morning tea or afternoon cocktails.
The Bali Room is furnished with a

Entrance
The villa is approached via a private driveway with a secure car
parking area.
Two Chinese welcome statues guard the entrance beside a set of
double Balinese doors, which open to reveal a covered walkway
with a pitched roof, ensuring that there is no danger of getting wet
during the rainy season.
The walkway circumvents a lotus pond complete with a bubbling
water feature in its centre.
Kitchen
Unlike many villas in Bali, where the kitchen is tucked away
at the back of the property, the large and immaculate open kitchen at Villa
Mako is a feature in itself, situated on one side of the
lotus pond.
Cream terrazzo work surfaces are flanked
by well-stocked glass-fronted cupboards full of sparkling tableware.
The kitchen is fully equipped with a sizeable refrigerator,
an oven with a large gas hob, and everything else
that the staff will need to create delicious meals.
Wayan is an excellent cook; a menu is
provided showing the dishes that she can prepare, and she is also very
happy to work with other recipes and ingredients.
Breakfast area
To one side of the kitchen, overlooking the lotus pond is a
breakfast area.
Javanese-style glass lanterns hang from the ceiling, together
with paddle fans.
The circular marble-topped breakfast table is
flanked by six chairs with brightly coloured yellow green and
orange cushions matched by a decorative panel on the wall.
A guest washroom is located next door.
Media Room
Bordering the lotus pond is a cosy media room, reminiscent of
a wooden chalet, and furnished with an oversized sofa with deep
cushions in gorgeous shades of green, turquoise and orange.
Colourful artwork adorns the walls, and there is also a
sofa-bed, a leather lazy rocking chair, a double-decker coffee table,
some attractive lamps, shelf units, and a leather woven mat on the floor.
The room is built around four recycled timber pillars that
support the roof.
Folding doors open directly on to the lotus pond, so that the
pavilion appears to float.
Guests can relax in air conditioned comfort or they can open
the doors wide and be cooled by ceiling fans and natural breezes.
The Media room is equipped with
- TV
- DVD/CD players
- Dial-up Internet access
A small Vaio laptop computer has been
installed for those who would rather not bring their own.
The high quality sound system is linked to
speakers all around the villa, or alternatively music can simply be
contained within the media room.
There is a connection to the amp for those who want to listen
to music stored on their personal iPods or laptops.
Main Hall
The central focus of the villa is the magnificent main hall,
an expansive living and dining area with folding doors on either side
that open wide to allow the cool breezes to circulate.
The soaring roof in this splendid pavilion is 8.5
metres high, and supports paddle ceiling fans.
The hall is furnished with a formal teak dining
table that comfortably seats ten and is lit by pendulous
globe-shaped lanterns.
Traditional Indonesian artefacts are displayed on wall
shelves, while chairs and a huge daybed, complete with an abundance of
cushions, is positioned around a funky coffee table.
Lamp-stands in the form of wooden Javanese statues, together
with a huge, crystal wall mirror, complete the picture
of luxury.
Folding doors composed of wood and glass open onto a sunny
Batu Yogya stone terrace, which doubles the living space of the hall
making it a perfect venue for parties.
