Bagus Bay Homestay

Danau Toba


Rooms in traditional Batak houses overlook fruit trees, a children's playground and a grassy badminton court at this excellent budget resort. The more expensive rooms come with hot water and lake views, and pot plants add a nice green touch. At night its restaurant, which has Batak dance at 8.15pm on Wednesday and Saturday, is a lively spot for travellers to congregate.

It has a well-stocked bar, pool table and motorbikes for rent (per day 70,000Rp).
