going 25/8. Got the really cheap AA flights and the point of sneaking in an extra holiday was that it was cheap. Only reasonable place I could get (in price I mean, not *'s!!) was Bukungs Beach Cottages thru Asia rms for 9n-$306AU. We have 2 small children so this added to our problem. I've only put one on the booking so that will be interesting when we turn up! (They can sleep in the same bed so hopefully will be ok). Couldn't get a 2nd room at that price for Nanna. Got her 8n thru Qantas hols for same price.
I've been looking since in the hope of maybe 'trading up' but the prices are unbelieveable, at least double what I've paid for budget.
It will be easier for you at least as it's only 2 of you. I would just keep trying all the cheap sites: Agoda, Asiarms (although they tend to advertise a cheap price then come back and say N/A!).
I too have a booking for Adi cottages for Feb. Mine is $70 US but that's because I've told them about the kids and we've got a Junior suite. I think it's about 1/2 that for normal room. Last time we stayed 1n in Ubud at ?Gayati 2 Bungalows. It was around 350-400k/n. VERY basic but suited us fine for the 1n.
Good luck - I know it's unbelievable hard to find something!
