We found Murni's via TripAdvisor reviews, and we're looking for a suitable base to then venture out and see the sights this part of Bali has to offer. Prior to our arrival, we had email communications with Murni who offered to help with all the nitty gritty, from organising a driver to collect us from the airport, to arranging trips for during our stay. This was very helpful, and any question I had was answered without any fuss. Upon arrival we came straight to our room which was exceptional for a family of 4, with a generous living area and two large bedrooms each with ensuite and balcony. The grounds are beautiful and the staff are beyond incredible, they want to help in any way they can. The property is close to the main road in Ubud, but somehow there is very little unsavoury noise, just wildlife and the sound of flowing water. Nearby are many shops, market stalls and a good walk to the monkey forest, and Campuhan Ridge is just a few minutes walk away. It's worth noting that the main road is extremely busy throughout the day, and navigating it can be tricky, but that doesn't reflect on this accommodation as its the same everywhere. There is a pool which the kids have enjoyed, although it's in a quiet shaded spot so not what the kids have been used to in the past - despite this they've still had a great time using it. The spa is outstanding, on our first day I had an express massage which was 45 minutes, and honestly it was the best I've ever had at an extremely reasonable price. And down the road, Murni's Warung - which I'll write a separate review for at some point- is quite simply incredible. Our family had 4 different main courses last night and each of them were as exceptional as the other. Overall, I'd highly recommend this as a great place to spend your first days in Bali, and luckily we still have 3 more nights here to go!
