Good to know

Rumah Elfi, open for guests since mid-July 2024, consists of a two-storey main house with 3 bedrooms, each with air conditioning and ceiling fan and featuring en-suite bathrooms. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor, separated by the open-plan living room with a dining table and cozy chairs. There are additional comfortable seating areas in front of both bedrooms. The master bedroom, with its own large veranda, is situated on the second floor. You will enjoy your time on this veranda and be able to see both the sunrise and the sunset. The large L-shaped swimming pool is located in the beautifully landscaped spacious garden, with a pool deck featuring sun loungers. The pool measures 8x3 meters, with an additional 2x3 meter area for comfortable splashing or sitting, making it a true gem at Rumah Elfi. A separate small house at the end of the garden houses the kitchen, equipped with all amenities including an oven. While making yourself a coffee or preparing a tasty meal, you can enjoy views of the pool and beautiful garden through two large windows that can be fully opened. We provide a small welcome pack of coffee, tea, sugar, and creamer to help you until your first purchase at the supermarket. We recommend renting a scooter – but if that’s not your preference, you can easily rely on services like Gojek or Grab, which not only offer convenient transport but also deliver a wide range of meals right to your door. We’re more than happy to assist you with scooter rental and have it delivered tom Rumah Richard, complete with helmets and a smartphone holder.

Other Details to Note

We currently have a construction site opposite Rumah Elfi, but building in Bali is generally not too noisy, as most work is done by hand. We've lowered Rumah Elfi's price to reflect this, but rest assured, it remains a great place to relax by the pool or use as a base for excursions. As of the middle of December 2024, you may only hear a concrete mixer. It’s hopefully finished by the end of January. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us before making a booking. *** Little offerings for the gods are brought to Rumah Elfi every morning, as is traditional in Bali. Please allow the ladies to enter - it is important for maintaining the very positive atmosphere of the place. *** Our pool attendant, Kadek, visits twice a week - it is essential to provide him access to maintain the pool's beauty. *** Two friendly cats, Susi and Nelly, live next door and may visit Rumah Elfi. They’re curious and sweet, often stopping by to explore or say hello. Their playful presence adds charm, but if you'd prefer they stay outside, please keep the doors closed. They’re harmless and typically return home soon after visiting. *** A large parking area for scooters and/or a car is available in front of the house. *** We are happy to organize an airport transfer with our driver, Kadek, who also specializes in beautiful, entertaining, and exciting day trips. Please let us know if we can organize something for you. Feel free to reach out if you’d like any assistance with scooter rentals. *** Don’t hesitate to contact us anytime with any questions.

We would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful Villa. It has so much character & has a beautiful garden & is right next to the rice fields. The pool is wonderful & there are sun beds to relax on & use. Lovely comfy beds & each bedroom has a bathroom, fan & aircon. Thomas is a wonderful host & we hope to stay here again someday. This place has all the good vibes!

We had a wonderful family stay at this property! The place is very private, surrounded by beautiful padi fields, and is easily accessible by both motorcycle and car. It looks exactly like the photos—traditional, charming, and full of character. We especially enjoyed spending time together swimming, playing in the water, and just relaxing. The host provided detailed instructions for reaching the property, which made getting there very easy. A friendly black cat even greeted us on arrival, adding to the warm and welcoming vibe. The host was very considerate, providing a guidebook with helpful tips on what to do and not to do during our stay. We also appreciated the emphasis on separating organic and non-organic trash, great for the environment! Overall, a memorable and enjoyable stay. Thank you so much for hosting us!

Location

Rumah Elfi is centrally located for all kinds of excursions - Ubud is only about 10 to 15 minutes away by scooter, the east coast (e.g. Sanur) about half an hour, and the west coast (e.g. Seminyak) about 45 minutes, depending on Bali traffic, of course.
