Thread: Affordable long-term rentals in Sanur??

Thanks Chili - I miss a decent garden though... but at least a small one is easier to look after :D

Hi Chilli

The house has already been rented now, so I wouldn't like to go nosing around and taking pictures :oops:

That was a bargain and in this area I don't hear or see of many like that. You visited us in our old house and I can tell you that cost 30 million per year. However at the time we came to move there was nothing else available in the same complex for less that 50 million and that was only 2 bedrooms. Many of the houses there up for rent have been empty for ages though. Probably because they are asking too much. There were a few cheaper ones but they were snatched up before we knew we had to move.

The house we are in now is 3 bedrooms, 2 floors and 25 million per year. It was the cheapest house we could find in this area. But it needs a bit of money spending on it to fix the roof and deal with the damp...(even though it is a new house!) you can see pics of it and the little garden in FB.

hai nutmeg...
first of all, welcome to the forum :)

bali is small, but prices for houses to rent(or buy) differ a whole lot.
depending on where you wanna live on Bali (east,west,north or south).
for example : upnorth one can find a house for as cheap as 15j a year, downsouth will be a whole lot more expensive.
Why do you want to live on bali? I think it depends on what you're looking for, decides a bit of where to live...

It's a good idea to decide which part of Bali you want to live in first. If you look for places on the internet, they are usually more expensive. Your best bet would be to come here stay in a hotel for a while and then just asking people if they know of any places for rent.

Hi Nutmeg I think if the house is being marketed to tourists you are going to pay more for a start. So I wouldn't look at agents or the newspaper. I found my house just driving around and looking for signs on fences, windows etc for contract. 25 million was the cheapest house I found in this area. My next choice would have been 35 million. I was chatting to a friend last weekend and she was telling me about someone she knows who rents a house for 25 million inc small pool! Her own simple little house is 9 million.... unfortunately she doesn't know of anything going at the moment as I just asked for someone else.
