Bungalow vacation rentals in North Sumatra

Taha’s was a peaceful place to stay in the Telos. Room was as described in Airbnb. Close to local left called Churches. Easy walk to break each day. Food was great and varied, often hot so ask kitchen if you need less spice. Desi prepared our meals each day. A kind and lovely young woman who was a highlight of our stay. We miss you Desi! We only surfed local left. You will need to organise with Taha for trips to other breaks and have some knowledge of surf conditions for other breaks too. No surf guide as such. Snorkelling nice out front and sandy beach. Take booties for walk out to surf, path slippery when wet. Taha’s is a great place if you want to enjoy simple island life in a small village, opportunity to go to church and visit to Telos town. Maybe not so suitable if you want to check other breaks out each day as boat trips soon add up in cost. Had a few days without other surfers but other days busy with surf boats. Thank you Taha and big hello to Desi.

Right from the beginning Taha and his family made us feel very welcome and at home. The picked us up at the Ferry, welcomed us with smiles and took care of us the entire stay. The food cooked by Desi, mama Jonas and mama Desi was DELICIOUS! Always a great variety of their local dishes. The cabin is al you need on the Island, your own private space surrounded by palm trees. Sunrise, sunset and the surf never disappointed. I would 10 out of 10 always recommend this place! I can’t wait to go back myself.

We had the most amazing stay. The family are so kind and helped us book a boat to telo island and anything else we needed. The bungalows are even nicer than the pictures and the linen is so fresh and clean, you’ll be sure to have an extremely comfortable nights sleep. The location is amazing, you can watch the surf from the sun loungers and enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. We ended up staying here twice during our time in nias as we loved it so much. Highly recommend, quality and luxurious stay.

We stayed 2 adults and 3 young children for 3 weeks and I must wholeheartedly thank mama Silvi that we have felt quiet, safe, integrated, cared for and respected like nowhere else we have been. A hardworking woman, honored, fair, fighting for her community. Exceptionally respected by everyone who knows her. A person who has left us a deep imprint and an example for our children and for us. In Ina Silvi Cottage there is nothing and nothing else is needed. Luxury is the place, the authenticity of being part of the local community, the human quality of the inhabitants of this paradise that she keeps, serene, so impeccably. The world needs a lot more mama Silvi.

Very nice welcome by Rius, the local manager, the setting is incredible... an almost deserted island in a beautiful archipelago, many snorkeling opportunities with unspoiled funds. The bungalows are simple but perfect in the setting, and the on-site team takes care of everything. A few unforgettable days...

My only regret about staying here was not staying longer. Taha makes you feel like part of the family, he makes everything easy and ready to help out whenever he can. The surf is excellent and the best break in the Telos group is a 5 minute walk away, otherwise easy for Taha to arrange boats. The food is excellent and in good quantities, the accommodation is basic but very comfortable (a hot shower in the tropics is not necessary). I can't wait to come back

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Ekas bungalow! Amazing view of the lake it was so peaceful. The restaurant a short walk away was great right on the lake. Eka very kindly offered us his kayaks and paddle board which was great. We did a motorbike trip around the lake too would recommend. Overall highly recommend, we loved the bungalow, location and very friendly host.

Had a Nice stay ! Thank you
