Hi, we’re Paul and Sally, passionate travellers who believe that the Illawarra is one of the best places in the world. We love its stunning beaches, majestic mountains, vibrant eateries, and rich culture—not to mention the incredibly friendly people. When we’re not enjoying life here, we spend our time on Rote Island, Indonesia, our home away from home, where the great surf, welcoming locals, and tropical adventures keep calling us back. Our guest interaction is tailored to your preferences. Upon arrival, our friendly staff will greet you, assist with luggage, and provide a tour. We offer optional daily cleaning to enhance your stay. Nearby Laundry services are also available. For exploring, we can help arrange motorbike, car or boat hire. Our staff are available to answer any questions and provide local recommendations. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, ensuring a memorable and personalised experience.

Welcome to our brand new villas, where coastal comfort meets breathtaking beauty. Located on Rote Island, enjoy direct views of world-class surf from your living room. Rote is like Bali 30 years ago. If you're adventurous and embrace the unexpected—like occasional power and wifi outages, sharing your backyard with wildlife, no AC or hot water, motorbiking, and relaxed island time where locals live by their own clock but always greet you with a warm smile—then Rote is your perfect destination.

Discover Rote Island's Tropical Paradise For lovers of sun, surf, and adventure, Rote Island is the perfect destination. This hidden gem offers a blend of natural beauty, thrilling activities, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Surf the Perfect Wave: Just outside our villas, advanced surfers can take on Petrol Bombs, while a short scooter ride north leads to T-Land at Nemberala Beach—a 200-meter world-class left-hander, suitable for all levels. Beginners will love Squeelers, while more experienced surfers can challenge themselves at Sukinamon or the powerful waves at Boa. Beyond the Waves: Rote Island offers more than just surfing. Anglers can enjoy game fishing, with opportunities to catch Spanish Mackerel, Wahoo, and Dog-Tooth Tuna. Dive or snorkel among vibrant coral reefs, or kayak through the picturesque tidal mangrove forests south of Boa. Island Adventures: Explore traditional village life and experience the authentic side of Indonesia, where you’ll find friendly locals and unspoiled landscapes. Rote Island is more than a destination—it’s an adventure, offering endless opportunities to explore, unwind, and embrace the beauty of tropical island life.
