Living In Bali - Renovating a modest beach-house
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 11. 2023
- We decided to make life interesting by starting a new renovation in Bali.
Just 1 block away from the beach this is a perfect medium term project that we can use to transform a tired old "Bali Dwelling" into a fun and comfortable rental unit.
Start with us on Day 1 to follow the project to completion.
I use Matesrates for my Legal, property and visa consultant

Love the open plan layout. There's definitely the potential to make it really nice. I like the cobblestone floor in the entrance
The entrance should be left as is only stop the water from coming straight down leave it for the scooters to be parked instead of outside it's actually like a mini garage .
Place gutters very large ones enough to catch all the water and send it outside .
The white tiles also need to be upgraded to non slip .
Also place horizontal one foot long window's on the walls to allow light to come it made from them glass bricks, say about 20cm below the roof line .
Bedrooms are going to be the hardest to do if you don't get it right .
Excellent idea. As time goes by and life becomes more expensive in the west there will be more people wanting to come to Bali and assess whether or not it is for them. Having a base such as this would be perfect for that purpose. I can see you with multiple such properties in the future
Hey Muzza,
Another GREAT PROJECT youve got there......youve already done the leg work to know where to get what.
So I believe this one will be a lot smoother and easy compared to your first reno.
The plants in the bathroom are called Homalomena ( or shield/ spade plant ).
The taller one is a Dracena ( or happy plant ).
Dont cut back the plams by the front entrance, theyre called Lady Palm.....you can dig up the clump and divide them to produce new INSTANT plants.
LOVE the old school style of the bungalow....good size rooms and good layout as it is.
A sliding glass doors or french glass doors into the side yard would give a nice outlook and a good space to chill out in.
Would make a great garden with a couple lge fragipanis and ylanga ylanga and palms.
Bit of paving......it will look fantastic.
Great find Muzza and Vie.....and a really good idea with the medium/ long rental.
Gives someone time to look around to find exactly what they want....have a bit of fun and start/go through the process of getting their visas etc sorted out.
✨️❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏✨️
Looking forward to this one😊
G’day Murray, what a great bungalow you got you hands on, I can see it has fantastic potential, all the best with this build, can’t wait to see it finished. Cheers Michael
Good luck with the renovations Muzza, it will be lovely when finished ✅❤️
That is a great start, looking forward to seeing the finished product Muzz. Glenn from Australia
Looks good! Glass sliding doors beside the cobbled area so you can open or close and still see the lounge room jungle? Then you can aircon too!
I love it. I was thinking the exact same thing that you mentioned turning the pebbled open area into an indoor garden 💚
Solid advice, Muzz. 👍
What a great little place…can’t wait to see what you do with it👍🏼
Love it Muzza. Nice Lil gem.
Good luck. Great idea
Love to see how it turns out😊
Great vid muzza!looking forward to the next one!love the low budget accommodations!
Great job on the new project 😊 i agree an indoor garden would look great
What a fabulous project! Looking forward to seeing progress
What a great video mate very informative im sure this will help a lot of people.👍
Sounds like a great plan. I am keen to look for an opportunity over there as well. Must catch up next time we come over. Good Job Muzza !!
How exciting, you already have one renovation under your belt and I am sure you guys will do a great job with this one. Very excited to watch your progress. Cheers
Enjoying your videos mate. I’m coming over around Feb for a month or so and hope to catch up with you. Cheers.
Definitely has great potential! Interested to see the end result
Muzza… more stories than Walt Disney!!! Awesome
Good on you Muzz you can make it look great, and I'm looking forward to seeing your new product rhona
Fantastic potential...wow. Get rid of that light that is casting the shadow of the ceiling fan directly where the TV would be that would be annoying 😂
love your content murray you are doing a great job to help expats
It's perfect. I love it. That's the bali I remember from my youth and love
So much potential !!
Will be watching with interest Muzza.
Reminds me of losmans in the late 70's, early 80's.
You're onto a winner there that's for sure.
Omg renovates delight muzzas the block Bali style. Brian Perth Australia
Fabulous - I can't wait to shift in. 🙂
Mate I do believe your on a winner good on you and your wife
Awesome little bachelor pad.
Me coming from tropical Aus I just see mozzies so I would screen of the entrance area with big sliding screens this allowing the breeze to flow but keeping the biting insects out. If you add a A/C then just add a curtain you will be amazed how much a simple curtain will help keep it cool, again it can be drawn out the way to keep the breeze flowing when desired.
What ever you do you should do well out of it.
Has great character, and I can see real potential
That close to the beach 👍
mate superb,im going to watch this space,keen too rent very long term ,closely watching,cheers muzza
Interesting video thanks again
I think you're right about keeping the roof open as much as possible and the big gutter inside the house would be cool. I live in Phoenix AZ US, desert, 48 C. I've done some experiments and hot air rising of course is true, but results have been disappointing. Doesn't move as much air as I thought. Shading the roof makes a much bigger difference.
Luv it would be keen maybe to to use longer term .. Will keep watching your progress
What a nice house, even in it's current state.
On ya Muzza, im really thinking about moving out of cold Victoria. Bali sounds like the place to be.
Hi , I think they used to have twinkly lights across the road where you met Bobo. It used to have lots of places to eat and shop. Hopefully they can make it a nice place again.
Thanks 😊
Wise advise THANKS
Muzza the square drive bits are called "Robinson bits" named after the Canadian inventer
Thanks for sharing Muzza
Good work Muzza, I would go on your list as a regular renter of it for a few months at a time. 👍
Deal! Stay in touch. It is a great place in a great location . Just needs some love
Good advice first thing check with notaries who owns the land, all of them.
Looks like it has a lot of potential and can’t wait to see the finished product 😊
Can I ask where you get your Aussie sausages from?
Muzza,I saw a quick video of you on another channel discussing worst nationality of tourists. When they mentioned Bali you popped up and they discussed Aussie tourists
I'm getting famous.. or infamous
Love the idea of a bath in the garden inside, but consider mosquitos. Maybe plant some anti-mosquito plants that can live inside.
Great updates off what is available from someone living in Indonesia
Muzz at the departure lounge to Darwin got to catch up next time I'm getting to bloody old to party lol
Interesting
Muz, at 03:46, I reckon that the green sheet of plastic is not nearly long enough to deflect the torrential downpours.
The whole house lounge area will end up a wet room!
That staircase nearly killed you. Are you ok mate?
Pls don’t ruin the original floor, in the living room, it’s what tourists like to see.
The bath idea in the living room isn’t great, giving American, 1970 roadside sex motel vibes.
The green space next to the house would make a great patio,nobody would long term, rent a place in paradise, without any outdoor space, so good idea!
As you are married to a local, why don’t you buy a small property? Especially as you are thinking long term and investing money in home improvements and renovations, in what’s eventually just a rented space?
Having been to Bali several times, I know that simple village homes can be bought cheap as chips or small plots of land.
You are a great guy, you will make it work! 👍🏽
Hi Muzza cant wait to see it finished will you put in windows cant wait to catch up and chat come over soon with my partner to live
Hi Murray, love ya channel bud. We were just in Bali a few days ago and I kept an eye out for you. Mate, gotta ask where is this property and how much did you pay? Did you lease it?
Of course u can renovate, I wouldn’t like the water coming in and since I’m a princess I’d need a/c please muzza
Window will solve airflow & light issues.. where you said the aircon might go
I'd be a tad concerned about mozzies coming in through the gaps on the ceiling. Not sure how you'd fix that?
Thanks Muzza
Would highly appreciate it if you make a video about the cost of renting/buying a shop in Bali (I understand it depends on the location, so somewhere with tourist traffic).
Also the business starting info anything would be appreciated.
Cheers
I will chat to some business owners soon to discuss the good and bad
Great thanks mate @@MurrayWilkinson1
When i stayed in a Villa in Ubud in March this year.. It was so hot and muggy didn't need hot water..🤣🥵
Good stuff Muzz I have a 25 year Contract on The Maluku Islands Kei kecil ..Good Advise on this Insurance it's a Real Issue Keep Hammering Home this ..Another Topic is Airlines wanting two way tickets which is differcult if you don't have plans..You always can a buy a Ferry from Batam to singapore ..20 bucks
My mother was born on Kai Cecil, she is a Dumatubun. The name of the airport there. Very interested in visiting soon. 😊
Bridig traditional cooling normaly on the roof.
You can buy good houses bali style 3 or 4bedrooms fo 800 mil
Talk to the guys who have lived here for a long time...many expats in Sanur who can advise.
I'm not sure 5 grand will do it, Muzza. I hope it does, even with local prices 🙏🏻
Its gons be dope should do a raffle for the first weeks stay for your subs
Murray, it’s a dump and always will be, no matter what you spend on it. John in Sanur 😊
Well I won't invite you over.. that's easy
Love how your sweating like your in a Furness! I forgot how HOT and humid it is in Bali,
With that much water coming in, yes the plants are great, but I would be concerned about existing rising damp, that not only damages the walls but creates mould. Not trying to put a downer on your project, just putting thoughts in, as I watch your video.
Indoor outdoor flow🫶 water feature
I love how as the video went on you got hotter and hotter and sweat came through, must be humid as hell over there atm
I'd love to see footage of that open roof when it's bucketing down rain
What a bizarre concept
Place looks great!
perhaps I can make a deliberate waterfall down the wall when it rains.. might look bizarre
So just going back what is the toilet and bathroom like? How much are you thinking of marketing it for? Does it have a pool? I am considering doing exactly this? I want to seriously consider moving there, but have so many questions. Is there a way I can contact you direct?
Coming over May next year, but have some questions that I would like to ask you.
muzza@balidonate.org
Why is it called a beach house, is the beach walking distance?
I have a flat Sanur AC shower sit down toilet seperate kitchen lounge bedroom in one big room. It's good . $100 a month.
Hey Murray , what's the deal with this permit I heard about called Pondok Wisata ??
ppbali.com/what-is-a-pondok-wisata/ explains it well. Luckily my wife is Indonesian and our company will be set up through her. There are ways for non-indonesians to run property but it is complicated. I use www.matesrates.cc for all my property and legal consultations
Sorry to be a Debbie Downer but all I can thing of is Dengue Fever with the Mozzies with that open area down stairs. No thank you
They are still doin work Kuta beach and poppies lane still bloody quiet but Bagus bars still cool as long as U don't walk into the ladies toilet lol
A different way of living, it’s a different climate
Hey Muzzer , is this something you own or leasehold
Lease
Maybe I missed it, are you looking to purchase this property, Muzza? Weight up initial costs, reno costs and potential income. Plus on-going maintenance costs.
Yep we did that and rented it for 10 years
@MurrayWilkinson1 good to see you have a good following. When I get back to Bali to be with my fiancè, who I pine for every minute of the day and restless sleep, it would be cool to meet in person. We're based in Sanur, though.
has everything gone up like australia?
Mostly yes, but local products are insanely cheap here
As a money maker probably not so good.
As for a project for making videos excellent
Will TV be mounted on the wall and be a LG?
I’m not sure yet. Why?
@@MurrayWilkinson1my favourite style of TV mate
Nice project but in urgent need of windows, a bit of a cave right now. I personally don’t like this place it needs a lot of money right now and return will only come very far in the future. Just walk away from this place. 🙏 The shower was once a step in shower with a wall around the sides to keep water in, they just closed it up bc they most probably had a drainage problem.
can i come stay ???
extend the plants......but no tub in the main living area!
You were puffing after walking up those stairs. You don't sound in good health. Are you okay?
What do you expect from double vaxxed old buggers
Heart disease. God help him if he needs an OP.
@@MurrayWilkinson1 Tell me you didn't
Surely you would have to enclose that pebbled waterfall area off, otherwise any tikkus and millions of mozzies would be going everywhere in the house. The internal area of the house has to closed off to the wildlife..!!🤣
Your a crazy person lol😅
Maybe collect rainwater
Hati hati Muzza. I know this might sound weird, but the number 4, between Cantonese and Mandarin, means death. Hati hati 🙏🏻 Yes, I know it's not China 😅 It's about numbers.
U go muzzle, put a bath wherever u want, must have a/c
Hey mate, how can I get in touch with you?
muzza@balidonate.org
How are the roosters at 5am
No more clickbait thumbs please
Is Bali in Indonesia?
Yes
@@MurrayWilkinson1 Is Bali a country?
Muzza could you give advice on a deceased estate of a bali retiree?
Contact enquiry@matesrates.cc he is an Aussie that might be able to point you in the right direction
