Homestay Gunung Tujuh

West Sumatra


Homestay Gunung Tujuh is one of the few places to stay in Pelompek village. Overlooking the market and a block away from the main street, it has spacious rooms with Indonesian bucket showers, and the proprietress fusses over her guests like a mother hen in spite of the language barrier. It can organise guides to Gunung Tujuh from 300,000Rp.
