Bennu House is a chance to stay in a truly unique and artistic home.
Featured in the beautiful home design book "Seen and Unseen".
We are set amidst stunning rice terraces in one of the most desirable areas just 7 minutes by scooter from Ubud center.

The space
Our home has been creatively repurposed from a century-old teak Javanese Joglo.
Lovingly restored piece by piece using all the original wood, doors, panels, and a majestic vaulted thatched roof.
Fusing old charm with a modern flair the home has complete folding doors throughout to open and naturally integrate with the tropical environment. You can feel the rhythms of the day and the delightful breezes through the house from across the paddies.
Each small detail has been tastefully and artfully thought out with a sensitivity to 'less is more'.
The feeling is grand yet intimate with oodles of poetic, stylish twists.

Hand-polished concrete surfaces, antique vintage furnishings, heritage tiles, river stones, and all-natural and local handcrafted materials are used. Original artwork and hand-selected crafts.
There is an extra high canopy over your mattress and high-quality linen, handmade ceramics, and kitchenware.

Guests love our enchanting outdoor shower under the flowering frangipani tree.
Breakfast and sunset drinks can be enjoyed on the deck to the sights and sounds of birds, butterflies, fireflies, and natural fauna.
We hope you will be seduced like so many of our lovely guests to stay home a little more and relax to appreciate the finer aspects of life in Bali.
Please check all our fabulous guests' reviews to see how happy we are to host you.

Please note:

The home does NOT have Aircon. The design of the house creates a natural airflow and coolness.
There are room fans to use at your convenience.
Also please remember that you are in the rice paddies with all the delights that it offers.
This means the sight and sound of frogs, geckos, ducks, and birds.
Being close to nature means you will see these delightful beings in and around the property. Please be happy to encounter them occasionally if you choose our beautiful home.

We genuinely love what we do and are committed to giving you the most sincere and warm service in our sweet and elegant surroundings.

The well-known architect also helped built our other 2 incredible homes. Please take a peep and be tempted.

Neighborhood highlights

We are located in the middle working rice fields . You can take a walk down to the village to explore the area and seeing the farmers working on their land . There are a couple of resorts located within 15-20 walking distance from the property . Our area Pejeng becomes one of the most desirable locations in Ubud since there are so many expatriates who live in Ubud building their houses in this area due to its serenity yet not far from the center of town .

My name is Made, 38 years old Balinese based in Ubud. I have been hosting thousands of travellers across the globe on Airbnb since August 2014. I really enjoy meeting new people and sharing stories with them. My love for architecture and Balinese culture has given a lot of inspiration to my work in creating beauty. I Speak Balinese , Indonesian, English & French. Being born in an artist family makes me realise that there is so much to explore and I am forever grateful for being surrounded by beautiful nature and people. I grew up to appreciate beauty in little things around me and I would love to share it with you.
