Why People Love It
- Stunning Moroccan and Mediterranean interiors that look exactly like the photos
- Prime location on Jalan Tanah Barak—walkable to Crate Cafe, Shady Shack, and Echo Beach
- Private pools and rooftop lounges in select units for sunset drinks
Quick Take: It's a gorgeous aesthetic hideaway, but active construction next door means your daytime pool hangs might come with a soundtrack of hammering.
Reviewed by @katherine_galvin: I stayed at Casa Cherish and it was like stepping into a Mediterranean dream right in Bali. The all-white design is incredibly calming, and I spent hours just lounging by the private pool. It’s easily one of the most photogenic places I’ve ever booked.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool private?
Yes, each 2BR villa has its own private plunge pool, often with a cute floating beanbag or sunbeds.
How bad is the construction noise?
It varies, but expect hammering and drilling from 8am to 5pm. If you plan to be out surfing or exploring all day, it won't bother you. If you work from home, it might.
Is there a gym on site?
No, but 'Fitness Plus' is literally down the street (Jl. Tanah Barak No. 19), open 24/7 and very popular.
Can I walk to the beach?
Yes, Batu Bolong Beach is about an 18-minute walk. It's doable, but most people rent a scooter or take a cheap GoJek bike ride (5 mins).
Is breakfast included?
No, but the villa has a fully equipped kitchenette (stove, fridge, cookware) and is steps away from Crate Cafe and other breakfast legends.
Do they provide airport transfer?
Yes, they offer a paid airport shuttle service. It's recommended for your first arrival as the villa lane can be tricky to find.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for the 'floating breakfast' at least 24 hours in advance—it's a paid extra but makes for the classic Bali photo op.
- ✨
The villa lane is dark; use your phone torch at night to avoid stepping in puddles or uneven pavement.
- ✨
There is a water vending machine inside the villa—refill your bottles here to save money and plastic.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'river view' in the Moroccan villa is peaceful but can sometimes smell a bit 'earthy' after heavy rain.
💡The living room is 'sunken' style, which looks cool but can be a trip hazard if you're not paying attention.
💡You are responsible for your own dishes unless you pay extra or tip the housekeeping staff generously.
💡The internet speed is surprisingly good (often 50+ Mbps), making it viable for digital nomads—if you have noise-canceling headphones.
💡The 'rooftop' on the Greek villa is amazing for sunset but has zero shade during the day.
