Holiday rentals in Pulo Sanggar

Some of my favorite moments during my trip to Asia were in the hammock on the porch! Great staff…very helpful. They set up a trek for me which was great. Very basic room but comfortable. It is a little noisy when they play music downstairs but earplugs solved that for me. It is a beautiful village! I would have liked to stay longer.

Clare’s jungle retreat is absolutely stunning—a true hidden gem surrounded by nature. Getting there is part of the adventure: a scenic 10-minute walk from the drop-off point, where you’ll likely have some lovely interactions with locals along the way. Porters are available to assist with luggage for a small fee, which we highly recommend. Upon arrival, you’re warmly welcomed by the effervescent Tia, who provides a fantastic introduction to the accommodation, local community, and available excursions. The on-site café is a highlight, serving delicious meals, with the banana chocolate spring rolls being an absolute must-try! The views from the accommodation are breathtaking, with the added bonus of being away from the busy village center and right on the edge of the jungle. Whether you’re relaxing on your veranda or enjoying a cold Bintang at the café, watching the tubers float down the river is an experience in itself. We loved it so much we tried to extend, but they were booked!

This is a lovely self-contained house with three bedrooms and a living area around a central open air courtyard, it was perfect for us as a family of six. It's located in a residential area rather than with all the tourist lodgings along the river (which we really liked), but really easy walking distance to restaurants by the river. Only downside was proximity to a loud mosque for an early wake up! Yoyok was a wonderful, friendly host who helped us with everything. We had a great jungle trek to see orangutans nd tube down the river, and saw elephants at Tangkahan. Activities are quite expensive but I believe this is unavoidable as it's the same price for all visitors. We loved Bukit Lawang, thank you Yoyok!

An absolutely wonderful place to experience Bukit Lawang, the staff is wonderful, and the food is quite nice. If you are going in a jungle trek, ask for Josef!
