Pondok Pisces Bali (Bali, Indonesia) ★★★

Located on beautiful Balian beach in Banjar Pengasahan, Desa Lalanglinggah in the Tabanan district of Bali. Whilst Balian beach is just two hours north west of Denpasar international airport, it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta and Legian…no vendors, sellers, touters or hair plaiters here, just traditional villagers going about their everyday lives.
Tabanan district is renowned for it’s stunning terraced rice fields overlooking the ocean and the mountain villages where top quality coffee and cloves are farmed. The weather here is milder than the south and there is no need for air-conditioning as refreshing sea breezes keep you cool all year.

Tom Wilson, a visiting artist from Australiadiscovered and fell in love with Balian in 1990. A few years later (1995), he purchased a small piece of land. In '99 he began to build a modest house and 2-storey bungalow. At this time, he was still the only foreigner setting in this isolated bit of Bali paradise.
Tom opened his home as a unique surfer accommodation in 2000, sharing his dream as he had now relocated to Balian Beach permanently. He named it Pondok Pisces after 'pondok' meaning small house and 'pisces' meaning fish.
