Lavalon Cafe & Hostel

Top choice in Kupang


Run by living Nusa Tenggara encyclopedia and former Indonesian film star Edwin Lerrick, Lavalon is Kupang's best-value accommodation. Rooms are worn but clean (some with Western bathrooms). Pay extra for the corner room with air-con, hot water and a window that opens to the sea. Edwin goes well out of his way to help anyone with information and bookings.

Also an avid cook, he has put together a small but tasty menu of speciality Indonesian dishes and Western comfort food, which can be enjoyed in the small common area by the ocean. He arranges cars and drivers plus motorcycles (70,000Rp to 100,000Rp per day). Phone or WhatsApp ahead to guarantee a booking.
