    The best things about this homestay are the view and the people. Loved sitting on our little terrace, drink tea and enjoy the view over the rice fields. Udis and her team/family are very friendly and help make your stay as comfortable as possible,...

    Good location with an amazing view of the rice fields Great value for money, room was clean and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and wanted to help you in any way: book tours or chauffeur you themselves
  • Fiona

    The location in a rural setting, out of town was lovely and relaxing with good views (especially sunrise). It was convenient for us because we had a car and driver (but the owners can also provide transport if required to local tourist sites etc)....

Company information

Udis Lawus Buchanan, your host, is a true Managgarai woman who grew up in the Ruteng area. In Hobbit Hill she loves to care about her guests personally. As one of the few people in and around Ruteng she speaks English perfectly, as she has lived in Australia many years. So she can give you exclusive travel advice and organize drivers and guides for you too.

Property information

Hobbit Hill is a very special and personally run Guesthouse in a quiet area just a few minutes out of Ruteng city center. It consists of a roomy bungalow with bathroom with hot water shower and a lovely terrace in a lush garden. In the main building you find another three rooms with new comfy beds and terraces too. From here also you enjoy a very nice view to the surrounding mountains. As a new feature Hobbit Hill provides WiFi. Of course all the rooms have mosquito nets too. Free coffee and tea is offered to all the guests. People interested can have dinner at the family table at a reasonable rate. Udis is an excellent cook. For drivers who would like to spend the night at Hobbit Hill we provide a special drivers room.

Neighbourhood information

Hobbit Hill is set in the rural outskirts of Ruteng. As the name of Hobbit Hill suggests, this guesthouse is on the way to Liang Bua, the famous Hobbit Cave. Around Udis' house you find yourself in the midst of paddy fields. Udis is happy to show you the spiderweb ricefields, Ruteng is well known for.
