In Reply to: Whats Canggu Like? posted by burracooka on Monday, 13. July 2009 at 11:25 Bali Time:
The region known as Canggu covers a couple of square miles. There is a reasonable pub overlooking the ocean and several restaurants. Expats also frequent the Canggu Club which on a back track close to Seminyak.
Depending on where you plan to stay it could be luxury villas by the sea or something more modest in a village with chooks and dogs.
Have a look on Google earth or wikimapia and work out if a 15-20 minute trip is too far out for you. Some villas provide a car and driver. Or you may hire a vehicle/bike. Taxis are cheap enough also.
If you like traffic, noise and action then stick with the more built up areas. If you are an early morning surfer and want tranquility then consider Canggu.
