Bijoux House Antique Carved Teak

Maison magnifique, petite et colorée comme une maison de poupée, posée au milieu d'une rizière. Autant dire que l'on s'endort bercé par le chant des grenouilles et autre forme de vie nocturne. Parfaitement situé dans le charmant quartier d'artistes qu'est Penestanan, on trouve à quelques pas le restaurant Yellow Flower (bio et romantique) et à peine plus loin le warung Lala & Lily (typique et pas cher).
A refaire!

Bijoux House is made with art and love and a really enchanting and special place to stay!
You can live totally immersed in the nature around and at the same time close to Ubud center; you can see the ducks working in the rice fields during the day and you can sleep with the sound of frogs and gekos during the night.
Penestenan area is quite and charming, with everithing you need at short walk (yellow flower Cafè, restaurant, massage or yoga center).
Noelle and the staff are friendly and present for your needs.
We highly reccomend this experience.

A charming , adorable, cozy little place , with all the conveniences you will need.
I loved it, and its location was superb for me too.

A very beautiful and short walk to the great little yellow flower cafe , a yoga studio, and up a short path, to your right , more restaurants , a massage place and a few quaint little shops and stores ,,wow!!

To the left go down the steps to the bottom, near the road, theres plenty of drivers right there, to take you where you want to go ,,,anywhere, or all over Bali ,,,so thats easy!!!

You just negotiate a price with them and they will be more than happy to take you
on day trips, etc.

The Balanese people are the BEST ,,SOOOOOOO SWEET, they were the high llite of my 56 days there,,,and I plan to return too!!!!

Noelle and Ken, two very talented artists ,,loveeeeee their jewelry, were there during my stay,
so it was great meeting them ,
and anything you need , inc. a fresh coconut every am , brought to your door for one dollar BY A MAN WHO CUTS THEM DOWN AND OPENS THEM FOR YOU, really is a blessing ,as is the entire area ,,so pretty and magical!!!

Don't forget to take a drive to SIDEMAN, about an hour NE,,,WOW!!!!!

Go thru the village ,,(,which is just okkk)…to further inside the area, where you will see signs to the most beautiful ,,hotels and villas located there now,lovely...
and theres plenty of charming places for dinner too!

Don't forget the river area, near the bridge ,,into the rice fields ,theres a wonderful place called Darmanda for lunch and dinner ,.

I hope to visit Ubud again next year , and will certainly stay at this lovely, little piece of heaven !

Light,
Heidi

I had a lovely stay at this beautiful house in Penestanan. The setting is breathtaking and the staff is very friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend staying here.

Magique... Bijoux house est un petit paradis de tranquillité et de simplicité. Merci à Nyoman et Made ! On aime beaucoup Ubud (yoga, culture, gastronomie...) on l'aime encore plus au milieu de cette belle nature.

This was such a magical place to stay- the location although slightly out of the way was picture perfect- the path up to the bijoux house is (email hidden) paddy field lined with wild purple flowers and butterflies everywhere- which felt very special.
The decor and feel of the house is stunning- comfy bed and big shower and even though the house isn't that big, it feels spacious when you include the lovely porch area with plenty of seats to watch the birds and fireflies. There was a lovely touch of a Balinese bowl full of exotic fruit on arrival and vases of wild flowers on the tables to make the place seem instantly cosy and welcoming. Nice that there's a kitchen area to store wine, milk and make a cup tea and light food. The yellow flower cafe is a few minutes walk away and I would highly recommend visiting- the sunday buffet full of local Balinese dishes was especially memorable.
I couldn't imagine anyone not having a truly wonderful experience staying here- especially if you appreciate creative design touches. Thank you to Noelle and the staff- I hope to come back one day.

This place is indeed a bijou.
Couldn't have asked for a more unique, charming place to unwind. Set amidst nature's tranquil beauty in the hills just outside Ubud, Bijou was by and large my favorite stay during my 4 weeks in Bali. From the view, to the privacy, and attention in this bungalow's every detail, I really felt staying here made this magical trip complete. And now that I know about it, this is where I plan to return (hopefully sooner than later).
The reviews don't lie on this one -- this is where you want to be for a special experience in Ubud.
Thank you Ken & Noelle

A wonderful house with lovely surroundings. The staff took care of me very well. I highly recommend the place if you want to visit Ubud without staying in the busy town itself.

Bijoux house is a very lovely and special "feel good" place!
I often stayed in Bali and Bijoux is one of my favoriete houses ever.
Highly recommanded for every one who loves nature, loves some thing different, loves some thing very pure.
Thank you very much Ken and Noëlle to be Your guest for 10 very fine Bali Days

The house itself is unbelievable. Its gorgeous. Especially after traveling to Mas (nearby town famous for woodcarvers), we couldn't believe all the fine detail and craftsmanship put into this house. It is open air, so be prepared that its not extremely private and bugs get into the bedroom with ease. Its not so bad, just something to be prepared for considering the price of this house. The fountains and ponds surrounding the house make the setting very calm and relaxing. We loved the location. Its close to central ubud, but not in the middle of all the chaos of the city. We rented a motorbike, which was perfect. The yellow flower cafe right down the walkway is the absolute BEST. That was one of our favorite places to eat in all of Bali. We literally ate 1-2 meals each day there.

The staff at the house was very nice. They were around in the mornings to check in on us, clean up and see if we needed anything. We arranged our motorbike through them ($5 USD/day) and our ride to the airport ($25 USD). The only aspect we weren't too fond of was the communication with Noelle prior to our arrival. We booked the house a few days before arrival and weren't given clear check in expectations and/or directions. Noelle was even a bit snippy over emails with me the day before we arrived. It all worked out just fine, but there was definitely major attitude from Noelle. Maybe she was just having a rough day, but it was not the best way to start the trip.

Noelle was a delightful host, and the staff was amazing! We enjoyed breakfast at Villa Delicious every day and sometimes other meals. They were all such a joy and the food yummy yummy! Villa Delicious was perfect for us on our honeymoon. The bed was very comfy, the bathroom very clean, the porch wonderful to sit on and look out into the rice field. Love the artistic details too! Great place to stay in Ubud! Thanks Noelle!!

Noelle's "Casa des Artistes" is exactly as described - an Oasis amongst the rice paddies and a wonderful retreat form the world - we had such a great stay and the staff where helpful and sweet to us. Very happy we got to meet Noelle, a very talented and interesting person who was a great host. Thanks so much and we hope to return. Michele & Barry May 2013 - On a note just a short stroll into the main streets of Ubud and close to the Bintang supermarket for supplies. Kitchen was well stocked and functional great for me as I love to cook!

I'm a long time friend of Ken's for over 20 years but I have recently had the pleasure of being Noelle and Ken's guest in the charming Bijoux Rice Cottage. And really it was like living in a painting. The setting is beautiful, muted sounds of the rice workers during the day and at night the gecko speak to each other. We based ourselves with Ken and Noelle and took day trips to different occasions we had to attend in Bali returning for the peace and serenity of this little place in paradise. Ken took us sightseeing and introduced us to off the track experiences. Things you have to know to find.
I thoroughly enjoy spending time with this couple as their interests and passions mean the time is always inspirational and entertaining.

Noelle has created a piece of heaven for anyone lucky enough to stay at her magical Bijoux. I would highly recommend it as I know anyone will love it. I certainly did and will stay again.

Noel and Ken have created a little paradise .
Although I am a friend my view may sound bias but I can assure you in reality the homes are even better than the pictures .The location is the best and you will definately want to go back again .
