank you so much!

Absolutely nothing - it was perfection!

Beautiful Villa, surrounded by a lovely garden full of antiques and art. The Villa has everything you can imagine ( including the largest most stunning bathroom I’ve ever seen) and a really comfortable huge bed. Robert as a host goes above and beyond to make you feel right at home and is so kind and generous. The plunge Jacuzzi pool is a great and completely private. Then there is Hobo, Robert’s dog. The sweetest most gentle dog who’s always happy to see you. Across the road is a riding stable who offer private rides on the beach, for all abilities and was a real thrill. Just down the road a 5 minute walk is a small turtle sanctuary also a must to visit.

This villa is an amazing place, and Mr. Robert, the host, is an absolute gem. From the start, he greeted us with a warm and welcoming attitude and left a large Bintang and a delicious cake in our room. The room itself was huge with lots of his art and other artifacts around making it warm and inviting. It has a huge ensuite with a large stone bath tub and shower which is semi-outdoor. And, the outdoor plunge pool/jacuzzi was very private and we used this a lot. Mr. Robert said we could use the large main pool if we wanted but never did. The location is a bit remote (which I liked) but may not be for everyone. There are plenty of restaurants that are short scooter ride away and they all deliver for a small fee. Hobo, the dog is a little legend. By the end of our stay he was following us around and protecting us when we walked out the gate and greeting us on return. The whole stay there was amazing and would highly recommend it to any one wanting a relaxing time in a beautiful setting.

Great host, very helpful with information about the area. The villa is great too. Great location if you like peace and quiet.

Villa Koi exceeded my expectations in all aspects. Beautifully appointed and very spacious; a quiet location in a beautiful garden beside a Koi pond. It has a private jacuzzi plunge pool which is a treat! It is a short palm tree lined stroll to a stunning beach overlooked by Mt Agung. The beach mostly visited by friendly locals, families and fishermen. Happily uncluttered by tourists. Stunning views. The gracious owner and artist, Robert, is a discreet but kindly presence; happy to oblige with any requests. His beautiful paintings are seen throughout the property. Some can be purchased and I could not resist two of them. He has two lovely, friendly dogs, Hobo and Jack, who keep vigil but are not intrusive. I felt pampered and privileged. I am now back home in Australia feeling totally 'renewed'. I will happily revisit.
