Indra Valley Inn Bukit Lawang features a garden, terrace, a restaurant and bar in Bukit Lawang. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests.

All rooms come with a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while selected rooms here will provide you with a balcony and some have mountain views. We had a fabulous 6 night stay with Obiwan and his fabulous team. Such a special experience for me returning to Bukit Lawang after 27 years. First day we sat on our Indra Valley river view room balcony and watched two orangutang in trees on the other side of the river. We were treated again a few days later with two more orangutang providing us with balcony entertainment. Being located further up the river, at Indra Valley you have the advantage of a jungle outlook from the hotel directly over the river. We did the overnight jungle tour, family of 4 with 13 and 16 year old kids which was a fabulous experience and included seeing more orangutang, many monkeys, a magnificently cooked meal that night and the tube down the river the next day. Kids absolutely loved it. Obiwan and his team are exceptional hosts, we were very well looked after. Thank you Obiwan, Shelley Tom Ben and Annabelle

Located in Krui, a few steps from Mandiri Beach, Rumah Nalu surf camp provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a private beach area and a terrace. The inn also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Mylan and Megan and staff have made our surf trip a fantastic experience. They helped us out with boards, scooters and even took us for a car ride to chase some surf. The food was excellent with a variation of western food like banana pancakes and Asian food including tuna and Asian cuisine. Mylan native language is English so there was no problems explaining what our needs were with quick responses before and during our stay. I definitely recommend the stay here with the location right in the middle of all the surf breaks. See you soon guys! We will be back for sure!

The owners are lovely and very helpful.
