Maruba inn

Tuk Tuk

The homestay offers certain units that feature mountain views, and the units come with a private bathroom and a wardrobe. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels.

The nearest airport is Sisingamangaraja XII International Airport, 132 km from the homestay. First of all, I'll write about the room: The rooms are new, clean, with a clothesline and a closet, hot water and large and comfortable beds. The views of the lake are impressive, and also the balconies of Maruba Inn. As for the workers, I can only give them a 10. Ita, Henry, Lina and Bel are the best Tuk Tuk hosts and make you feel part of their family. The Maruba restaurant near the guesthouse has delicious food at a good price. We will definitely be back, an incredible place to stay in Lake Toba.
