“Once again to Bali we did come,
On our itinerary Klub Kokos was number one!” 
HF – Adelaide, S.A., May 2005

“This place is so nice!!!  The staff is very friendly, attentive, nice, thoughtful, etc. etc.  The only thing wrong with this trip is that it was too short!  So that means we must come back.” 
MR – Raleigh, Nth Carolina, U.S.A., April 2005

“I love Klub Kokos!!  The staff feel like friends and the place feels like home.  Sad to leave.  Happy to return …”

RH – Balgowlah, N.S.W., October 2004

“Margaret came up here in May
And her report to us did say
That at Klub Kokos we should stay
And experience Bali Cathy’s way.
So Trish and Tony and Fat Max
Came here to Ubud to relax
And drink the drinks and eat the snacks,
See the art and walk the tracks.
The time in days did number four,
And we are clamouring for more.
So if we get to leave our shore
It’s here we’ll come again for sure!” 
TTM – Adelaide, S.A., September 2004

“Thanks for such a tranquil relaxing stay – hope to take some of that back to life in Brussels with us!” 
FC – Brussels, Belgium, August 2004

“In this world of terror, torment & spleen
One can seldom find their dream;
An idyllic place to calm and relax,
Where time goes by without mind to tax.
But the gods did truly bless us
When by chance we came across
This piece of heaven called ‘Klub Kokos’.” 
JD – Porepunkah, Vic., August 2004

“When someone writes the history of Bali and the developments in tourism through the 60’s, 70’s, and so on, special mention should be made of the inspirational genius of Krish and Cathy in developing a resort that enhances the locality, mixes the best of the old with the new and nurtures the local people so that everyone can enjoy this beautiful place.” 
PK – Gloucs, England, August 2004

“It was magical when we found ourselves watching flocks of birds finding their way home as the sky turned orange, then purple and pink.  When city life gets hectic, it is moments like these that would lift our spirits.” 
GS – Singapore, July 2004

“Calm and peaceful hide-away from the Ubud-hustle, great pool for children, fantastic views and opportunities for walks and experience of village life.” 
FB – Birkerod, Denmark, June 2004

“At the end of a winding road
We found our tranquil Balinese abode
The staff there were smiling, friendly, welcoming and kind
A more relaxing experience you never would find.
The view from our room was a treat
As rice paddys and Mt Agung each morning our eyes would greet.
For 14 years around Bali we did roam
Now at last we have found our true Balinese home!
We thank you, Cathy and Krish
For making our stay absolute bliss!” 
VH – Adelaide, S.A., May 2004

KM - Ibaraki, Japan, November 2002

GH – E Vic Park, W.A., January 2000

“Shangri-la in the rice paddies!”

RS – Myponga, S.A., September 1999

DC – Andamooka, S.A., April 1998

“I couldn’t imagine what the accommodation would be like. East meets West, best of both worlds. We set off down the hill to wonderful views, delightful people & to shop ‘til we dropped. Materialism & spirituality have never married so well.”
DS – Millicent, S.A., April 1998

“How can this two weeks be over that quick? We had a wonderful time here doing nothing, relaxing and ‘only being’. Where else is this possible than here, together with my Balinese family.”
JW – Langenthal, Switzerland, January 1998

“‘Terima kasih’ to the staff at Klub Kokos! I feel privileged to have participated in the everyday life of rural Bali. That is a learning experience!”
JB – New Brunswick, Canada, November 1997

GH – Caringbah, N.S.W., October 1997

“We are certainly thankful that we took that walk from Keliki to Ubud and chanced upon your wonderful establishment. The accommodations and cuisine are outstanding.

KE – Bayswater, W.A., October 1997

DL – Pt Lincoln, S.A., August 1997

“Our stay was an experience totally different to Kuta. Cathy was a treasure of information on all things Balinese. It made the visit more meaningful, pleasurable and memorable. Food was delicious.”
KB – Coffs Harbour, N.S.W., June 1997

“I was very happy because I could stay here. I return to Japan with a lot of fond memories.”

TR – Brecon, Powys., Wales, U.K., March 1997

“The beautiful surroundings, the peace & serenity, the warm friendly people were more than we ever expected. Our bungalow is very comfortable, neat, clean & tidy, extremely good value compared with anything I have seen before.”
JM – Serpentine, W.A., February 1997

“The Club has a relaxing and calming effect on us all. The only drawback with coming here was to arrive direct from Perth, and any other accommodation seems a letdown, by comparison with this hospitality and splendour.”
AT – White Gum Valley, W.A., September 1996

“Krishna & Cathy have done a great thing here & have helped so very many people. It is a pleasure to know them”
RH – Lahaina, HI, August 1996

“Trying to escape the diesel-fumed streets of Ubud, … we started our many walks from here through surrounding villages and rice fields and we reminded ourselves of our gratitude for the ability to experience life and the daily ritual of living.”
DT – Fairfax, CA, May 1996

“People who say that Bali is spoiled should go to Klub Kokos, where they can feel and see what Bali really is.”
KS – Oirschot, Holland, March 1996
