  Extra Information  


Power: Our pricing is based on 9 hours generator running time per 24 hours. This means power is on at all time when guests are at the camp - except at night (after lights out).

Internet & Phone

There is no phone signal in the area but we have internet facilities. Use of the wifi internet is available when the power is on.

Shop: Guests can buy some snacks and drinks / beer at the camp - although generally it's recommended to either bring all snacks with you (from Padang). Alternatively, let us know what you'd like an we'll make sure we have it in stock.

Surfboard accessories bring everything you can with you, athough there is a surf shop in Padang that you can buy accessories from..

Activities The area is truly stunning and just taking in the scenery is something to cherish. Guests often will just enjoy the local landscapes and visit the neighbouring village of Pei Pei is also a must. The people are warm and welcoming. The local kids will often have a game of football on Sunday's - and our guests are welcome to join in. Snorkelling is also popular and any keen fisherman should bring his equipment as well. The most popular activity (other than surfing) is the guided visits to the Indiginous tribes of the Mentawais that can take anything from 1 to 5 days. We also have board games/cards, guitars as well as Internet, Satellite TV and Hammocks to chill in.

Medical Facilities Minor injuries (standard reef cuts) should be dealt with by bringing your own medical kit. We do have some supplies but they shouldn't be relied on. More serious injuries will either be dealt with on one of the neighbouring islands who have a western doctor and in a worst case scenario, a guest might have to be taken back to Padang by fast boat. But this hasn't happend so far! But please make sure you have adequate medical insurance as the camp cant be held responsible for any injuries sustained when surfing and subsequent costs.
