Welcome to Bigwater Imports
The warm and inviting atmosphere of Bali has long been a favourite destination for Australian travellers. With its tropical climate, stunning scenery and friendly people, it’s no wonder that people keep coming back to the island paradise to relax and enjoy themselves. At Bigwater Imports, we can bring a piece of the exotic experience of Bali back to you. With a range of beautifully handcrafted water features which come in Limestone, Concrete and Lombok stone. We also have a variety of statues available, some made of brass and terracotta, and many others being delicately hand carved using materials such as stone, lava rock, and wood. Of our stone carved imports, we have ancient oriental guards, special Balinese character creations, Buddha’s of many shapes and sizes and other unique creatures. We have amazing original artwork from artists that show the stunning landscapes and beaches of the island, as well as detailed Buddha paintings and other pieces that capture the feel of Bali.you can be guaranteed to find something that will add that Balinese feel to your home.
Established in 2004 by Alan and Kerry Guppy, the family run Bigwater Imports is more than just a provider of fine crafts and wares, but an important supporter of the Balinese community. Still recovering from the series of tragic events that hit the region over the past few years, Bigwater Imports aims to assist the Balinese people by putting money back into the community from the sales of their imported products.
10% of all our sales go towards helping the children in a small village in Lovina, located in the north of Bali. Already we have helped build a classroom for children to have their lessons, connected electricity, provided a computer, and built toilets and showers so children no longer have to bath in the river. We have also helped a young boy from Lovina named Tory, who now attends University to become a teacher. Already he teaches up to 40 children of many ages to speak English, guaranteeing a positive start to their future. Tory’s bamboo home had also been damaged and was falling down, so to further help him we have built him a brick house to make his life easier.
A large part of our success is greatly contributed to our Bali Manager, Wisma. Without his honestly and loyalty to us we could not be where we are today. Wisma and his family are lovely people and if you are travelling to Bali we highly recommend him as a reliable driver and tour guide.
