In Reply to: Lovina accommodation etc. posted by ingbri on Tuesday, 2. April 2013 at 12:08 Bali Time:
A very friendly Aussie guy called Richard & his lovely Indonesian wife - Tini own Rambutan Cottages.They have a large variety of rooms from budget with cold showers & fans up to Deluxe villas.There are 2 pools,billard table & breakfast in included in the rate.The service is great,the rooms are terrific,very centrally located in the Kalibukbuk area of Lovina where many shops,restaurants,cafes are near by.I suggest you contact Richard via his webpage & say you are a BTF member & if you are staying a few nights ask what his price is.Give him a day or so to reply as I know that he is travelling atm with his family.
I presume since it was mentioned about hiring a motorbike that you have an Aussie licence & have experience at riding a motorbike.You can get an International bike licence from your local auto club.Please keep in mind that if you don't have an Aussie motorbike licence you are taking your life & financial future into your hands since your travel insurance will not cover you if any incidences happen.If you still wish to hire a motorbike in Lovina go to Tini's shop right opposite Rambutan (different Tini)& say Mamma Colleen sent you.I am sure that my friend Tini's husband will be able to organise a motorbike for you.My friend Tini also has great prices at her shop for all sorts of locally made goodies.Her husband also seels nice shell jewellery.
Lovina is our favourite part of Bali & you can't go wrong if you stay at Ranbutan cottages.BTW - don't forget to check out the local markets on the main drag for fresh produce & many craft items.
