an absolutely stunning villa right in Senggigi.It is really lovely & has a pool.We had a look over it in June when we where there & if we ever go to Lombok again it will definately be where we will stay.
She doesn't really advertise it but I can get the number from another local friend of mine.I can't remember the price per night but it was very reasonable & similarly priced re local hotels but we thought it was way better than a hotel.Leave it with me for a few days & I will contact my friend who knows the lady with the villa.I will also try following up on a few contacts for you to buy stock.We meet a lovely couple who sell silver jewellery & also know a lovely young man who has set up a small shop in one of the villages that all the local men make items for.Everything is very well priced in here & excellent quality.
Word of warning though be very very careful checking over timber items if you go into the big co-op store down South.I thought I was pretty good at checking things after all these years but we got caught & had to have an item fumigated when we got home because I wanted to keep it.I bought a timber item at the local Co-op store down South - well somewhere along the way someone who was involved in either making it or selling it discovered that it had bugs in it & to make sure it was still able to be sold the tiny pinprick holes had been filled in & painted over.I got stung because I didn't know this.The ikat cloth material in this store is stunning though.
When are you leaving ?
Maybe best to email me because I may end up getting a fair bit of info for you.Might be easier for me if I don't have to rush this though at this time of year.
