Homestays in Tamperan

Great place, we had a great time. Close to the beach and very practical for surfing. Nice place to stay with friends, because of the relaxing top floor shared space.

Staying at Villa Hembers isn’t just about surfing or escaping into nature—it’s about becoming part of a family. From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed not only by the wonderful owners, Cuboh and Wiwin and their children, but also by their circle of family and friends who make this place truly special. Whether it’s life wisdom from Bege, the calm support of Julian, or the contagious energy of Wiwin and Siti, everyone plays a part in making your stay unforgettable. The atmosphere is uniquely homely—relaxed, nurturing, and full of genuine connection. There’s always someone around to talk to, to guide you, or to simply share a meal with. I arrived with a deep fear of water after a traumatic experience in Portugal, but thanks to Cuboh’s surf lessons and the gentle encouragement from his team, I not only got back on the board, I fell in love with the ocean again. But the magic doesn’t stop there. One evening, I was invited to a dinner and when I offered to help, I was gently guided by Siti through the cooking process—turning it into an unexpected and delightful “cooking class”. I learned so much and felt genuinely included in something special. Another day, we walked the beach after sunset, keeping an eye out for turtle nests—part of the small but meaningful conservation efforts that Cuboh and his friends are involved in. The location is perfect: just a 2-minute walk to the quiet, untouched part of the beach, and only a short ride to the livelier tourist spots if you feel like a change. At night, you’re serenaded by the uninterrupted sounds of nature—no mosques, no traffic, just a wild, beautiful cocoon of chirps and waves. I came to Villa Hembers alone, hoping to make a shift in my life after a long stretch of career burnout. My partner stayed at home, but I never felt lonely. Not for a moment. This place holds space for you in exactly the way you need it, without even asking.

Everything was to like, Marli and Ita were very hospitable and provided breakfast each morning. The room was very clean and comfortable for a week, felt like home :) They gave me a Bike to take, lots of help with directions and organised airport transfers. Food was very good price for the week and homestyle cooking.

Staff were all so friendly, went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Location is amazing

very friendly hostages and staff

one of the best accomodations we’ve ever stayed at. simple but perfectly set up facilities and room. the staff is extremely lovely and helpful, and Tina helped us to get to and from wherever we needed. when we return we will not bother looking at any other accomodation! Recommend if you want a budget friendly, comfortable and near the beach home!
