The hype
Reviewers are obsessed with the host Wayan's hospitality and the immaculate cleanliness of the rooms.
Aix Cottage Ubud
$90-130 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want the 'Eat, Pray, Love' rice field fantasy without the $500 price tag, hosted by a Balinese family that actually cares.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- Wayan and his family treat guests like long-lost relatives, not room numbers
- Dead-silent location in Kelabang Moding, far from the exhaust fumes of Ubud center
- Spotless, glass-fronted cottages that make you feel like you're sleeping in the jungle
Ringkasan Cepat: A serene, family-run hideaway that's perfect for decompressing, provided you're comfortable being a 15-minute scooter ride from the nearest Starbucks.
Ditinjau oleh @serennetravel: I stayed in this incredible bamboo villa and it was a total dream. Taking a boat through the koi pond right to my room was magical, and the sunset views over the rice fields were breathtaking. It’s the perfect spot for a romantic escape in nature.

FAQ & Tips Tersembunyi
Semua yang perlu Anda ketahui sebelum memesan.
Is it walkable to Ubud center?
No. It's a 4km (2.6 mile) trip. Walking is not recommended due to heat, narrow roads, and distance. Plan on a 10-15 minute scooter or taxi ride.
Is there a restaurant on site?
Only for breakfast. For other meals, you can order delivery via Grab/Gojek or walk to the nearby Pyramids of Chi cafe.
Is the pool private?
No, it is a shared outdoor pool for all guests, but since there are only a few cottages, it's often quiet.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, rooms are equipped with AC, which is essential for the humidity.
Do they offer airport pickup?
Yes, the host Wayan can arrange transfers for a fee (usually cheaper and more reliable than airport taxis).
Is the internet good enough for work?
Generally yes. Free WiFi is available and usually stable enough for calls, but backup mobile data (Telkomsel) is always smart in Ubud.
Tips Insider
- ✨
Ask Wayan about renting a scooter directly from the property; it's often less hassle than finding a rental shop in town.
- ✨
The 'Pyramids of Chi' sound healing center is just a 10-minute walk away — book a session for a unique local experience.
- ✨
Request a 'floating breakfast' in the pool if you want the classic Bali Instagram shot (ask in advance).
5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The bathroom is 'semi-open' — beautiful, but means you might have a gecko watching you shower.
💡The road leading to the property can be narrow and dark at night; use your phone flashlight if walking.
💡You are in a local village (Kelabang Moding), so be respectful of ceremonies that might block the road temporarily.
💡There is no gym, but the rice field paths offer a scenic, albeit sweaty, running route.
💡The price fluctuates significantly by season; booking in the wet season (Jan-Feb) can snag you a luxury experience for budget rates.
