Villa Orchard House Seminyak

Villa Orchard House – Seminyak Villa

Located in downtown Seminyak, Villa Orchard House is an elegant four-bedroom character home set amongst stunning tropical gardens. Unique in appearance and style, one can best describe this delightful residence as “British India meets Out of Africa,” lovingly created by the villa’s owners, Luli and Charles Orchard, renowned in Bali for high-end furniture design.

Having been the family home for the past 12 years, the villa overflows with exotic furnishings and artefacts. Hundreds of famous artists’ paintings, sketches, photographs, and prints adorn the walls, while antique rugs, ceramic vases, and vintage fabrics inject a unique sense of style. Sympathetic to its surroundings, traditional Balinese materials have been used in harmony with the environment and tropical climate.

High vaulted ceilings topped with ironwood shingle and Alang-Alang thatched roofs and hardwood floors keep the villa cool, while French-style windows beautifully capture the natural light. The expansive garden with its mature trees, large lawn, 13-metre swimming pool (with optional pool fence) and poolside balé adds to the villa’s beauty to create a sense of space in an urban neighbourhood bustling with activity. Just 100 metres from the villa’s door, guests find themselves on Jalan Seminyak, home to some of the island’s best restaurants, spas, boutiques, bars and galleries.

However, for those who’d rather stay in and enjoy the quiet, The Orchard House offers a multitude of living spaces and comes with a team of dedicated staff, including a highly skilled in-house chef. Villa Orchard House is particularly child-friendly, with an additional bedroom that sleeps four children and an abundance of facilities to keep even the most energetic youngsters entertained.

Bedroom at Villa Orchard House

Master bedroom

The spacious air-conditioned master bedroom with its white wooden ceiling, hardwood floors, ensuite bathroom, king-size bed and library sitting area is the perfect place for those who wish to unwind and relax while taking in the garden views. The room is also equipped with a ceiling fan and small satellite TV and DVD player. The air-conditioned ensuite bathroom consists of two areas: a dressing room with wooden floors and antique carpets underfoot, plentiful cupboard space and two white basins set in a grey marble vanity; and a light and airy Palimanan bathing area with a rain shower and tub looking out across the vivid green foliage. This room is ideal for parents who like to have their children close at hand as the children’s room is accessed directly off the master suite’s dressing area.

Children’s room

The children’s bedroom is divided by a wooden doorway into two separate air-conditioned spaces. The first area is fitted out with a white bunk bed, bright pink furnishings, shelves, cupboards, and play space, while an annex features two single beds with white and turquoise furnishings (suitable for children or teenagers).

Guest rooms

The connecting downstairs guest rooms, which are cooled by air conditioning and ceiling fans, via the media room or garden veranda, feature green and white hand-painted cement tiles from one of Bali’s most famous artistic villages, Sidemen. The larger room is furnished with a four-poster king-size bed draped in mosquito netting, a floral patterned sofa, watercolours and a scattering of antiques.

Curtained doors lead to the twin guest room (converted to double bed), with its own garden access through bi-fold doors. Both rooms share a rustic ensuite bathroom featuring a terrazzo bathtub and handheld shower, a small settee, twin basins set in a beige marble vanity and a large whitewashed teak cupboard for storing clothes.  As well as opening onto the garden, the bathroom has a clear glass ceiling above the tub to give the effect of bathing under the stars. These two guest rooms are ideally for a family with young children.

Garden Bungalow

The air-conditioned garden bungalow stands across the two guest rooms – discreetly located for that craving extra privacy.  Featuring a high vaulted ceiling and Alang-Alang thatched roof, terracotta-tiled patio with reading chairs, a king-size four-poster bed with mosquito netting, sofa adorned with green and white striped cushions, and an antique writing desk, this little house oozes character.  Traditional Balinese doors lead to an ensuite with a terrazzo tub, handheld shower, and twin basins set in a teak vanity.  The bathroom also opens onto the garden – the perfect place for taking a relaxing bath.

Living Spaces at Villa Orchard House

Guests at The Orchard House are spoilt for choice when it comes to indoor living spaces. The villa has been decorated by the owners, with each piece of furniture designed to create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere with old world charm. The artwork and antiques have been collected worldwide, including Morocco, Turkey, Africa, Southeast Asia, and India. Most of the paintings are by famous Balinese artists with the odd Picasso or John Lennon print and Burmese masterpieces scattered in between.

Indoor living

Guests are greeted at The Orchard House in the open-plan living and dining room, where they can recline on soft, comfortable sofas with a welcome drink while admiring the detail that has gone into making this home so special. With its circular table for six, the dining area curves out towards the garden with bi-fold doors and windows opening onto the tropical surrounds. A writing desk with a desktop computer and printer/scanner sits under a bay window.

The fan-cooled Big Room is a step down from the living and dining room, with vaulted ceilings under a thatched roof. Rich oriental carpets add colour to the dark hardwood floors and pastel walls, while vases of silk English roses add to the country cottage feel. Floor-to-ceiling bookcases line one wall, while paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and artefacts line the other.

Plump sofas with soft cushions surround a huge coffee table laden with books (some published by the owner), and an antique cabinet hides a satellite TV with a DVD player and Bose iPod dock for entertainment. A round dining table for four is just the spot for high tea. French doors open out onto the gardens and a patio furnished with eight-seater dining shaded by umbrellas.

And More

Adjoining the living and dining room is the villa’s fully equipped galley-style kitchen fitted out with black granite worktops, teak cupboards, an impressive china cabinet, a great selection of cookbooks and all the latest appliances. Guests can sip their tea in the breakfast nook decked out with pink and white check cushions. Can access the air-conditioned media room from the entrance hall, kitchen, and garden. A pastel blue chaise sofa compliments the hand-painted white cement tiles, turquoise cupboards with stained-glass windows and pink-striped curtains. Here guests can enjoy a movie on the large flat-screen satellite TV with a DVD player. Equipped with a Karaoke machine and numerous toys – even a dining table with vinyl tablecloth for messy eaters – this room doubles admirably as a children’s playroom.

On the top floor of the main house is the air-conditioned library. Furnished with two leather armchairs, a wooden desk and a large daybed, this room offers the best views in the house. A small balcony with a wicker chair is strategically placed to catch the sun’s rays.

Outdoor living

One of the highlights of Villa Orchard House is its stunning garden with swaying coconut palms, towering trees and exotic blooms. A rare luxury for a Seminyak villa, this beautiful home boasts large lawns big enough for a soccer game, badminton, or croquet. While the children are kept well entertained playing in the treehouse, on the swings, and in the 13-meter swimming pool, which has a special shallow section, adults can lie back on the sun loungers and daybed or take refuge in the poolside balé. A shaded outdoor dining area (seats ten) near the pool, which makes an idyllic setting for a barbecue on a balmy night. A lily pond with an elephant water feature creates a soothing background ambiance by the main entrance.
