Bali's 10-BR Wooden Dream House: Unbelievable Ocean Views! (IR117A)
Bali's 10-BR Wooden Dream House: Unbelievable Ocean Views! (IR117A) - The Unfiltered Truth (and Why You NEED to Book It)
Okay, folks, let's cut the crap. You're looking at a dream trip to Bali, right? You’ve seen the influencers with their perfect tans and perfectly-staged photos. Well, I'm here to tell you what REALLY happened when I stayed at Bali's 10-BR Wooden Dream House (IR117A). And trust me, it's even better than the Insta-glamour portrays.
First off, accessibility. Now, I didn't arrive in a wheelchair (thank goodness!), but I did spend a good chunk of my trip nursing a dodgy knee after a particularly enthusiastic surfing session. The good news? Getting around the property was surprisingly easy. There's a lot of open space, thankfully a lot of stairs weren’t terribly steep, which saved me from hobbling like a pensioner on the way back from the fridge (vital when you have a fridge stocked with Bintang!). I didn’t see any specific mention of wheelchair accessibility in the listing, but a lot of the common areas at least seemed potentially navigable. But definitely double-check with the property if accessibility is a major concern.
Then there's the internet. Free Wi-Fi everywhere! The whole shebang. I’m all about staying connected – I need that Instagram validation, you know? – and the internet… well, it was Bali internet. Sometimes screaming fast, perfect for streaming movies in my room with the amazing air conditioning, other times, a little… patchy. But honestly, who cares? You’re in paradise, right? Just embrace the digital detox when it crashes. And hey, they DO have Internet [LAN] in rooms – for those nerds who still like plugging in.
Cleanliness and safety, especially after the whole… pandemic… situation, are paramount. This place REALLY impressed. Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. They even offer a room sanitization opt-out if you're weirdly attached to the germs. I saw staff wiping down everything constantly – the handrails, tables, even the damn leaves on the plants looked suspiciously shiny. They’ve got a doctor/nurse on call, first aid kit, and hand sanitizer everywhere. Plus, the emphasis on physical distancing felt reassuring without being suffocating. The staff were all masked up too, even at the 24-hour front desk.
Now, for the fun stuff. Things to do, ways to relax… Buckle up, buttercups. This place is a haven.
- The Pool with a View: The photos don't do it justice. Seriously. Floating in that infinity pool, overlooking the ocean… it's pure bliss. I spent a solid afternoon just staring out at the waves, contemplating the meaning of life (or, you know, what flavour smoothie to order next from the poolside bar).
- Spa/Sauna/Massage: Yeah, yeah, the usual suspects. But the spa was actually amazing. I got a massage (naturally) and a body scrub that left my skin feeling like a newborn baby's bottom. They also have a steam room and foot bath. Honestly, I was practically a puddle of Zen when I left.
- Fitness Center, Gym/Fitness: I saw them. Didn’t use them. Bali is my gym. So many stairs, so much walking. So much… Bintang! (Priorities, people.)
- Breakfast in Room: Okay, so, here’s a confession. I’m not always a morning person. Waking up to a tray laden with Indonesian breakfast in my room? Pure decadence. The breakfast takeaway service and the room service [24-hour]? Game changers. The Asian breakfast was a MUST, as was the coffee/tea in restaurant.
Dining, drinking, and snacking: Oh, my sweet, starving soul. Prepare to gain a kilo… or five.
- Restaurants: Loads of options. A la carte in restaurant?, Asian cuisine in restaurant?, International cuisine in restaurant? all yes. They even had a surprisingly decent vegetarian restaurant which my (very picky) friend adored. The buffet in restaurant? Solid. And there was a Poolside bar that was constantly tempting me, and they even had a happy hour!
- Snack bar: Oh, that snack bar lured me in during the middle of the day, and the lure was strong.
- Desserts in restaurant: I could eat the entire dessert cart without a hint of regret.
- Bars: You can grab a drink a many different places on site.
Services and conveniences: This is where this place really shines.
- Cashless payment service: This is a definite benefit.
- Concierge: Super helpful. They booked me surfing lessons (which, as I mentioned, didn't go perfectly), arranged scooters, and basically saved my uncoordinated ass a few times.
- Daily housekeeping: My room was spotless every single day. It was like magic.
- Food delivery: Crucial for those nights when you just want to slob out in your robe and watch movies.
- Laundry service: Because no one wants to do laundry on vacation.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always a good idea. You should be paranoid.
- Air conditioning in public area?: Yep, it’s a Bali must!
- Front desk [24-hour]: Essential!
- Invoice provided: Nice for the business traveler.
For the kids: I didn't have kids with me, but the whole place seemed incredibly family-friendly. Kids facilities for sure!
Getting around:

- Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site]: Handy if you want to rent a car. I'd recommend scooters though. Just be careful!

The Quirks & Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real):
- The staff, bless their hearts, are incredibly polite. It's almost too polite sometimes. It can take a few extra minutes to iron out a request, but hey, you're on island time! Relax! Enjoy the ambiance!
- The walk to the beach, while scenic, is a little… steep. Especially after a few Bintangs. But hey, it's good exercise!
- You might hear some noise from the other guests. (They were loud when they were very happy)
My Verdict?
This place is incredible. It's luxurious but not stuffy, beautiful but not pretentious. It’s perfect for a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a solo adventure (like mine). You’re going to feel pampered, relaxed, and probably slightly sunburnt. And you'll be posting Instagram stories that will make all your friends jealous.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's itinerary. We're talking Bali, "Wooden House 10 BR Amazing View IR117A" (which, let's be real, sounds like the name of a dystopian sci-fi villain's lair, but hey, it has an amazing view), and me. Prepare for the beautiful, the chaotic, and the utterly unpredictable. This is… my Bali trip.
Day 1: Arrival & Oh. My. God. Views.
- Morning (6:00 AM - 12:00 PM): The journey from the airport? Forget about it. I'm a travel agent, so I've already been there. This is only a day schedule. After a long drive, the drive was a nightmare: clogged roads, screaming scooters weaving like caffeinated cobras, the air thick with exhaust and the scent of frangipani. Finally, we arrived at the "Amazing View" villa. And honestly? The view? The gods themselves must've designed it. Pure, unadulterated, jaw-dropping beauty. You know that feeling when your soul sighs? Yeah, that.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Unpack. This is when the utter mess would begin, and that's just the way I like it. Found a stray ant already. (Cue the internal anxiety). Found the pool. Fell in love with the pool. Decided I was going to be a mermaid for the rest of the trip. (Spoiler alert: didn't happen, but it's the intention that counts, right?)
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): Sunset cocktails. Because, obviously. Sat on the balcony, sipped something tropical (forget the name, but it was sparkly and involved a tiny umbrella), watched the sun bleed into the horizon. My inner monologue: "Yep, I'm never leaving this balcony. This is it. This is the life." Drank too much, stumbled back inside. Ordered room service. It arrived like a plate of food from heaven.
Day 2: Rice Terraces & Questionable Monkey Encounters.
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Okay, tourist time. Tegallalang Rice Terraces, here we come! Booked a driver. The drive was surprisingly smooth? (I'm suspicious). Reached the terraced rice paddies… and I'm officially in awe. Seriously, it's like a green, living artwork. Spent way too long taking photos, trying (and failing) to capture the sheer scale of the place. Bought a ridiculous straw hat. Completely worth it.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Monkey Forest Sanctuary! Everyone raves about it, right? Full of monkeys. Okay. A lot of monkeys. They're cute… from a distance. One jumped on my shoulder, and I screamed like a banshee. It stole my sunglasses. My precious sunglasses. I may have shed a tear. The monkeys, on the other hand, were unfazed. Still, it was a memorable experience… maybe too memorable.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): A massage. Needed it after the monkey incident. Found a little spa place where the masseuse practically melted my muscles. Pure bliss. Dinner at a warung (a local restaurant). Ate way too much nasi goreng. Regretted nothing.
Day 3: Beach Bumming & Unexpected Tears.
- Morning (8:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Beach day! Seminyak Beach to be exact. Sunscreen, towel, book. Check, check, check. The sand was warm between my toes. The ocean was the perfect, dreamy turquoise. Spent the morning lounging, reading, occasionally dozing. Found myself thinking, "This is what happiness feels like."
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Beach bumming, continued. Watched the surfers. Tried to surf. (Spoiler alert: I failed spectacularly). Found a beachside cafe. Ordered the freshest seafood I have ever tasted. Conversation with a local -- made me think about how lucky I am.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): Okay, this is where things get weird. I went to a Balinese dance performance. The music, the costumes, the stories – it was all so incredibly moving. Then the dancers started to cry as part of the performance, and I swear that I couldn't even have controlled the tears. The raw, genuine emotion? It just undid me. I walked back to the villa with tears streaming down my face, feeling both utterly ridiculous and profoundly touched. (I'm not going to lie, I ended up eating instant noodles and watching trashy reality TV to try and pull myself out of it. Don't judge me.)
Day 4: Cooking Class, Cultural Immersion, and a Complete Food Coma.
- Morning (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Cooking class! Always wanted to learn how to cook Balinese food. And I did! The chef was a lovely, patient woman who somehow managed to teach me how to make satay and gado-gado without me accidentally setting the kitchen on fire. Learnt about which spices can be used when and how to do it.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Lunch, and a food coma. Ate everything I cooked. Was so full. Thought about taking a nap, but…
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): Then walked into a temple. Walked around, and was very still. Sat and watched the stars. Was so utterly and completely grateful. Then, back to the villa. Ordered pizza. (Because, you know, balance.)
Day 5: Departure… and the Questionable Return.
- Morning (7:00 AM - 12:00 PM): Woke up feeling completely and utterly relaxed. Did a final swim in the pool. Said goodbye to the view that had stolen my heart. Packed. Dreaded the inevitable departure.
- Afternoon (12:00 PM - 5:00 PM): The drive to the airport. The same clogged roads, the same screaming scooters, the same air thick with exhaust. But this time, it didn't bother me as much. I was already missing Bali. Thinking about the next trip.
- Evening (5:00 PM - Late): Plane. Departure. The long, long flight home. Already planning my return. Because let's face it, Bali might not always be perfect, but it’s… well, it’s like therapy, but with amazing views and monkeys. And I am so, so ready to go back. And I'm already planning my return. Maybe I'll even learn to surf next time. (Or at least, not scream quite so loudly at the monkeys.)
Okay, so... What *is* this "thing" we're talking about, anyway? Like, the BIG idea?
If it's everything, then how do I actually *do* it? Like, what's the user manual? Because I *lost* mine.
Okay, so what about *achievements*? Like, are there any? Do I get a gold star for surviving a particularly grueling grocery shopping trip?
What about... *failure*? I'm really good at that. Like, a *professional*-level failure.
But… what if I’m *lonely*? What if I feel utterly, completely and utterly alone in all of this?
Okay, so, what about the *good* stuff? Give me something uplifting here! I need a ray of sunshine!
What about, you know, *meaning*? That whole "what's the point" thing?
