Hi everyone,
we are 3 couples with 4 young children (4 months, 1 year, 2 years, 7 years), coming to live in Bali for 2 months from feb-apr 2012. We plan to get a big house/villa to share. Lucky us!
We are having some trouble deciding where to live. We all want to be resonably close to a local restaurant or two, and would like to be in some beautiful surroundings, not too far from a beach. We have been looking at Canggu and Seminyak - but Canggu seems too remote for some (worried about how far you have to go to bar/coffee etc - but beautiful big houses) and Seminyak seems too busy/built up for others (too much like 'city life', smaller houses in a more built up area, not so much nature).
Any comments or opinions would be much appreciated! I think we are ideally looking for somewhere that has all the conveniences of seminyak (we are not interested in "luxury" restaurants and designer clothes, or clubs - but we are interested in having some life around, a couple of bars, a couple of restaurants) - but still feels relaxing and has some space and nature around. Can we find this in Seminyak?
Sorry for the long mail, but anyone with any advice please give a shout! Thanks!
