Teras Sungai Villa - Ubud Bali
Enjoy complete privacy at this rare stand alone villa, within 5 minutes walk of Ubud village. (The vast majority of villas in Ubud are either part of a complex, or if they are stand alone, are miles out in the rice fields.)

Stay with us
Our staff prepare your breakfast, provide housekeeping, gardening and pool cleaning services. Teras Sungai can accommodate up to 4 people. Escape the rat-race and experience Bali style open-air pavilion living with modern comforts.

We are a privately owned villa with a pool, designed by an Australian architect, a specialist in tropical architecture. Situated above a river, there are three separate living pavilions, one for dining, one for relaxing by the pool, and placed up high to catch the cool breeze, another for sleeping.

For short-term stays, breakfast is included in the tariff. For an additional charge other services can be provided such as a personal driver, tours, local information and bookings to events.

Teras Sungai has two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed and own bathroom, and can accommodate up to two couples.

Current LOW SEASON tarifs - please note prices are per room, two persons maximum per room.

One room    - $AUD 140 per night
Two Rooms  - $AUD 200 per night (this ensures exclusive use of the villa)

Three Monkeys Cafe in Monkey Forest Road looks onto a pretty little ricefield at the back. A peaceful respite from the madness of the road. http://www.ubud.com/resto/resto.php?resto_ID=59&page=1

For real home style Balinese family cooking at ridiculously cheap prices, visit Roda Cafe in Jalan Kajeng, known as Graffiti Street. It's on the right-hand side, above a wonderful gallery called Threads of Life, which is devoted to saving the textile arts of Indonesia. Well worth a visit. http://www.threadsoflife.com/mainstoreubud.asp

If you want to see the full range of textiles, crafts etc available, a good place to do this in relative comfort is the gallery/shop owned by Casa Luna. If you walk down to the lower level of the restaurant, you can walk across and enter directly.
There are so many restaurants in Ubud with a wide range of cuisines and prices, I'm sure you'll find new favorites of your own. You can walk to many of these places, but to go to the other end of Ubud village we usually get transport to go, and then walk back visiting the shops and cafes along the way.

Transport is readily available, either from Jalan Bisma in front of Tri Nadi Salon, or by walking down to the main street.

A WORD ABOUT THE SHOWER - The pressure comes from a cold water header tank, so wait a minute for the hot water to come through, and then add pressure and volume. Any problems, ask the staff. They are happy to help you with anything.
If you'd like complete privacy, feel free to ask them to go home after completing their daily duties.

We wish you a relaxing, peaceful holiday at Teras Sungai.

Taxes and Tipping
No additional charges apply. Our staff are there to please, so do not feel required to tip them for their normal duties. However, tipping is welcome for extra personal services, or if you wish to show your appreciation at the end of your stay.
