- "We arrived in Nias with no expectations, but Site and his team at Jamburae Lodge made our experience truly unforgettable. The food was the best we had in Indonesia, and the warm hospitality was unmatched. The lodge boasts excellent facilities with air conditioning, making our stay super comfortable. We had incredible adventures exploring the waves and immersing ourselves in the local culture. It was the perfect mix of surfing, exploring, and relaxing. We loved Site's passion for preserving his culture, which he combines with modern but sustainable practices, showcasing his great vision for his traditions, culture and conserve his beloved home. A big shout-out to Anton, who made our surf sessions easier and smoother. Jamburae Lodge exceeded all our expectations, and we can't wait to return!"

Cleanliness. Design and decor of the bungalow . Beautiful beach . Good food" - "The staff at Awera are genuinely second to none. They are all incredibly welcoming, helpful and they made our stay what it was - the trip of a lifetime. Special mention must go to Un, Jupen and the activities team for turning me into a pro surfer, helping my husband catch the waves of a lifetime, and the epic snorkelling and mangrove SUPing. Justine was another stand-out; her positive attitude and thoughtful yoga sessions under the rising and setting sun were some of the highlights of our trip. Niko runs an amazing restaurant and the food put out by the chefs was out of this world (esp. the tuna tataki and mie goreng)! From an admin perspective, everything runs so smoothly at Awera. In particularl, the transfer service made us feel like vip’s and made for a particularly stress-free transfer experience."

- "The island is more like a paradise than a common island. The most time we were only guests on the island, so we had an island for us. On the island is everything that you need for a perfect stay. There are bungalows almost on the beach that were very clean, and the beads were very big and comfortable. You also have the common area where you eat tasty meals prepared by the staff. You can also buy some snacks or drinks (but there are no alcoholic drinks due to the law introduced by the province). The staff is very helpful, friendly and smiling. They do the best to make your stay unforgettable (they prepared even the birthday cake for our friend who had a birthday). But the person without that doesn't work is Claudine. She has organized for us the transfer from Bukit Lawamg and then after the stay at Pakambak to Lake Toba (the driver Riki was also very friendly and helpful). She knows everything and is always ready to help you or answer your questions. Really, Claudine made us stay at Palambak Island, easy and simple :) Big thank you, Claudine! I highly recommend this place and Claudine as a person who helps you to make an unforgettable holiday."

Big room with four-poster bed, a balcony and an amazing hot shower. The view of the jungle is amazing. We actually saw an Orangutan from the Bungalows.

They even bake their own bread daily. The jungle tour was awesome. Great guides who entertained us the entire day. We saw orangutans, Thomas leaf monkeys and so much more.
