BALI BLOG

January 4, 2012

…Pretty much status quo for 2012… No price changes but will give steeper discounts to guests “filling in” open times in-between other bookings… I will offer these to you when available. Occupancy is stable at ~ 75-80%. I’ve just began listing on “Roomorama,” so occupancy percentage will rise… We have now fully changed out our roofs, which are now 100% Balinese tile. We do miss the old grass roof (“alang-alang grass”), but had to switch to tile as the quality of the available alang-alang has deteriorated to the point that our previous roof lasted only 3 years!

Made, Ketut and Bapak are still gems going strong. Made and Pak have now been with me for 31 years; Ketut for 29 years! Pak is now around 75, I think (he himself isn’t sure exactly when he was born…) and isn’t climbing as many trees as he used to—but still shinnies up a coconut palm every once in a while… Still active, and full-time bearer of good karma. “Rumah Kartika Dharma” wouldn’t be the same without Made, Ketut, and Pak…
