  4 Ladies had a lovely break any small issues we encounted were immediatley taken care of by Caroline,Katuk and her staff. The Villa is as per the pictures supplied . We were picked up at the airport by our driver for the 11 days Ningah not sure how to spell let alone say so we gave him an aussie name NED !! On arrival at the villa we were a little daunted that we drove down this very rough track to the villa's and that the gates didn't lock being 4 ladies on there own !! and considering a couple of little shantys outside we were a bit concerned about leaving all our stuff with access after the first couple of days we didn't worry any more as Caroline has security on the villa's. We were also given some little extra's to compensate for the building work happening across the path. The only issue that we found that couldn't be resolved was that WE assumed that the shared bathroom would be easily accessible by both bedrooms when in fact the bathroom is in one of the bedrooms. There is a powder room down stairs which one of the ladies used during the night. Overall the staff were wonderful breakfast was always on time. We aslo had a few meal at the villa which were great giving Katuk the money for groceries for what we wanted and 10,000 rupiah about $1 for fuel was a great bargain. Our driver NED was available 8 hrs a day free petrol included after the 8 hrs we paid approx $5 an hr. There is a number of good restaurants about 250m away on the beach the local hotel has great food really cold beer and a great place to visit on Sunday afternoons with a live band. A new beauty shop has just opened behind the hotel and while a little bit more expensive are handy and easy to get to. The pool at the villa was lovely and we enjoyed many wines & beers while sitting in it. Ubud is probably our most favourite place to visit with many beautiful restaurants and plenty of shopping. Caroline gave us a lot of info for massages and facials which was wonderful "Cool Spa" Seminyak was our final choice and just across the road is a wonderful coffee shop. Great experience. The last 2 days we had a lot of rain and the villa had a leak in the roof Caroline & Katuk moved us to another beautiful Villa in the Paddy fields about 10 minutes away and compenstated us with a beautiful dinner. Caroline and her staff are very proffessional and couldn't have been more helpful. Look forward to visiting again soon.

  Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, age 55+, families with teenagers.

  My wife and i have been coming to Bali for 15 years. It's taken us this long to experience the joy & pleasure of having our own villa. We loved it. To be totally honest, we felt a little guilty coming all the way from Australia to visit and enjoy all that Bali has to offer, and we hardly left our own surrounds. The kids swam in the pool all day, every day under our supervision. We ordered food from the villa menu, as well as, the restaurants in the immediate vicinity . On the times we did venture out, we had a wonderful driver who took us to the spots and sights we wanted to see. I can't recommend this holiday experience enough. Villa Echo Beach sits back approx 250 - 300 metres from a little hot spot called Echo Beach. Where you'll find assorted restaurants and warungs. Plenty to eat & drink and watch the surfers go wild. We cant wait to return. A big thumbs up!!!

  Echo beach is away from the craziness of Kuta and Legian but comes with a fantastic driver (ours was Jana) to take you wherever you want to go. The surk at Echo beach was big and consistent. At least 4 breaks to choose from. Chris was brilliant and set us up with boards since we couldn't bring our own. The down side was the construction near by, but they started late and ended early, so not a problem. Our 3 kids loved the pool although it was in shade all day, and quite cold. The furniture in our 4 bedroom unit was beautiful, beds were comfy and any issue, question or problem that came up was taken care of in a flash. Staff was top notch! Katut, the chef, was excellent! This was a fantastic vacation, we could not have been happier! Thanks so much Caroline & Chris!

  We stayed in a 3br villa and could not possibly have asked for more wonderful staff. Our driver Made (sorry if not spelt correctly) was a real character sharing many stories with us. We met his wife and sons having a wonderful and memorable evening with them. Any concerns ( very few!!) were always addressed promptly and always with a smile. My husband who is not keen on the hustle and bustle of Bali is planning to come back again. This says a lot for the quality of both the villa and staff.
