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.

At the guest house, units are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. Everything! It was clean, and the bathroom was spacious! So cool how Hars is building everything himself on his property. The view of the mountains is just… wow! I stayed for two nights, but I easily could’ve stayed longer. Breakfast was also delicious, with fresh fruit from the garden! The fact that there’s no air conditioning might take some getting used to, but I slept really well — the breeze flows nicely through the room thanks to the way it’s built. I’m very curious to see how things will look in a few years with all the plans Hars still has. It’s hard to imagine this place becoming anything but a hidden gem!

Located in Waingapu, Casa Kandara features a garden and bar. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool.

At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves Indonesian cuisine. Dining options are available close to Casa Kandara. I spent 3 nights at Casa Kandara and would like to have stayed more. It's a really nice peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff, the rooms are cleaned each day and the bed comfortable. The breakfast overlooking rice paddies is excellent and the pool area is nice to read a book or cool down during a hot day. The airport transfer is a bonus too. Thanks Casa Kandara.

The units at the guest house come with a seating area. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and slippers, units at the guest house also have free WiFi, while selected rooms will provide you with a terrace. At the guest house, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The view from this villa is amazing. We can see the hills, river, sunrise and sunset glow. The atmosphere is very peaceful, some animals live together in this beautiful place. Breakfast is also nice. We enjoyed Nasi Goreng, Banana pancake and cutting fruits with nice view. At the departure day, even if we leave the villa very early in the morning 5:00am, hotel staff prepared us light breakfast for taking away. Staffs are very kind and friendly. Freddy helped us very much and took us to a lot of beautiful places. He knows a lot of attractive spot in Sumba, so we do not know much about this island at first time, but we could really enjoyed here because of his kind support. We could have a really nice time. The style of this villa seems like living in harmony with nature, so we felt it very comfortable. We will comeback this place if we have a chance to visit Sumba island. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
