Vanilla Cottage Tetebatu

The room was super comfortable and the family were really lovely. Hir and his brother took us on a walk through the waterfalls and monkey sanctuary one day. The other his brother went with us to bamboo weaving, pottery and shawl making. The food was excellent and the family were so nice and accommodating. Would stay again ten times over!

Nothing!!

Excellent value. Lovely hosts. Great coffee.

The bed could do with better pillows and sheets.

Beautiful place to stay. Nice rooms with a very nice Garden where you can relax. The best part of this accommodation is the Host familiy. Very nice people. I extended my stay after staying two nights because of that.

Excellent bungalow stay with Hir and his family. You live in a blooming garden and enjoy intense peacefulness. Hir can also connect you to the best local guides for tours. Plus they have a puppy now which is absolutely adorable

That I couldn’t stay longer

We had an amazing stay at Hir and Mu’s. They are wonderful hosts. The homemade food was delicious, and was the best we had in Indonesia (fresh grilled fish, pancakes, fresh local salads…)! I would definitely come back!

Nothing, everything was great

It is a lovely remote place with a small but beautiful garden with a lot of plants, flowers, fruits and animals. I especially enjoyed reading in their hammock. The host (Hir) and his family are very friendly people. We were offered several options on what to do and he would guide us. We also had a 'cooking class' and helped them to prepare local food for our dinner. We were only charged the price of the food as listed in the menu and for the cooking classes we should give them what we felt like paying.

As we were only two people in a two bedroom apartment, we had enough space for everything. Nonetheless, our room (2 bedrooms + bath) are quite small if you come in a group of four people, as there will be almost no space for your luggage. Also, fyi, it is entrance door → bedroom 1 → bedroom 2 → bathroom, therefore the second two people might be interrupted in their privacy. Nothing bad but something to be aware of: getting to the cottage from the street is very steep and too narrow for a car. It is doable by scooter.

Hir and his family are just the sweetest people. It really feels like home. Did a several hour hiking tour with Hir and his brother and it was just great.

We loved everything! Hir and his family are so welcoming. Hir took us on a wonderful tour, showing us the local area and foraging for edible fruit and plants. The food was AMAZING - we loved the curry, gado gado and olah olah. It’s quiet, peaceful and located 500m from the monkey forest and right next to a waterfall. The room was simple but had everything we needed. The garden is full of beautiful plants including those edible fruits and spices. There’s free tea and coffee all day

Nothing!
