I’m an Australian passport holder, but really, I’m more of a global citizen with a suitcase permanently on standby. I’ve travelled far and wide, stayed in every kind of short-stay property you can imagine (from charming jungle huts to quirky city lofts), and made it my mission to borrow the best ideas from each. These days, I manage over 24 properties in Australia and 15 in beautiful Bali — think of me as part hospitality expert, part travel enthusiast, and part unofficial cocktail taster. Fun-loving and always up for good conversation, happy to toast the sunset with guests while swapping travel stories (and a few secrets I can’t put in writing). In short — I take hospitality seriously, but never myself.

Welcome to Jungle River Villa — a soulful riverside escape tucked into the lush forests near Ubud. Designed for privacy, tranquility, and connection with nature, this unique property includes 5 standalone bungalows, each with queen-sized beds, ensuite bathrooms, and private kitchenettes. Ideal for retreats, families, or a group of friends, the villa sleeps up to 10 guests comfortably. Wake up to birdsong, spend the day tubing down the nearby river, explore sacred temples, or simply relax by the infinity pool with the jungle canopy overhead. Whether you're hosting a yoga retreat, celebrating with friends, or just seeking a peaceful stay, this villa offers the best of wild Bali — with modern comforts.

This adds to the sense of retreat and privacy but may not be ideal for guests with mobility concerns. As you’re fully surrounded by nature, you might share your stay with some of Bali’s wildlife. A spider may weave a web here and there, but they’re non-threatening and part of the jungle rhythm. It’s raw, real, and alive — just like the best memories you'll take home.
