This Dutch-colonial-style retreat consists of attractive cottages and rooms shaded by fruit trees and overlooking the Sungai Deli. It's one for those wanting respite from the city smog while remaining within striking distance (12km) of Medan. It has a wonderfully tranquil setting, with a pool and a lovely restaurant that uses spices sourced from its garden.
