Guest House - Stepping stones lead across the immaculate flat lawn to the Guest House a single-storey, self-contained cottage, situated on the far side of the pool, and home to Bedroom No 3 and Bedroom No 4. Both of the bedrooms feature soaring roofs, cool marble floors and sliding glass doors on two sides. Both are furnished with queen-size beds complete with mosquito nets. The rooms are adorned with attractive artefacts including silk wall hangings and glass lamps; both are equipped with air-conditioning, ceiling fans and safe deposit boxes. One bedroom is complemented by a walk-in wardrobe. The bedrooms share a garden bathroom with a stone pebbled floor and a large open-air bathtub, which is protected from the elements by the eaves of the roof. There is also a shower cubicle, a washbasin and a toilet. The cottage is bordered by a colonial-style timber-floored verandah, its roof supported by coconut wood pillars. This is a lovely spot for relaxing with a book; it overlooks the garden and pool and is furnished with chairs. Living & Dining Pavilion - The open-air Living and Dining Pavilion features a soaring roof lined with split bamboo, above a polished teak floor bordered by white Palimanan stone. Cooled by natural breezes and ceiling fans, this large room is the focal point of the villa; it opens directly onto the pool deck, providing an easy transition from indoors to out, and bamboo blinds can be dropped for privacy and shade. The style is both eclectic and funky, showcasing antique furnishings, enchanting Indonesian artefacts, tribal masks and local artwork. Two comfortable daybeds and a chunky coffee table are positioned at one end of the room, where there is also a TV, DVD and quality sound system housed within an antique wooden cabinet. With views of the beautiful garden, this is a lovely spot for relaxing; the owners of the villa have thoughtfully provided an ample collection of magazines, books, games, DVDs and music CDs. The centre of the pavilion is furnished with low, circular table, inlaid with polished coconut shell. Surrounded by four low leather chairs and cushions, this can be used for dining, socialising or playing cards and board games. A formal dining table for eight is positioned at the far end of the pavilion next to the Kitchen. A striking feature is the carved Palimanan stone frieze, which depicts a scene from the five-thousand-year-old Hindu epic, the Mahabaharata, a tale of intrigue and conflict among kings, demons, gods and sages.
Pool & Garden - The 16-metre, freeform, infinity-edge swimming pool, with its eye-catching shape, emphasizes the minimalist features of the villa. It incorporates a circular childrens pool at one end, and four sunloungers rest upon the timber deck. At one end of the pool is an elevated bale an open-sided relaxation pavilion housing a massage bed and a massage chair. Here, guests can enjoy traditional massages performed by skilled, professional massage therapists. The tranquil ambience is enhanced by the soothing sounds of water bubbling over ornamental pots in the encompassing lotus ponds. A hammock is positioned in the garden at one corner of the living and dining pavilion beside the pool, and there is also an outdoor pool shower. The Maharaj is blessed with an enchanting garden. There are two lotus ponds, one of which is bridged by the pool deck and guarded by a serene Buddha statue. The beautiful flowering trees in the garden include gnarled frangipanis, pink pohon kupu kupu, and red dadap merah.
