A little brief about who we are -
Nestled on the northwestern tip of Lake Toba, the largest crater lake in the world, Resort spans over 206 hectares of stunning agro-eco landscape in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Positioned at 1500 meters above sea level, our resort offers a unique tropical highland climate, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking tranquility and a deep connection with nature, as well as an immersive experience in local Batak culture.
Here (ask us for our website ), we pride ourselves on fostering a vibrant community of guests from around the globe, creating rich cultural exchange opportunities. Our visitors come to enjoy not only the comforts of a resort but also unforgettable experiences that highlight the beauty of nature, cultural engagement, and physical activities.
We are excited to announce our ongoing project to transform one of our accommodation zones into a dedicated wellness space through Sanctuary (ask us for the website) . In addition to this, we operate an organic farm that includes our own vegetable, coffee, and tea estates, while also collaborating with local farmers to supply organic produce to nearby supermarkets and within our resort.
Through our volunteer program, we aim to enhance the service delivery and cultural awareness of our local staff by welcoming a diverse pool of international volunteers. Your contributions will not only help us raise our service standards but also provide you with a unique opportunity to share your skills and learn from our rich cultural environment.
