Bali and Eva Midlands

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Bali and Eva was nothing short of exceptional from start to finish—a definitive five-star experience in every sense. The owners have done a phenomenal job curating a world-class luxury retreat right in the heart of the Midlands. Every detail of the accommodation reflects impeccable taste, comfort, and thoughtful design, making it the perfect setting to unwind in style. Beyond the beautiful property, the hospitality truly sets this place apart. The staff were genuinely warm, attentive, and eager to ensure every part of our stay was effortless. Paired with consistently fantastic food that exceeded expectations at every meal, it made for an unforgettable getaway. Bali and Eva delivers an all-round masterclass in luxury hospitality. We cannot recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back."

The drive up to reception is quite long (felt like about 2-3km) but don’t worry, you’re on the right track! You’ll meet several cows on that road too so don’t go too fast! Overall an idyllic setting.
