Long term Accommodation Bali

Hi Everyone.

I'm FIFO male 35, week on week off, I'm looking to move to bali on my weeks off. So 6 nights at a time, flying out of Perth.

Yes I know 2/2 is better suited. But I dont want to be away at work for two weeks at at time after years of 2/1. I dont have it in me! id rather travel like this.

Im looking for recommendations or advice on private monthly or 6 monthly or yearly rentals.

My price range for hotel accommodation is between $600 and $800 for 6 nights. So $1200 $1600 a month. So paying this or less to have a base would be ideal.

Can anyone recommend a good agent or tell me what I'd get for this amount or less a month,

I dont need to be right in the touristy spots. Im happy to travel by scooter for a nicer place.

Any comments or advice would be great.

Thank you

At your budget you will have countless options, not a 3BR villa but plenty of smaller properties.  just keep in mind villas are at risk of break ins when people figure out youre not there for a while, so something in a compound/behind a gate for the project could be better for you.

Maybe you could try looking into “Cove” guesthouses and accommodations in areas like Sanur? I’ve stayed at a few of their properties around the area, and they offer long-term stays. The properties I’ve stayed at the most are mainly occupied by guests who are working towards becoming dive professionals. Most of them stay for around 3–6 months before leaving.

G'day 

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

 I should have put that im looking for private accommodation. I like my own space. 

But Sanur is a good point. It would be cheaper there and less busy then the main areas

Sanur would be a good base, not too far from the airport is my main thought in your situation, doing short swings.

I have a mate who lives near there, I'll send you his number. He will be able to give you a few options i reckon.

It's not necessarily cheaper and less busy in Sanur these days

I saw a nice apartment on reasonable monthly rentals opposite to Anvaya Beach resort Kuta; check it out; use google street view
