Manzelejepun Luxury Villa & Pavilion

My wife and and our son (two rooms) stayed at Manzelejepun for two nights in early January. It was our first time to Bali and it was a wonderful introduction for us. From the pick up from the airport in the middle of the night, to our lovely goodbye, it was perfect. Manzelejepun is about an hour from the airport, maybe a little less depending on traffic. It's away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta and the busier parts of Denpasar. I wanted something quiet and restful, and that's exactly what got. Once you're inside the gate, you feel far away from everything else. I also wanted something small and intimate. Again, Manzelejepun fit the bill perfectly. I believe that there are only seven rooms. We occupied two of them. Manzelejepun's gardens are very beautiful - meticulously kept, with a koi fishpond, gazebo etc. The restaurant is good. We had two breakfasts there and one evening meal. Portions were filling and the food was delicious. Our room was great. The aircon did the job quietly. We had a "outdoor" shower (walled off) and a spa sized bathtub. The bed was firm, but comfortable. It was intricately decorated in Balanese style. There was a TV, which we didn't use. We swam in the pool twice. Again, very nice. A few nice, unique touches - the "music room," complete with two classical guitars and a Yamaha piano. Also, all the photos and curios decorating the property. We had fun wandering around and exploring. My wife and I walked to the beach (about 15 minutes). It wasn't a great beach, but the walk was nice. The main road is a 7 or 8 minute walk away, too. One of the best things about Manzelejepun - Dewy and the other extremely friendly and helpful staff members. Just lovely. Such beautiful people. And the negative - our only disappointment is that we only spent one day (two nights) at Manzelejepun. We'll stay longer next time!

That we couldn't stay longer!

Staying here is like owning your own luxury villa with incredible staff here in Bali. Once you enter the gates you feel at home. The staff greets you warmly not in some big hotel trained way but with genuine happiness to see you and welcoming arms as if they are welcoming you home. The property is designed for comfort and peaceful relaxation. The best thing about this property is that you don't have to share it with hundreds of other guests. Priced reasonably you get an incredible value for your money. There are places to relax and read. A beautiful pool, and gardens that really reflex the beauty and culture of the island. A nicely equipped gym, game room with pool table. foosball and other games. The dining room is intimate but the real delight is the food. It is incredible. The hosts Patrick and Dewi are two of the nicest people I have ever met in all my travels (137+ countries) . They can help guide you to the best beaches, best restaurants, great walking paths, swimming spots, bike paths, diving spots, and island getaways. I always stay here when I come and I have never been disappointed in any way.

Not a single thing

Lovely room and garden, they had a really nice yoga studio and gym! The people working there were supernice. The location is a bit off, so we had to use grav every time we godt out of the hotel, as walking wasnt a possibility due to traffic

Location

This property is a hidden gem, room, grounds, pool, restaurant, second to none on my trip to Bali. Staff made you feel like your part of the family …

Nothing everything with and at this property is fantastic. Beach that is about 1/2 km away is not great, has black sand, heavier surf. Nice to walk on though..

Manzelepeun was magical! The staff is exceptional. It is a boutique style resort. The resort grounds and garden make you feel so peaceful and serene. Management (Devi and Patrick) handled an embarrassing situation (and potentially a lot of work for them) with such kindness and care. My husband got Bali Belly before arriving and had a bit of a wopsie! We all ended up having a big laugh about it. The in-house food was well priced and delicious. Manzelelpeun is a bit off the beaten track, but that turned out to be a blessing because we deeply relaxed and wanted for nothing. The massage at the resort was well priced as well. Whatever we needed was there. There is no need to go out into the stressful traffic. We enjoyed five days of bliss! We will be back! Thank you for a memorable stay.

This boutique hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff went out of their way literally to accomodate us. We stayed for 5 nights and then had another hotel in Sanur booked. We forgot to return the key and we notified them as soon as we realised when we reached our new hotel which was a 25 minute taxi ride away - they then sent a driver to our new hotel to pick up the key rather than have us travel back to them. Air conditioning could be put to whatever temp you required - a big tick in my book. I have stayed in wonderful hotels in Sydney and London but none of them provided this type of one on one service.

Not applicable

mostly quiet and peaceful and away from the busy. beautiful gardens and very helpful hosts

limited drinks choices, would have liked to be able to get a gin and tonic or a glass of wine.

The staff and Indonesian owner were extremely gracious and delightful. The gym has plenty of weights and a treadmill for running. The gardens are beautiful and there are plenty of places to sit and hang. We were given an amazing complimentary massage as service recovery for a mixup with the airport pick up. The setting is very peaceful and relaxing.  Breakfast at the restaurant is cheap and delicious. The restaurant is open for dinner if you don’t feel like going out. 

There’s not much not to like. Be aware the swimming pool, whilst beautiful does not get much sun. The local beach is black sand and there’s not much there so you really need to use Transport, but with a Grab app that’s pretty easy and cheap. 

I went into it with fairly high expectations given the price point but the place still dramatically exceeded expectations. It is in all likelihood the best hotel I have ever stayed at. Very tastefully appointed and well designed, it felt like we were staying in a piece of art. Yet with that, the staff were kind and warm, making special efforts to make it feel like home for us (which it did). It absolutely set a new bar for me in terms of what a good accomodation can look like.

It was perfect

Manzelejepun is a nice and quiet place. Good pick up service from airport. Staff is super friendly and hospitable. Beds are good and there is hardly any noise at night. Massage was super. We would definitly recommend Manzelejepun!
