This was the best we stayed at for a long long time. Right at the beachfront. We could see and hear the waves from our room. Both our hosts were so sweet and kind. The breakfast was exceptional!

There is construction on a building right next door. However unless you stay in your room during the day (which is unlikely given the stunning beaches) it is not a problem. I also assume that it will be completed in the next couple of months.

We were served a different breakfast each of the 3 days we stayed and they were all exceptional. You can really tell when food is prepared with thought and care.

A bit more maintenance would help. And in general be aware of mosquitoes.

I think this is the best homestay near Tuapejat. It is right at the beach, rooms with AC, wifi and hot water, delicious breakfast with fresh bread and staff that can help arranging tours and scooters. Yes, it might need a bit of maintenance but it did not bother my stay. In general staying at a homestay in Tuapejat is the more affordable alternative compared to these luxurious resorts in the nearby smaller islands. A bit more low key with less luxury but it does give a much better experience of the local culture including delicious Indonesian food and plenty of options of boat and scooter tours. So if you decide to stay at a homestay, adjust your expectations and the Crow’s Nest is the best option.

That I had to leave!

Fabulous! Loved the location on the beach. Icha made the best breakfasts. Only a 15 min walk from the port. Great wifi.

The bathroom could use a bit of a do-over.

Easily the best location from all the homestays we saw on the island, beautiful beach in front of the house. Decent bule style breakfast (pancakes, toast, avocado/egg sourdough sandwich, plenty of fruits). Paddleboard available for guests. The owner helped us with renting motorbikes. The staff is lovely, helped us with chartering a boat at decent price to go back to Padang when the fast feery got cancelled:)

Located just on the best beach at Sipora island. They help us to organize scooter and were very helpful for for every question we have. Breakfasts were the best in whole our indonesian trip. Best place to spend few days and chill up in quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Would be nice if the owner can come up maybe with a deal with one of the restaurants so you can order dinner there as it's really lovely place to also have a dinner

We had 4 nights booked here and then we returned for 2 more! The owner can help you with everything(trips,scooter,ferry tickets) The place is right on the beach so easy to do daily trips around the islands! I would also say that the beach in front of the house and walking maybe 10 mins away is one of the best around the area.Breakfast is delicious and made every morning by the host. For the asking price i believe it's perfect! The rooms are basic rooms so don't expect any luxury but we enjoyed our stay here and would be back no doubt !

For Indonesian standards, it's a little expensive, but that is the case on Mentawai in general (because of surfers overrunning the place).

Very nice room with comfortable bed. Airconditioning. Itcha makes the nicest breakfast (which is included).

No WiFi

This is a magical place. Located right in front of the beach (a clean one) where you can enjoy the 50 shades of blue of the mentawai islands. It is also the most amazing place to enjoy the sunset, you'll get a different one every day. Rooms are very confortable and clean and good a/c. Bottled water is provided 24/7. Owners will help you with everything, boat trips, renting scooters and all you may need. Breakfast is simple but handmade and from local products. You can enjoy the relaxing local life, fishermans and kids playing all day. The village is underdevelopped but you can buy basic products from local shops and enjoy some cooking time. There's no wifi at the moment we were there, they were working We spent two amazing weeks and felt it should have been a month.

Our experience here wasn’t good, the rooms don’t look like the pictures in booking, our bathroom was completely unusable. The mirror was almost falling from the wall and completely rotten. The water from the shower smelled like sewer and my hair after one bath was left with the same smell. The shower is also rotten and needs to be replaced ASAP. During the first and only night we stayed here, we were woken up by a super loud chanting/prayer at around 5am that lasted a long time and didn’t allow us to get any sleep. We booked 3 nights and ended up only staying for one, had to book another hotel for the rest of our stay. The money we paid here was not that little for the conditions we had (which were almost none). Not that it’s the worst thing but the beach in front of the homestay doesn’t allow women to wear a bikini at the beach so you have to walk a few meters to another beach. Also the breakfast is very basic (you don’t really choose anything/they don’t give you any options, they just made us avocado toast with fried eggs, I don’t eat eggs so that wasn’t great either)

The location was pretty and right on the beach, the people who work here are very kind and welcoming but that was it.

The room was not cleaned daily, the walls are like paper, you basically feel like the people in the room next door are in your room! (You literally hear them going to the bathroom). Also, not allowed to go on bikini on the beach in front, you need to walk a bit, which is not terrible but not very convenient. Restaurants are quite "far" to walk to lunch and evening. Also, you don't see the surroundings on the pictures but it is very noisy (a lot of construction) and not well developed/not very clean.

The breakfast was great, and the beach view as well! Clean comfy room that look like the pictures.
