Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Guesthouse & Jungle Trek

Bukit Lawang

Sumatra Thomas Leaf Monkey Guesthouse & Jungle Trek is set in Bukit Lawang. This homestay offers free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. Bryan is a really knowledgeable (ask him about the jungle, he has great stories), positive and cool guy. His friends, family and him will make sure that you have a nice stay in the cozy jungle hub of Bukit Lawang. The food at the Guesthouse is excellent and the vibe is very good and relaxed . The jungle trek is lead by Rosit aka the magician! Just like Bryan, he has real love for the jungle and its animals. He's a great team of guides working together for Thomas Leaf. On top of that, Rosit can show you magic tricks, love his enthusiasm. You can also do a tour in the area to see how Tempeh, Tofu and Brown Sugar are made and you will stop at a some other places with the nice guidance of Ponido (sorry if the name is not totally correct 😅). I can really recommend it!

SeaGate Bungalows

Sabang

Providing garden views, SeaGate Bungalows in Sabang provides accommodation, a private beach area and a garden. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

At the guest house, every unit has a desk. A balcony with an outdoor dining area and sea views is offered in every unit. The units include a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and free toiletries. We spent five days in this paradise. The bungalow is really large and is surrounded by nature with an amazing terrace overlooking the sea. At night you fall asleep with the sound of the waves. Right in front of the bungalow is one of the most beautiful coral reefs on the island and at sunset everything becomes even more magical thanks to the unique colors and the passage of flying foxes (we also saw a manta ray jumping in front of our window). The place is certainly magnificent, but to make it unique are the two owners Borja and Yuyun who make you feel at home and pay a lot of attention to eco-sustainable tourism. They are also two very good divers (you can rent snorkling equipment) who will be able to advise you on the best experiences the island offers. Since it is not possible to withdraw cash in Banda Aceh province, you can wire them using Wise and they will withdraw the money for you. An unforgettable experience.

Food in the restaurant was tasty, bike rental was easy and the bikes were in great condition. One of our favourite stops during our trip :)
