Bed: Queen-size bed with mosquito net
Size: 21 m²
Access: Ground floor
This room was renovated in 2014. The bathroom comes with a hand-painted ceramic tile mosaic, which covers the west wall and most of the floor. Hundreds of small tiles were painstakingly put together to complete the different geometric patterns and they provide a pleasing contrast to the understated cream and dark mahogany interior.

Room 05 – Draupadi
Price per night: Rp 700,000
Occupancy: 1-2
Bed: Queen-size bed
Size: 21 m²
Access: Ground floor
This room was renovated in 2014. The interiors are inspired by the figure of Draupadi from the Hindu epic, the Mahabharata. She is the princess of Panchala, so the room is rich in flowing purple fabrics with gold brocades, decorative woodcarvings, and a cream marble floor. In Hindu mythology, her husband Yudhistira loses her in a bet to his arch-enemies, the Kauravas, who then bring her to their palace and attempt to disrobe her. When they pull at her sari, Draupadi turns her eyes to the heavens and prays to the Lord Krishna, asking him to save her from the ordeal. Lord Krishna hears her prayer, and as the Kauravas tug at the sari cloth, and pull it from her body, to their amazement more of it appears. The more they pull, the more cloth appears. The curtains in the room, from the red window curtain with a brilliant red brocade to the peach divider before the bathroom, provide a similar sense of overflowing fabrics. The stonecarving feature outside the window depicts the miracle of Krishna.
Room 06 – Venky
Price per night: Rp 700,000
Occupancy: 1-2
Bed: Queen-size bed
Size: 16 m²
Access: First floor
The renovation for this room was completed in 2015. The floor is antique grey marble, and the room has a unique wood and looking glass panelling spanning two walls. The energy of the room provides a more "masculine" counterpart to Room 7 – Nata on the same floor on the other side: the lines are strong and perpendicular, the lampshades are square and minimalist, and the custom designed bedcover and pillowcovers are a combination of matt grey with pinstripes and silver. The washbasin is black marble from a local stone art dealer and the tap a minimalist Italian design. The bathroom combines the wood panelling and grey natural stone from the interiors before leading to a contrasting cream marble shower room complete with a rain shower, glass door, and toiletries.
The name of Room 6 is Venky. He is the character who inspired the design, and it was built in his image. He is a half Madurese and half Irish full-of-life, always on-the-go, New York-dwelling, ultra-connected freelance writer. He is a faux intellectual and likes to dabble in "serious" topics such as feminism and the environment but he actually earns most of his commissions from light travel pieces and has been known to mix drinks when times have been tight. He is in Ubud because he loves the art and the bohemian vibe, but don't expect him to stick around for long; the tagline of the room – "Can I call you back?" – embodies this transience.

Size: 19 m²

This beautiful newly renovated room has a cream-coloured marble floor, bluewashed walls to mimic the sky, bird portraits, and cloud motifs running through the fabrics as a tribute to the Dutch ornithologist who was the inspiration behind the room.
The bedframe rests against a trademark Gayatri large mirror and decoration combination, in this case carving in dark wood, and the bathroom has a rustic cave feel with two different kinds of natural stone on the walls and a huge mirror as a relief feature.
The room has air-conditioning, a ceiling fan, a safety deposit box, and a private second floor balcony with a table and two chairs, from which one can enjoy the cool breeze and views of the raveen down to the small river nearby.
This is the owner's favourite room!
