About the Homestay

My wife and I previously lived in Bali, Indonesia for 3 years and we were inspired by the beautiful culture, lush greenery, and wonderful coastline scenery. Thus, we call our homestay "Pieces of Bali Homestay." Our homestay is the perfect getaway spot for anyone who wants to visit Ottawa, but would love to retreat to somewhere calm. We're close to the Gatineau Hills, 3 golf courses, surrounding parks and bike paths, Musée de la Guerre (War Museum) Canada, Musée de l'histoire Canadian (Canadian Museum of History) and a lot more. If you are coming by car, we have free parking space in our driveway. Our place is also accessible by bus. The bus stop is only 2 minutes away from our home which runs approx. every 30 minutes. It would take only 25 minutes to go to downtown, Ottawa.

We really loved hosting Mattea. She was always considerate with us and the other guests, took care to keep her space clean, and simply was great to socialize with. Don't hesitate to accept any booking request from Mattea.

Dear Stefan and Arya.
We have no words to thank you for your hospitality. But above all, the care and affection in which you took care of our daughters . They came home happy and grateful for all the attentions you had with them, they really made a connection with you both.
Finding your home was the best that happened to them. Excellent hosts, thank you for everything.
it will be a pleasure to have you here if you ever come to visit.
Be assure that if they ever return to Gatineau it will be with you.Wish you the best.

Hi Oliver,
thanks for acknowledging it. I thought you guys were good people who were easy to get along with, and I hope anyone reading this can see that you guys (or you alone) should be welcome in anyone's house as you respect people's privacy and treat others' homes like your own.
Be well
