I loved this place and was very sad to leave after six days and really had to drag myself away. The food is excellent, the rooms have a spectacular view of the beach/sea and the place has a very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. I found all of the employees to be extremely professional and helpful, and of course, Freddie is... More

We returned to Freddie's after an absence of a year, because in two months in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, we kept going to places that weren't as nice as Freddie's, and finally surrendered to the inevitable. Since last year, Freddie has addressed the security issues by beefing up the room safes, and having guards around, so that is no longer... More

The cottages are average, but the view is magnificent. The staff is really friendly and the breakfast and evening-buffets are just wonderfull. Fredddie and his folks can help you with almost everything, plane-tickets, transport in, to and around Banda Aceh and Pulau Weh. We had planned 3 days, but stayed 7.

We and the children [aged 9, 4 and 18months] had a great few days at Freddie's. Lovely location - right on the beach with amazing child-friendly swimming and snorkeling. Food very good - buffets excellent value. Very helpful staff, especially Freddie, who gave excellent advice on things to do and arranged some very good [and inexpensive] trips. Freddie and the...

This is a very hospitable place on a beautiful, mountainous speck of an island. Freddie, a South African, is the genial host, along with his son, Brendan, and a team of hardworking local staff. Freddie provides a very high level of service in a rustic beach setting. Just take taxi or tuk-tuk from the ferry to Freddie’s and he’ll negotiate... More

Freddies was our first stop in Sumatra and it was great!! We had a very nice bungalow overlooking the beach and the clear blue sea. The vibe at Freddies is really relaxed, the staff is nice and helpful, and Freddies dinners are the best. He makes superb tasting dishes and explains how he made them with great enthusiasm. The front... More

I went to Aceh with my 2 friends. I chosen Freddies because it was the most convince website I found in the internet. Our friend who hosted us in Aceh also recommended Freddies to stay. And we proved it. We've been very satisfy by the excellent services, hospitality and at most for The Open Kitchen, that's what I want to... More

There are few scenically more pleasant places to stay on Pulau Weh than this resort. Each bungalow looks out over the ocean and the sun rise over the water in the morning is simply stunning. Bungalows are fairly simple rooms, with twin beds, ceiling fan and simple tiled bathroom. A balcony opens up looking out over the water, and the... More

Just got back on Monday the 25th of Mac. from Pulau Weh/Sabang, Sumatra, Indonesia. The place that was recommended by a friend from Planet Scuba, Bangsar, K.Lumpur was Freddies Santai SumurTiga, a place run by an elderly South African gentleman that lent his name to this place. The 4 of us comprising 3 boys & a girl had 3 beach... More
