“A simple, rustic stay that is best suited for nature lovers and travelers looking to unplug and enjoy a peaceful environ”
+Friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to assist us, including providing extra lighting when requested. Beautiful natural surroundings, with the beach only a short walk away. A unique outdoor experience that allows guests to feel close to nature. The gazebos with solid walls were comfortable and included air conditioning and a fan. Little crabs running around my bathroom. Quite entertaining.
−The location was difficult to find, especially at night. The open-air gazebo had no solid walls, which may not be suitable for everyone. No hot water, and the water tasted slightly salty. An animal, possibly a dog or cat, entered our gazebo at night, went through our belongings, and bit into some of our food.

“We would come back in a heartbeat.”
+Shirley. Seclusion. Serenity. It was a home away from home for our family of 5 (3 boys 5,7 & 9). Authentic Sumba experience living among the fishing communities that live along the coast. Did not see one other tourist the entire week we were there and we walked for kms in each direction. Heldeem was our excellent on site tour guide (10 year old who spoke little/no English) and he joined in with the boys teaching them how to catch crabs and point out different wildlife. Thank you Wajonata for everything.
−I wouldn’t say “What I don’t like”. The fact that this place exists and runs is amazing and Marcel and Shirley should be proud of what they have. The only thing to improve would be the power outages. In our situation , world schooling the boys , we rely on WIFI to be consistent for periods of time and then air con on the hot days. It didn’t cause us any exasperation but as I said it is an area to improve.

“Quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Very good value.”
+The host Ibu Sherly was amazing. So flexible and attentive to our family of 5 and accomodating breakfast for when we came back from the surf. Eggs on toast (fried and boiled eggs) as well as the mie goreng (fried noodles) was a real hit at breakfast. We also got bananas with breakfast. One day they must have run out of bananas and we got papaya. That so yummy too. I would pay extra for papaya which we did ask for at dinner as well. So yum too! The mie goreng (fried noodles) with vegetables and egg was really good. Full of vegetables. For dinner we also liked the opor ayam (Chicken coconut curry) and the fried fish (ikan bakar) with a plate of mixed vegetables (sayuran campur). Also the chicken soup (sop ayam). So lovely right on the beach. We took our bean bags and sat out on the beach at sunset. So quiet and beautiful. And we didnt have any problems with mosquitos inside our hut and didnt need the nets. Maybe depends on the season. We were here in early December. But you need insect repellant for outside because of sand flies so pack that and you will be fine. Also bring lots of sunscreen becauae itnis so expensive in Indonesia. Surfed out the front at the reef and at the pier. Lo

“It is okay.”
+Close to nature
−The clarity of room descriptions and what are included in the price paid, the descriptions are different before and after the booking, lack of communication between owner and the staff about the issues

“All was great, we had a fabulous time 👍👌”
+We were in the open space villa. We loved the room proximity to the beach, perfect! Serli the manager was so kind, and cooked amazing food with reasonable price. The hotel is very remote but we were well looked after, so all was good. Loved the remoteness ❤️❤️. Good strong wifi 👍
−It was very windy and rained real hard one evening, the bamboo blind was up to no good, even the roof was leaking a little, but I think it was exceptionally windy and rainy that evening.

“Idéal pour déconnecter”
+Un lieu vraiment isolé pour déconnecter de tout. Bon petit dej et super accueil
−Pensez à prévoir un peu de nourriture et autre si vous ne voulez pas vous déplacer. Le seul warung est à 25min de route
