Situated in Tuapejat in the Sumatra region, Oinan Beach Villa has a balcony and sea views. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Guests can make use of a garden. My family and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful, newly built villa as the first guests. The house is very bright, lovely decorated and very spacious. It's situated directly on the stunning white sand beach with a wonderful view of the turquoise ocean and nearby little islands. It has two bedrooms, well well-equipped kitchen and large living areas. We were warmly welcomed by a manager at the harbour. All the transportation, boat trips to the islands and the car rental were also easily arranged for us by the owner. The villa is situated in the heart of the main village, so you have easy access to the shops and local warnings. You can watch the fishermen in the morning and easily blend with the local people who are always incredibly friendly.

The air-conditioned holiday home consists of 1 bedroom, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a coffee machine, and 1 bathroom with an a bath or shower and a hair dryer. Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. The property offers sea views. We wanted somewhere different to spend Christmas and came across Valhalla house online, the house was as amazing as it looks in the pictures and was right on the beach that you have to yourself! The house was clean & comfortable and had everything we needed - water, towels, cooking facilities etc! As the island was quite remote we were struggling to find how to get there and get around but Marcelo, the host, went above and beyond to help us out with flights and ferries. His communication was great, and he gave us some great food recommendations as well as a contact for surf lessons, which we all really enjoyed on Christmas day, and was just so helpful with all of the questions we had! Marcelo also put us in touch with a local, Dolman, who drove us to and from the airport, even though the roads were bad he made it so easy for us to get around by providing bikes at a really good price. Overall we had an amazing stay at Valhalla and would recommend it to anyone who wants a relaxing time on a paradise island, surrounded by local culture, beautiful beaches and lots surfing!!

Providing garden views, Rinte Green Village & Bukit Lawang Jungle Trekking in Bukit Lawang provides accommodation, a garden and a bar. Every room is equipped with a terrace with mountain views and free WiFi. Getting to this wonderful place is an adventure in itself. 15’ on a motor and a 20-30’ hike, but that will bring you to a home that settles itself in your heart (Don’t worry porters will be arranged for luggage and you will be guided – Connect on WhatsApp!). The family run hotel was constructed making use of the rocks from the river that curves around it and the wood from the jungle that surrounds it. You feel lost in nature. It has three upstairs rooms ideal for a family and a room downstairs. You’re family. The aunties cook local dishes (surprise menu – delicious banana-tree soup) and harvest from the garden. We planted a tree from the nursery. Cikita is a friendly host to help you. Baik is a senior guide with excellent English to help arrange trekking. The cook also gives a very professional massage. What can we say? Wifi and electricity may be spotty and there is no hamburger. But this place is so unique! Remote, so if you don’t want that, this is not for you. But if you look for a place to remember disconnected from everything. This is it.

Situated in Bukit Lawang, Magpie homestay & jungle trekking especially for guest trekking with us features accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Rooms have a balcony with views of the garden. Amazing hospitality from Asniar and her family. The traditional built house where we stayed is clean with comfortable beds and an en suite outdoor bathroom. The gardens are serene and peaceful. The pretty walk along the canal to town gives you the opportunity to see local life unfold and chat to the friendly children. We have really loved our stay here but our real highlight was the jungle tour they organized for us with Kiteng and Nasir. What an experience to see so many orangutans in the wild, 6 in total. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun to be with. They even taught us how to carve orangutan faces from clay stones they found in the river. The jungle food was wholesome and delicious, especially our evening meal prepared by the talented Putra. The water rafting back to town was a super addition to an already unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Magpie homestay. Their warm hearted spirit has touched our hearts.
