Hars Garden Sumba

Waingapu

Offering mountain views, Hars Garden Sumba in Waingapu provides accommodation and a garden. There is free private parking and the property offers paid airport shuttle service.

The private bathroom is fitted with a shower. At the guest house, units are equipped with bed linen and towels. A truly unique experience. A breathtaking view from every bungalow. The owner Hars has created an organic paradise where 80% of all the meals come straight from his garden. Hars and his Japanese wife are fantastic hosts and organised everything for us including transport to and from the airport , bike hire and three organic meals a day. On top of that we got to learn lots about real organic farming techniques and the special island of Sumba… thanks Hars we will be back.

Lambo Homestay

Waikabubak

Lambo Homestay is situated in Waikabubak and offers a shared lounge. This homestay features air-conditioned accommodation with a patio. The homestay provides garden views, a picnic area and a 24-hour front desk. Great location, excellent value for money, with a family-like atmosphere and valuable tips! We initially booked for only one night but ended up extending our stay by 2 nights. If the room hadn't been already booked, we probably would have stayed longer. It's important to note that there aren't many (affordable) accommodations on Sumba, and the island is still quite "rudimentary" in general. However, Lambo Homestay is a fantastic option if you want to visit the beautiful beaches in the south. It's only about a 15-minute scooter ride away, and they also provide great recommendations, such as the best sunset spots and places for horseback riding. The room is stylishly decorated, the beds are comfortable, and the AC is wonderfully quiet. Yes, you can hear the morning prayers at 5 am, but compromises have to be made on this island. The food is delicious and highly recommended! Additionally, I must mention that one of us had a high fever one evening, and we were genuinely cared for and supported in an incredibly warm and compassionate manner!
