Our Bali huts are handcrafted using premium timber and authentic Alang Alang thatch from Bali, designed to create luxurious outdoor retreats. Ideal for relaxation or entertainment, these structures add value to properties while withstanding tropical climates. Clients can choose DIY kits with clear instructions or opt for professional installation by our qualified team.

We specialise in re-thatching existing Bali huts using fire-retardant and synthetic materials, restoring their original beauty. Our process ensures safety and durability, making us the preferred choice for insurance companies. This service extends the lifespan of structures while maintaining their traditional aesthetic appeal.

Our decking solutions combine functionality with tropical elegance, using high-quality timber and custom designs. Ideal for commercial resorts or residential properties, these decks provide durable outdoor spaces for dining or relaxation, complementing Bali huts and gazebos.

I spent a long time researching the best company to use to build our bali hut. That definitely paid off because I found the very best. We could not be happier. The lovely gentleman who came out to build our hut were careful and professional. The quality is better than any that I looked into. Thank you Hans, Sharna and team for creating paradise in our backyard.

Right from our first visit from Hans we knew we had chosen the right man, he was on time, friendly and easy to talk to. We met Sharna at the display at Burleigh before the big move, she was so lovely, genuine and nothing was too much trouble even though they were preparing to move to a bigger site. Sharna is so prompt with her emails and approachable in every way, which is reassuring.They have a wonderful team too. Our backyard has a totally different feel to it now, a real tropical oasis and we cant wait to spend many summer days relaxing by the pool. We had a few hiccups along the way but

We love our Bali Hut. Thank you Sharna and Hans for your friendliness, and ease to do business with. Our friends are envious so we will recommend they get their huts from you.

Sharna & Hans are a delightful couple who are enthusiastic about your project as if it were their own. For over 20 years we thought we knew what we wanted in a design for our pool area. Hans came up with a totally different design which we immediately realised was going to be outstanding. Hans will design your dream backyard taking time on your property to get the most out of your investment. Their work team, Gio & Garry are professional craftsmen who take pride in their work. We are more than happy with the result and quite stunned with our new backyard.
