What our friends are saying

Elizabeth Chadwick, Bali Standards Retreat 2023
“I would like to thank Jacky, Wayan and all the girls at the shop and Pondok for a great holiday.
From being met at the airport to being dropped off to go home, it has been a whirlwind of fun and laughter. To spend time with Jacky and a group of like minded “girls” we have had a ball.
Every day was a new adventure, new sights, new things to do, to try, to taste and to make. We were never rushed, and enjoyed the moment. Food was fabulous everywhere we ate. We did classes on batik, drawing with the tjanting tool, wax stamping the fabric, using brushes to apply the wax and painting with dyes, and we came home with so many projects.
We enjoyed the afternoon swims and cocktails by the pool. Who can forget the Moose Milk! We were from different states of Australia and New Zealand, with an interest in quilting to tie us all together, and we made friends we will never forget.
We laughed till our sides ached and we’re sad to say goodbye.”

Judy Leong, Bali Standard Retreat 2023
“Best retreat ever. Lots to learn, see, eat, play, shop, and new friends to share every experience. Days are never rushed like other tours, quite relaxing and Jacky and her ladies are so wonderful and caring of us.”

Sue Murray, Java Retreat 2023
“The retreat was well-organised - accommodation, transport, meals, activities.
Variety of batik experiences, sightseeing - temples and mountains - lovely ladies on tour plus friendly, helpful staff.”

Jeannie Balemi, Java Expedition September 2023
“Everything was so well-organised and fun, with so much care taken to make sure everyone had a really enjoyable experience. We were given a great cultural and creative time and so well-fed.
The whole time exceeded my expectations and I will certainly try to return for another Wacky Jacky’s retreat.”

Wanting to visit Bali and enjoy some wonderful friendships!”
Hello, we’re the
Wacky Jacky’s family! ♥️
We’re a family-owned, Australian company based in Brisbane.
It started with an idea.
An idea to bring Indonesian beautiful batik to Australia, while offering the nation’s beautiful textile culture as an experience.
Now, we’ve become a team of super girls who run a batik shop, a cafe, and retreats across Asia and Australia.
