Nestled in a sleepy area on the outskirts of Yogyakarta lies Tembi, a quiet community that houses the skilled craftsmens of Warwick Purser's furniture empire, Out of Asia.

Long respected for his contribution to Indonesia's craft community, Purser has just made a new addition to the village. Overlooking the sprawling rice paddies lie four magnificent villas that provide guests with an ultimate sense of tranquility. Resplendent with antiques and crafts from the workshop, Villa Tembi is truly an escapism-seeker's paradise. Each villa is adjoined to a still pool, perfect for relaxing.

Villa Tembi is so splendid, in fact, that Warwick himself took up residence there until he was "kicked out" by Ibnu and Mendez, the tourism project's manager and chef, respectively. One of the villa's first "official" guests is a yoga group coming all the way from California.extensive library of books and dvds.
