Memorable Munduk Moding
After flying from brisbane, Australia, and staying 4 days in Ubud, we arranged a taxi driver who was able to drive us to Munduk Moding resort. We had 3 enjoyable days at the Plantation staying in the Junior Suite. This was very comfortable and spacious with gorgeous views over the fabulous infinity pool, the tropical grounds, and all the way down to the Bali Sea and the volcanoes on the horizon. The sunsets were particularly stunning each day with reflections in the infinity pool. We managed to plunge in the very cold water in the pool a few times and it was quite bracing but also very refreshing. We felt sure it was doing us good!
There are also beautiful views from the bathroom window and especially of the many blue hydrangeas which grow in abundance in that area. The shower was always nice and hot too.
The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. The traditional Balinese massage was fantastic and highly recommended. The spa is in a separate bungalow, very private and peaceful. In fact, the whole place provides a sense of privacy and respect of its guests. A bonus was the delicious ginger tea and a different homemade Balinese cake provided at 4pm each day. This was great as it started to get a bit chilly around that time.
There's a good library of books, magazines, and dvds. . We walked around the grounds and watched the roasting and grinding of the beans. We were encouraged to take a turn..
The resort provides many daily activities at a cost, but we chose not to do any of these as we were happy just to relax there. The property is off the beaten track and one really needs a vehicle or a driver to see the surrounding areas. It was really quiet and peaceful and a great place to just unwind and enjoy the beauty that it offers. At night, you could see the stars and the lights along the coast and in the valley below. The days were sunny interspersed by mountain mist.
We highly recommend this resort.
