Hospitals, Nannies, Taxis, & Kids Clubs
A holiday here just got a little bit easier with these savvy tips. Want to hire a stroller, get a taxi, or find the best nanny in town? Maybe you want to do a little good this holiday and visit an orphanage?
We know who you need.
Bali Pool Fence Hire
So you’ve rented the villa, which is about as close to heaven as you’re ever going to get. Alas there’s nothing between your little one and the swimming pool. Fear not! Bali Pool Fence Hire will install an attractive bamboo fence with a kid-proof safety latch so you can actually relax on your holiday.
Bali Baby Hire
Let’s face it, there’s nothing glamorous about waiting at the luggage carousel for a portacot and a booster seat so why not just hire when you get to Bali? You can book before arrival so everything is ready the minute you walk in. Day tripping, anyone? They also have English speaking drivers with cars equipped with baby seats.
Bali Baby Hire, p. +62 898 070 646. Open Mon- Fri 9am–5pm & Sat 9am–1pm.
Bali Nanny
Calling Mary Poppins! Need a night out or want to take a long lunch without the kids? Bali Nanny is run by an Australian couple who have reliable and experienced English speaking nannies who can entertain, feed, and even swim with your kids so you can have some guilt-free time out!
The Cubby House Kids Club
The Cubby House Kids Club has a strict no parents policy, so wave your little ones goodbye at the door of this safe and action-filled kiddie paradise. The Cubby House is jam-packed with Lego, computers, arts and crafts, movies, and best of all, there’s a fantastic and healthy menu so you don’t have to worry about your kids running out of fuel.
