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!

Located in Waingapu, Casa Kandara features a garden and bar. This guest house provides free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a year-round outdoor pool.

At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves Indonesian cuisine. Dining options are available close to Casa Kandara. I spent 3 nights at Casa Kandara and would like to have stayed more. It's a really nice peaceful place with friendly and helpful staff, the rooms are cleaned each day and the bed comfortable. The breakfast overlooking rice paddies is excellent and the pool area is nice to read a book or cool down during a hot day. The airport transfer is a bonus too. Thanks Casa Kandara.
