Hi Lorraine,
Just wanted to touch base and say a big thank you for the wonderful holiday you organised for us!  You filled the brief perfectly!  Every place was ideal for us and we simply loved every minute of our time in Bali.  We also received your champagne at Temple Lodge which was enjoyed on our final day by the pool.  Paradise!!
 
I will not hesitate to recommend you to everyone I know and will hopefully have a chance to use you again myself very soon!
 
Kindest regards and thanks again,
Kate

“Thanks so much Lorraine for making our first trip to Bali a dream and stress free venture from start to finish. We felt completely at ease and will be in touch with you again to book next year” – Simon & Nicole

Acacia

Hi Jon, thank you so much for recommending such a fabulous property.  The staff, food, room, bed, pool were all fantastic and will be definitely staying there again. Thankyou again for your help in booking my holiday.

Kind regards and thanks...... Cath November 2009

Hi Lorraine,

I know that you are not yet back from Bali yet but I just wanted to say a huge Thank You for our beautiful accommodation at Acacia, we were extremely lucky that you highly recommended it to me.  It was extremely amazing and the pictures on the internet just don't do it justice.  Also the wedding for Gav & Heather was fantastic - all went just so smoothly - thanks to your exceptional organising.  I will keep you posted as to when I have my bubba and let you know what I have in mid-March.  In any case I am pretty sure that we will be returning to Bingin and probably Jabeki with Taj and also the new Bub in about 18 months. 

Take care and once again a huge Thank you.

From the Pregnant One……

Dukes At Bingin

Hi Jon and Lorraine,
Just a quick note to thank you both for organising the accom for our wonderful week away in Bali. We were thrilled with Dukes, it was perfect for our group of 6. The pool was fabulous and we did yoga on the massive lawn. Nyoman and Wayan also made our stay very comfortable, still dreaming of those banana pancakes!


The setting for the wedding was picture perfect, I felt like we were on a movie set it was so unbelievable beautiful!

Already pining after another trip to Bali....

Best Wishes

Micks Place

Hi Lorraine,

I just wanted to say thank you so much for arranging our stay at Micks Place. Me and my friend absolutely fell in love with the place!! I cant believe I’ve never been there before since I love Padang Padang so much and its so close. Ketut and the girls were absolutely beautiful and we ate the BEST food ever.

The Bungalows were exactly what we wanted and we made really good friends with all the other people at the Resort. We are so converted I will stay  there every time I go back – preferably next time with my boyfriend.

The only prob was that we only had 2 nights there. I wont make that mistake again.

Thanks again so much !!

Kind Regards,

Tess

TEMPLE LODGE

Hi Lorraine,

Just thought I'd let you know what a great time we had at Temple Lodge, Bingin.  It really suited us as a family.  The food was fantastic and I've suggested to Christiana that she should do cooking lessons. We liked eating there so much we only went out for dinner a few times. Star Deli & Ye Ye's which were both good. Service was pretty good at Ye Ye's.
The kids settled into doing not much at all. Their hair is green from the swimming pool!  We all managed to have a surf too. Darcy my 11yo surfed Impossibles, Bingin, Padang & Ulu Watu. My daughter Grace & I were able to surf high tide Bingin (tiny swell) and my 4yo didn't mind too much being hugged by the balinese midget at Susie's warung! We saw Kelly Slater and Shane Dorian at Padang one day (before the Tawainese fishing boat go stuck
there) so that was a highlight.
We really enjoyed Mario and Christiana's company and the yoga was a nice way to start the day. So thanks for suggesting this place and we hope to get back there.

Kind Regards,

Anna

JABEKI

Hi Lorraine,
Sorry it has taken a while to write after our first Bali trip. It was such a let down to get back home!!
 
Jabeki was absolutely wonderful and perfect place for Roma and I. Made and Ketut could not do enough to help you, they are a beautiful family, and we felt like we were part of it!
 
Roma and I are keen to go back around the same time next year, are you able to let me know the avails for JAbeki in August 2008??
 
Thanks again for your contribution to Roma and I having the time of our lives in Bali!
 
best regards
Andrew

Hi

Thank you!
Lorraine helped us find a place at sundarams at the last minute as well as a ride from the airport.
We are so grateful!
We really enjoyed our stay there and also appreciated the restaurant recommendations she emailed too!
Will definitely remember to use you for our next bali trip (which we will try to plan for more in advance)!

Thanks,

Hi Lorraine and Rhona,

Just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how happy my girlfriend and I are at Sundarams - thank you so much for booking it for us.
We have been so impressed with everything about Sundarams, the people, the food, the level of service and the accomodation itself.  Sundaram and Riri have been wonderful hosts and have been extremely helpful with all our needs.
The food is so good that we have only gone out to eat once since being here.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you again for booking us here - we will definitely be returning!

regards,
Rianon and Mim

Villa Soma & The Temple Lodge

Dear Lorraine

Thank you for booking our accommodation over the long weekend. We loved both Villa Soma and Temple. We had Villa Soma to ourselves (wasn’t too hot so no pool didn’t matter and private access to beach was priceless) and by the time we went to Cristiana and Temple Lodge we were ready for some company. We also visited Mike’s place – his honeymoon villa is amazing. Your recommendations were spot on. Thank you. I will be telling any of my friends thinking of going to Bali to contact you.

Kind Regards

The Villas Nusa Lembongan

Dear Jon

Firstly, a big thank you for everything.  The accommodation in Bali and Nusa Lembongan was terrific.  The Villas at Nusa Lembongan were excellent particularly after the straw huts we were in on Sumba.  But having said that, Sumba was fantastic in that it was off the beaten track a bit and gave all the boys a taste of how the other half live.

We had no problems with the surfboards although a few were obviously rough handled in transit. 

Kuta has changed heaps in the last 25 or so years.  I was trying to find where I stopped all that time ago and I couldn’t recognize anything.  Certainly the stall owners haven’t changed they’re still as keen as mustard to get you into their shop and sell you just about anything.

We all had a great time away and again thank you for organizing things.

Regards

Michael

Dear Lorraine & Jon,

Sorry it's taken so long to get round to writing to let you know about Bali this year! We had a ball, & as always felt completely at home & so relaxed over there. Your recommendation of Temple Lodge was spot on! We loved Cristiana & Mario, such wonderful hosts, fantastic food & the views & rooms were all so perfect. We can't wait to stay there again. I had yoga classes with Cristiana every day she held them, which was often. The massages every other day, were very professional & got into every sore muscle. Mick had great waves, & had a lot of fun surfing with Mario, he is such a classic character isn't he? We also had the pleasure of meeting another couple, whom you booked accommodation for at Temple this year, & at 'Micks' the year we got married; had a great time hanging out with them at Temple & a few drives into Kuta for dinners at Kori & Ku de Ta. Mick & I also had a great dinner & drinks at Cafe Bali, which we highly recommend. We also went to the Sashimi/sushi dude at Secret Garden, which was amazing, alot of food!

We really loved Acacia Villa, it is so well maintained, great location & we were very well looked after by Ketut & Yuni. Great at massage too! Thank you so much for the late organisation of Tiki House, we loved it too, & the timing was perfect as we were able to have a few more days after extending our trip.

The weather this year was perfect, not a cloudy day or rain.

Will be in touch again, next time we are Bali bound.

Thanks again for all your help,

Tracee & Michael
