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. We had an amazing stay at Har's place. The location is nothing short of dreamy, with amazing views of the valley hills just in front. Har has constructed all the houses (I recall around 3-4 now) by himself, you can check on his IG for more detail on how he built them! All of them are really comfortable and unique, following the local architecture, blending with nature and each of them providing a different experience. Har is an expert and consultant on organic farming and produces his own veggies that he uses to cook the most fantastic breakfasts you will ever have, super yummy and different everyday, with the plus of overviewing the views directly from your stay. Don't forget also to order dinner from him, much better than eating anywhere else, every meal was amazing. Har always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable, showed as around his plantation (he plants to reforest the area with a thousand fruit trees!) and the best: he gave us the best tips on the island, pointing spots that are not even in Google Maps and ready to explore. Think on pristine waterfalls, empty beaches, beautiful local villages, hills, etc. Please visit Har and Sumba before it gets ruined by the evils of mass tourism, and please visit with an open mind, it's raw, wild, authentic, and that's why is missing facilities compared with other destinations, but that what make it so unique and special. Thanks so much Har, we cannot wait to visit you again, cannot wait to see your new creations, houses, farm and forest!

With mountain views, Morinda Villa and Resto is set in Waingapu and has a restaurant and free shuttle service. The property was built in 2016 and features air-conditioned accommodation with a balcony. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. 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.
