Avis The Cove Bali - On the Beach - Private chef, Swimming Pool, Tennis Court

Stunning property with excellent service and communication from host

We chose to stay at The Cove to host our small wedding and what a perfect place it was. The grounds were amazing but what made it truly special was the staff. Esa, the property manager, was always available and made it so easy to do any excursion we wanted. Chef Wayan knocked it out of the park with each and every meal. Her food is truly excellend and she showed us the ins and outs of Indonesian cooking. We cant thank the entire Cove team enough!

This beautiful Villa has it all! So many spots on the property to relax and take in the beautiful ocean. If you are considering this Villa, just do it, you will not regret your sect!!!

Staff very friendly and extremely helpful. Chef prepared meals were fantastic. Location was quite a distance away because of traffic conditions. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend if you want a quiet getaway.

This has to be the most beautiful property I've ever stayed at. We visited with a group of 13 to celebrate after a wedding in Indonesia. Rossella was

This was our second stay at the Cove and it was just as wonderful as we remembered it from two years ago when we got married at this beautiful place. When you step into the Villa a whole new world opens up towards the lush green garden with the sea at the background and the coconut trees reaching up to the sky. From the warm welcome and the smile of the staff to the infinity pool towards the ocean, to the sunset at the private beach, to the most tasty & authentic Indonesian cuisine by Chef Wayan to the seabreeze nights everything was just perfect. We didn't leave the villa as we stayed for 2 nights only but there is plenty to see for day trips and the best thing is you are in a very authentic and quiet part of Bali. The 'real' Bali. The owners of the villa must have had this vision of heaven on earth and created the cove. We would love to stay there again in the future with some friends and family to share the amazing experience. There are plenty of rooms and they are all very unique and beautiful. Thank you!

The Cove is a villa that is perfectly situated in it's own little slice of calm that blocks out much of the chaos of Bali traffic that lies just beyond its walls. We were a family (plus guests) of 10 --four couples and two singles. Although the listing says there is space for 13, I wouldn't recommend going beyond ten unless there were some children. Seating at meals and around the patio were just right for 10. The house is comfortable and clean. The layout of all rooms open up to the spectacular grounds and water. The staff was fabulous, but the highlight was absolutely the chef Wayan! Plan on eating EVERY meal at the house for three reasons: 1. The food was phenomenal 2. the traffic and congestion when leaving the villa was just not worth going out to try a restaurant. 3. the price works out to be very affordable. In planning, you must understand that you need to stock up for your entire stay for items that are not provided (snacks, drinks besides coffee and tea) You CAN get beer at the local "mini-mart", but there is no alcohol or wine, and the drive back into Depensar is at very least 90 minutes to a proper market. I would recommend stopping after airport arrival on the way to the villa. Believe me, no one will want to leave to make a beer run after arrival. The drivers stopped our two vans at a market in the city for us to shop and I don't want to say that we got ripped off, but we did catch a few mistakes when being rung up--an extra case of beer or bottle of liquor. It could have been a natural mistake as we had a large order, but we ended up spending more on drinks and snacks than we did for the entire week of food. I would choose your own market that looks good--we passed several outside of the very chaotic city center that would have been much easier to get in and out of. also get Balian currency--enough to pay chef. The little beach surf village just 5 min away was lovely, but the trash and plastic on the beach really ruins the zen. Unfortunately, it seems to be par for the course on Balian beaches--even in front of the villa. Nonetheless, we visited that beach every day for some nice waves, a beer at the beach bar and FANTASTIC $10 massages right at the bar (not AT the bar but the same building). Definitely do not miss that! You will spend your blissful week at The Cove trying to figure out whether to swim in the perfect pool, take a nap or wander up to see what delicious smell Wayan has coming from the kitchen!

This is authentic Bali -- far from the cheek-to-jowl crowds of the southern tourist areas, you are welcomed as though you were coming back home to family. The property manager (Putu) the chef (Wayan) and the driver (Maddy) simply couldn't do enough to make one feel welcome and to not just attend to but anticipate my requests and preferences in the most friendly and gracious way possible. Pair that up with a near-private beach (itinerant fisherman wander by now and then), a lovely pool, beautiful grounds, sunsets over the ocean framed by palms, and comfortable Balinese-style furnishings, and you'll be elated that you avoided the worst of Bali and found the best!

We stayed 4 nights, the organisation went perfectly. When ever we needed Rossella she was there for us. We had a lot of fun playing tennis! The view was fantastic.
