A bicycle rental service is available at the guest house. The hospitality is great! Easy communication with the host. Robert was great at getting back to me with questions I had. The place is very clean, comfortable bed. I had an excellent meal there. Hot shower. The view is beautiful. The place is located in a more secluded area, not near the city but very close to the ferry.

À la carte and Asian breakfast options with local specialities, fruits and juice are available. At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves Indonesian cuisine. The owners are super nice and welcoming. Also very accommodating, I arrived very late at night from the airport and they came to pick me up from my taxi. Rooms are clean and comfortable with AC and private bathrooms. Breakfast was also very yummy! The location is quite far from central Medan but nice because it is quiet and works perfectly for a one- night stop in Medan before moving to other places.

At the guest house, every unit is equipped with a wardrobe. A patio with an outdoor dining area and mountain views is offered in every unit. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I did the 2 day/1 night Trek. The 2 guides Rian and Santa were the best guides I’ve encountered anywhere in all my years of traveling. They were so kind, funny and thoughtful. The food on the trek was phenomenal and it really was a wonderful experience. The property is great, with a beautiful lush green garden.
