Had 2 weeks solo here in April. Waves for days. Lualemba is the place to stay on Rote, and the owners Dave and Net are awesome.

Thanks to Jenet and Dave for an awesome holiday - first 2 weeks in June. The waves were good - 2-6 foot, the food fantastic and the hospitality unsurpassed. We all came home tired and happy. Loved the village lifestyle and family atmosphere. Totally recommend Lualemba for a surfing holiday that is not just about surfing.

Great to finally see a place that looks and sounds like some where I want to stay and isn’t over a hundred bloody dollars plus a night. Those blokes are getting a bit cheeky, after all it is Indo.
I will be looking you guys up when I come to Rote in August.

Thankyou Dave and Janet for a wonderful intro to Indo surf and life style. We could not have wanted for any more. Your help with arranging transport both to and from Nemberela took the hassle out of our trip. The food, particularly the fresh fish, was superb! The accomodation and hospitality excellent. We will be back to enjoy more Lualemba lifestyle and great surf.

The coolest bungalows super friendly staff and a swimming pool going in soon table tennis watch out for Dave he'll pretend he can't play that we'll he's a pro We scored a big swell first few days awesome waves and free boat trip to the reef while staying at Lualembra the restraunt is about 300 meters from the bungalows so nice and quiet at night Plenty of other waves around just ask Dave and he will take you or tell you how to find them. Can't wait to get back.

A huge thank you to David Ralph and Jenet Ralph of Lualemba Rote.
Fantastic hosts and a great family atmosphere. Scored epic waves and meet new friends..Support these guys as some of the money you spend goes towards the water for schools project that these guys run in the area.!

Really enjoyed ourselves, thanks guys. We'll be back. Shot from the water of Aurora loving Besialu reef 👍
Been there 5 times and are the best memories. Always look at my photos to get a recharge. The people are the most gentle people on this planet! The waves are awesome, inspiring and deserve respect.
