Welcome to the Online Home of Bali Beach Imports!

Bali Beach Imports is a family business based in Mandurah, West Australia.  It originated way back in the early 1980's when Bruce and Barbara Cresswell first traveled to Bali, Indonesia and were captivated by the friendliness and culture of the Balinese people together with their skill to make traditional and tourist orientated handicrafts.

Many Trips later they decided to import goods in a small way and this has grown into the business as it is today.  With two retail outlets and a growing container sale business, they can mix their love of Bali and Indonesia with a truly unique business.

Bali Beach Imports operates the two divisions separately.   The retail side is based on the two storefront locations.  Mandurah, adjacent to the Sands Shopping Centre in Anstruther Road and  Rockingham, at Rockingham City Regional Shopping Centre.

The Container Sales are operated from our office in Mandurah.   Click Here for contact information.  Wholesale enquiries should be made through the office.   We also offer a unique service to the public.  We will arrange to transport your goods from Bali to West Australia at attractive rates.  You buy the goods in Bali, we will arrange packing, fumigation if necessary, government fees, freight, quarantine and customs entries and delivery to your door in West Australia.     We handle all the hassles, all you do is go out and buy what you like, obtain a quote from us and have it deliverd it to our Bali warehouse.

We personally buy all our goods.  We concentrate on items that are different and appealing to the eye, inexpensive, and obviously of good quality.  At our Container Sales we go to shopping centres around the state and situate either in a vacant shop or a mall situation for a usual period of a week and sell goods at lower than store prices.   Click here to locate our next Container Sale.

As retailers ourselves we understand how difficult it is for the small guy to compete and it is our policy never to flood the market with any item that a nearby retailer stocks.   We usually limit the number of any particular item so it is clearly a one off sale and after each item is sold, there are no more. In this way we do not impact severely on any one retailer.  In fact we bring huge numbers of people to the centres we operate from for the period of our sale.  We are always looking for sites to hold our container sales from and welcome enquiries in this regard.

We can arrange special orders of goods from Indonesia.  Our staff in Bali are extremely reliable and have worked for us for many years.     Anything from a dozen matching tropical shirts for your staff or party wear for 200 for example we can do it for you.

We will  bring the following to you in these pages, and invite contributions from anyone so inclined.

Travel tips.  What you can expect at any given time of the year.  An up to date information sheet on what the tourist brochures DON'T tell you!  The good and the bad.  But remember the most important thing you will ever need to take to Bali is...  your sense of humor!

Exchange Rates.  An up to date link to the best rates and the best places to get them...  The rip off merchants and the good guys!

In the time honored tradition of how the Balinese stuff up the english language, we will offer our "Stick Your Memories" page!  This is where you can send us pics... no.. not naked ones....  See how some people can't think of anything else?  But send us holiday pics that embarrass friends... or enemies!   And get some back in return!  (Oh,  we reserve the right to make tons of money from any of the pics submitted.  Well,  you can't blame us for trying!)  Send us the quaint sign you see in the street,  like the "Hotel Lusa".  Always wanted to stay at a hotel like that!! Or the common,  "Don't step the grass!"

A Hotel Rating Board.  Where you can rate the hotel you stay at.  Warn other West Aussies or heap praise on the good ones.  We all want to know the great places to stay, and the ones to stay away from!   Maybe ask advice about a hotel you are being 'pushed' into by your travel agent.

A restaurant and bar rating board.  Where you can tell people about the great places you eat or drink at.  What the staff are like, the prices, the cleanliness.  And again, ask about places you've heard about.

A General Bali Message Board. Where you can meet people, leave messages, learn more about Bali and Indonesia.   It can be accessed while you are on holiday even.  Tell us what your trip is like, or when you get home.   Or just keep in touch with Bali until your next trip!

A Chat Line.  Where you can find sex... Just joking!  Where you can meet people again of the same age and same outlook.

A Surf Page.  Where you can find all the top places to surf.  Beginners and those more advanced.   Links to the Weather, swell, and tide conditions.

We thank you for visiting our online home and hope you will be interested enough to surf our site!!

No one has made a primarily Western Australian's Bali Page to date, and we hope that you will think it a good idea and help us to make it a better one.  We welcome anyone who has input of any kind.

As always, we invite your comments.

Enjoy your stay at Bali Beach Imports!

Yours sincerely,
