Crow's Nest

I think this is the best homestay near Tuapejat. It is right at the beach, rooms with AC, wifi and hot water, delicious breakfast with fresh bread and staff that can help arranging tours and scooters. Yes, it might need a bit of maintenance but it did not bother my stay. In general staying at a homestay in Tuapejat is the more affordable alternative compared to these luxurious resorts in the nearby smaller islands. A bit more low key with less luxury but it does give a much better experience of the local culture including delicious Indonesian food and plenty of options of boat and scooter tours. So if you decide to stay at a homestay, adjust your expectations and the Crow’s Nest is the best option.

A bit more maintenance would help. And in general be aware of mosquitoes.

Fabulous! Loved the location on the beach. Icha made the best breakfasts. Only a 15 min walk from the port. Great wifi.

That I had to leave!

The breakfast was great, and the beach view as well! Clean comfy room that look like the pictures.

The room was not cleaned daily, the walls are like paper, you basically feel like the people in the room next door are in your room! (You literally hear them going to the bathroom). Also, not allowed to go on bikini on the beach in front, you need to walk a bit, which is not terrible but not very convenient. Restaurants are quite "far" to walk to lunch and evening. Also, you don't see the surroundings on the pictures but it is very noisy (a lot of construction) and not well developed/not very clean.

Easily the best location from all the homestays we saw on the island, beautiful beach in front of the house. Decent bule style breakfast (pancakes, toast, avocado/egg sourdough sandwich, plenty of fruits). Paddleboard available for guests. The owner helped us with renting motorbikes. The staff is lovely, helped us with chartering a boat at decent price to go back to Padang when the fast feery got cancelled:)

The bathroom could use a bit of a do-over.

Located just on the best beach at Sipora island. They help us to organize scooter and were very helpful for for every question we have. Breakfasts were the best in whole our indonesian trip. Best place to spend few days and chill up in quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

We had 4 nights booked here and then we returned for 2 more! The owner can help you with everything(trips,scooter,ferry tickets) The place is right on the beach so easy to do daily trips around the islands! I would also say that the beach in front of the house and walking maybe 10 mins away is one of the best around the area.Breakfast is delicious and made every morning by the host. For the asking price i believe it's perfect! The rooms are basic rooms so don't expect any luxury but we enjoyed our stay here and would be back no doubt !

Would be nice if the owner can come up maybe with a deal with one of the restaurants so you can order dinner there as it's really lovely place to also have a dinner

The location is awesome, the host (ibu Icha) was helpful in every aspect, the room was clean and comfy, and the breakfast variable and delicious

Everything was super
