Leokap Homestay

Tuk Tuk

Parapat is 10 km from the guest house. This Homestay is about 5 minutes walk from the ferry port. I had a pretty heavy suitcase with me and there was no way I could carry it on the uneven road and steep uphill. The owner, Marin, came with her scooter and picked up the suitcase right away. Upon the check-out was the same. Marin and Johanna were always available and very friendly. The view from our room was facing the lake and the beautifully maintained garden.

Laster Jony's

Tuk Tuk

At the guest house, units are equipped with a desk. Units are complete with a private bathroom fitted with a shower, while some units at the guest house also have a seating area. At the guest house, all units are allergy-free. Everything. It was a rugged location with the lake and sunset at your doorstep. You can wake up to the sound of the waves and it was quite peaceful. But perhaps the best thing about them is the hospitality, and their FOOD. I tried various different restaurants from my stay at Tuktuk and nothing came close to the food made by Hamlet and Rita at Laster Jony's. It felt like coming back home from a long day of travelling. Definitely try their veggie and cheese omelette, fried rice, and mixed fruit pancake 😍.

Even though there was no electricity in the whole region in the morning, the staff made their best to serve us a nice breakfast, with a nice view! Would definitely come back!
