Staying Near Sanur Beach for Cheap - Duyung Homestay Is Incredible Value!

[@Julie-AnneCornelius]

Stayed at Asoka earlier this year next door. Location and the price is great. Lovely staff who couldn’t do enough for the guests. Yes it has it’s small issues, but for 450,000 IDR a night for 2 people including breakfast who’s complaining! Really enjoy your work Adam, well done 👍.

[@SanurDiaries]

It’s good to hear you recommend Asoka as it’s been mentioned a few times before. I should check it out.

[@travellerswill]

Yeah I like Warung Kecil and it's good to know this homestay is close to it and the beach

[@SanurDiaries]

Absolutely!

[@stuartbailey5484]

Hi Stuart here from Glasgow. Its Great to see you doing videos again, we will need to reacquaint you with the Dog Lady and the Puppies ❤👍🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@alanfruin8742]

We stayed at Duyung Homestay in September. We upgraded to a studio room (more room, couch, table/chairs, larger fridge, cooking facilities). We agree with Vicky, Warung Kecil have very delicious breakfasts. We had the pleasure in meeting you for a coffee and chat.

[@SanurDiaries]

I did mention a few of the things you told me during that catch up. Thanks for the heads up on Duyung Homestay! A really good location and I think excellent for the price.

[@bizzylizzysmith7163]

I agree, great value. Great location. As long as it is clean and quiet I love places like this. They are often quite quirky and different to accomodation you would find in Australia which is what appeals to me.

[@SanurDiaries]

It really does have a quirky charm!

[@amandakeats4871]

Stayed there a few years ago. Damp in the room I was in. Pool far too small and no garden to relax in. Budget yes, but there are better options in Sanur in my opinion. The big bonus is the location though. And thank goodness for Warung Kecil. What a wonderful little restaurant.

[@SanurDiaries]

What are your top picks for this price range?

[@fleursmith5761]

Duyung would be my favourite street/area. Have stayed at Asoka there. Duyung Homestay is in a fantastic location for that budget for sure.

[@SanurDiaries]

It really is a great little spot! I might need to check out Asoka.

[@victorash4130]

Thx Adam…. Location and price superb…. Very much appreciated your in depth look at everything…. 🙏

[@SanurDiaries]

No worries, glad you found it helpful!

[@cherylguthrie9226]

Looks like a little hidden 💎in a perfect spot. Thanks for sharing Adam 👍

[@SanurDiaries]

No problem 👍

[@vicki8647]

It’s a great home stay, been there 3x in last year. Friendly staff, good location. Warung kecil is amazing. Shhhhhhh lol 😂

[@SanurDiaries]

ha! I don't think Warung Kecil is ever going to become too busy. Have you tried Warung Kecil Infinity on the bypass. Much bigger location.

[@vicki8647]

@ no I haven’t 🤔 . My shhhhhhh was actually about Dyung Homestay. Cheap lil gem.

[@SanurDiaries]

Oops 😅

[@vicki8647]

@ 😂😂😂

[@bennykristianto7351]

Thank you Mr Adam 😊

[@SanurDiaries]

You’re welcome!

[@elvisbartoli6687]

Yes thats a great find at "food central" as I call it now,already booked for next year and the larger rooms are down the end of the walkway,they are double fronted which certainly gives a lot more space and the sofa bonus.....keep up your great vids.Many thanks.

[@SanurDiaries]

Good info on the bigger rooms. It's a top little spot.

[@christineviking1578]

I agree Adam, the Duyung location is a definite plus.

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah it's the main draw of this place in my view. Just so central.

[@christineviking1578]

I actually really like and have stayed at the nearby Asoka. The only trouble is that unless you book way in advance, it's almost impossible to get a room...

[@SanurDiaries]

Good tip. I'll have to check it out!

[@christineviking1578]

@SanurDiaries If you email Asoka via their website, you'll get a better price. The rooms are spotlessly clean, also the pool. Very nice staff.

[@PeterC245]

Excellent coverage of this Accommodation, I’ll be in Bali next month , Peter,

[@SanurDiaries]

Thanks!

[@suarakeadilan8157]

Thanks for the video ❤🎉

[@SanurDiaries]

You're welcome 😊

[@passportbro7]

Hi mate 😲 awesome info

[@SanurDiaries]

Glad you liked it!

[@jennynairn1388]

Nice find. Haven't stayed there but been past it a few times. The bubbling in the paint, for me, usually indicates rising damp. Do you smell any mould in your room? Great location, although over what I would normally spend but good price for sure.

[@SanurDiaries]

Nah it didn’t have a smell to it. As I said, it’s a clean room aside from the rising damp.

[@rodwilkinson5682]

Adam,not sure what its like thesedays,but Yulia1,has always been good value,Ketut is also a nice guy,

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah I have seen that around the traps. Will try it out one day!

[@joannegilmour5606]

Would you still stay there now that those beach restaurants are closed?

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah I would until the trucks start rolling in. Then I would reconsider based on what the noise situation is like.

[@joannegilmour5606]

@ over there in July this year…. Maybe they will have started by then. I may book the Kamboja home stay

[@frankie8762]

Great video No that area well

[@SanurDiaries]

Thanks!

[@caroltzemis4655]

Hey Adam thanks again for the info, left field question....Probs one for Susan however have you much experience as to where to find the best massage places in Sanur we are staying at Sagara Villas do you recommend anything near by? Thanks Carol

[@SanurDiaries]

We aren’t massage experts unfortunately, but Susan does like the Nest down at the beach. She reckons it’s one of the most spa-like massages she’s had in Sanur. There are others that are cheaper such as Peni Weni.

[@steveth1000]

My wife is also named Susan, and we will take her advice on Peni Weni as it's opposite the Kamboja Homestay. We will be in there every day in our week there.

[@stuartbailey5484]

I prefer Asoka next door ❤

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah a few people have said they have stayed there and like it.

[@stevethepom]

Hmm small backstreet homestay in Sanur wifi 84.96 Mbps ......... NBN Telstra at home just outside the Barossa Valley south Australia 26.51 Mbps and they call Indonesia a developing nation

[@SanurDiaries]

lol It's crazy isn't it? They aren't even using the fastest plan. Some go well above 200.

[@steveth1000]

Great for the budget minded. Not for me though, I could see some issues, but its priced accordingly and great location.

[@SanurDiaries]

Yep, it is definitely a budget place.

[@steveth1000]

We are very grateful you let us know about another homestay that we ended up booking for $40 room only per night. We will organise breakfast directly with them as we didn't get that option online. It's great to have different price points in accommodations shown.

[@alanmitchell9062]

Can you checkout the easy way to get to the beach Warungs from Watujimbar please.

[@SanurDiaries]

Unless you can cut through one of the beachfront hotels, Jalan Pantai Karang is the quickest way to the beach. The problem is that there aren't too many warungs down there. If you're lucky you will see a cremation in the car park which is a unique cultural event... I think the best option is to walk up to the icon mall and cut through there to the beach walk where the warungs start at that end of town. Otherwise, there are plenty of warungs along the main road away from the beach.

[@alanmitchell9062]

@@SanurDiaries Thanks Gary we are looking forward to out stay at the Watujimbar in August hope that they will let you do an update there.

[@jacquibrown8607]

Thank you for the information did I miss the price of the room ? How much for a bigger room ?

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah, it’s at 12:13 in the video. I paid Rp387.000, but prices are seasonal. You can check out the booking.com link to the hotel in the description to check current prices and for that larger room.

[@steveth1000]

​@@alanmitchell9062 our son booked at Watujimbar for Feb, thanks for asking that, very helpful to know the answer.

[@noelgokel514]

Hi Adam, i noticed the price you quoted more than doubles over xmas/new year. That was checking through online booking sites. Do you think you would you still get your quoted price if booking in person at the hotel during that time?

[@SanurDiaries]

No, I think it would already be booked out because it's the busiest time of year. I would probably check further back from the beach and maybe up your budget a little bit for Christmas...

[@steveth1000]

We booked our accommodations 7 months out, now with only 2 months to go our accommodation for our dates has gone up a lot.

[@debodastalion]

I stayed in Bali 6 months last year ,could never get a spot at duyong, always booked out ,very popular. Ate at kecil nearly everyday I think it's one of the best and happy monkey opposite icon is also a great warung

[@1dancier]

Haven't been to Bali for awhile so don't know the prices. Looked on Google maps and rooms were $40 AUD plus. I might stay a few days and move on with my bicycle, but its good have comfy spots to revisit when in the area again.

[@SanurDiaries]

Yeah that's about right. Cheap accommodation in Sanur is in the $30-$45 range. Outside of Sanur you can still get it slightly cheaper, but you start to get into places without pools etc. The extremely cheap sub-$10 stuff is not really available anymore.

[@madeinaustralia2020]

Istayed at Komune resert and Besahki beach hotel last time. Duyung is just as nice as Komune resort rooms and nicewr than besahki..The bathroom at Besahki beach resort was not real clean or hygenic looking

[@SanurDiaries]

Ah right. It's a bit of a problem that many of the hotels close to the beach are old and in need of renovation. I'm not sure why they don't put a bit of money into them to bring them into the 2020s.

[@robertcrooks8143]

i didn't know milk bottles could swim lol

[@madeinaustralia2020]

nappies toothbrushes and thongs plastic bags can also swim in Bali. LOL

[@SanurDiaries]

Mate it's not a milk bottle. It's a 2L milk carton thank you very much. 🤣
