Situated in Berastagi, 25 km from Mount Sinabung, Kaesa Homestay features accommodation with a garden and free private parking.

All units at the homestay are fitted with a seating area and a flat-screen TV. Featuring a private bathroom, some units at the homestay also feature a terrace. At the homestay, each unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. I was in love with the people who run Kaesa Home Stay, they were so friendly from the first moment. They explained to us how to move around and solve all our questions, they were always willing to help us, even I got a wound in my leg and Ipul had no problem to ride me to the hospital and be with me all the time to help me to understand each other, I would never forget that :). I highly recommend this stay not only for the location and the facilities, but overall for the people who work there and the wonderful atmosphere you can get, thanks to all the travelers who pick this home stay. Thanks and I hope to see you in the future :).

Guests can make use of the picnic area or the barbecue, or enjoy views of the lake and river. I did the 2 day/1 night Trek. The 2 guides Rian and Santa were the best guides I’ve encountered anywhere in all my years of traveling. They were so kind, funny and thoughtful. The food on the trek was phenomenal and it really was a wonderful experience. The property is great, with a beautiful lush green garden.
