Beachfront vacation rentals in North Sumatra

Taha’s was a peaceful place to stay in the Telos. Room was as described in Airbnb. Close to local left called Churches. Easy walk to break each day. Food was great and varied, often hot so ask kitchen if you need less spice. Desi prepared our meals each day. A kind and lovely young woman who was a highlight of our stay. We miss you Desi! We only surfed local left. You will need to organise with Taha for trips to other breaks and have some knowledge of surf conditions for other breaks too. No surf guide as such. Snorkelling nice out front and sandy beach. Take booties for walk out to surf, path slippery when wet. Taha’s is a great place if you want to enjoy simple island life in a small village, opportunity to go to church and visit to Telos town. Maybe not so suitable if you want to check other breaks out each day as boat trips soon add up in cost. Had a few days without other surfers but other days busy with surf boats. Thank you Taha and big hello to Desi.

I stayed a week with Kwailitis and his family and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really nice spending time with such a lovely family and Ibu’s cooking is awesome (I paid 100rp/day for 3 meals). If you’d like a really authentic Indonesian experience this is it.

I like this hotel very much. The location is very good. You can drift at the bridge by the river and stay in the hotel directly. It is also very convenient and delicious. The only drawback is that every room has air conditioning and hot water, so you can ask before you check in.

aloha is a great location and near the main break. because its a bit further down the beach, its much more quiet and private. good air-conditioning! unfortunately , the bathroom doorknob was broken amd caused a minor inconvenience during our stay.

My only regret about staying here was not staying longer. Taha makes you feel like part of the family, he makes everything easy and ready to help out whenever he can. The surf is excellent and the best break in the Telos group is a 5 minute walk away, otherwise easy for Taha to arrange boats. The food is excellent and in good quantities, the accommodation is basic but very comfortable (a hot shower in the tropics is not necessary). I can't wait to come back

Our round trip started with this place and what can we say: It was perfect for our needs! The friendliness of the people, the love of the guides to nature and to the numerous animals, the food, the flexibility next to the normal everyday life of the employees - it was just perfect. Our stay and the tour of the jungle have grounded us very much.

There are no other words that can describe how peaceful and relax it is during my stay here, it is so nice to talk for a while with Ibu Ratnauli before I check out Thanks Ibu Ratnauli & Tom (I’m so sorry I left pretty much plastic trash in a trash bag, next time I will use eco-friendly ones)

Our stay at Oseda’s was flawless. To begin with his customer service. David, his wife and the whole crew are very attentive and ready to help however. The room is also amazing - ours was in front of the ocean, minutes away from the best surfing spot. Thank you for the hospitality!

Afulu is an absolute hidden gem 💎! Afulu villas are perfectly positioned, right on the beach and in front of the paddle out channel for the main point break left. The wave itself is challenging in all the right ways! Hollow, powerful and fast. For those wanting a laid back surf experience or learning, there is a number of great peaks straight in front. The accomodation is better than the pictures, so well laid out and has everything you need. The pool area is fantastic and everything is super private. Can’t wait to come back :)!!

In my opinion the best value for money place to stay on sorake beach. If you’re a surfer who wants access to a great wave that is consistent, you got to stay here. The entire Oseda team is great and helpful

We had the most amazing stay. The family are so kind and helped us book a boat to telo island and anything else we needed. The bungalows are even nicer than the pictures and the linen is so fresh and clean, you’ll be sure to have an extremely comfortable nights sleep. The location is amazing, you can watch the surf from the sun loungers and enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. We ended up staying here twice during our time in nias as we loved it so much. Highly recommend, quality and luxurious stay.

We stayed 2 adults and 3 young children for 3 weeks and I must wholeheartedly thank mama Silvi that we have felt quiet, safe, integrated, cared for and respected like nowhere else we have been. A hardworking woman, honored, fair, fighting for her community. Exceptionally respected by everyone who knows her. A person who has left us a deep imprint and an example for our children and for us. In Ina Silvi Cottage there is nothing and nothing else is needed. Luxury is the place, the authenticity of being part of the local community, the human quality of the inhabitants of this paradise that she keeps, serene, so impeccably. The world needs a lot more mama Silvi.

It was just the absolute perfect place to stay in Nias. Stunning views, well thought out apartment, a luxury here for sure. I cannot wait to come back and stay here again! Stephen was extremely kind, helpful and communicative as well! It was a dream apartment with direct views of the point and I loved every second being here. Love the bed, the couch and how comfortable the apartment was! Thank you 🙏🏻
