Croissant Villa

In 1980 French heiress and Balinese dance aficionado Agnes Montenay commissioned Wijaya to design a cottage in the former garden of musicologist Colin McPhee, adjacent to Villa Made. Wijaya had always loved the colonial 'Queenslander' style of Australian country house, wrapped with wide verandahs; this became the inspiration for the house. The interiors are a unique Franco-Javo-Balinese blend. Architect Peter Muller and his wife stayed in Croissant Cottage when there designing and building the legendary Amandari hotel just up the road.
