If you are scared of wildlife, animals, do not have a sense of adventure and is not respectful please do not book this place. The property is fully off grid and the island is wild. There are no coffee shops or restaurants near-by just a couple of hotels which you can access.
Direct flight from Bali into Tambolaka airport takes about 1.5 hours. It is then a 2 hours scenic drive to the property.
Between sunset and sunrise in the evenings and mornings only it is best to cover yourself with mosquito spray or wear suitable clothing. We provide natural mosquito spray and oils that prevent mosquitoes from biting. There is malaria on the island. Luckily the property has less mosquitoes than other parts of Sumba. If you start to get any malaria symptoms just go to Sumba Foundation clinic to get a small blood sample. They have medication there.
