Bayua Beach Inn
Lake Maninjau, West Sumatra

The main inn building offers 4 large, motel type rooms (1 double, 3 twin) in an idyllic setting among coconut palms and rice paddies. It is located on the edge of Lake Maninjau, just outside the village of Bayur, in West Sumatra, home of the Minangkabau people. Rooms open on to a common, partially enclosed verandah overlooking the lake, where you can sit and enjoy the view while you try our delicious Indonesian food. There is a sandy access to the lake.

Facilities include one shared western type bathroom / Indonesian mandi combination for two adjacent rooms and individual bathrooms for the other two rooms. Room windows are fitted with fly screens and supplied with electricity. Also facing the lake is a bungalow with a kingsize bed and its own bathroom. Adjacent to the bungalow next to the lake is a cafe where guests frequently gather for meals and socializing.

The tranquil setting and the high quality of the facilities make this good value for money.
