Accommodation is fairly basic on Pulau Samosir but the Samosir Cottages provided our base for the few days of exploration we had planned for this area. The location was right on the lakeside giving us views over the extensive lake and out to the crater rim and surrounding mountains. Samosir, or Samosir Island, is a large volcanic island in Lake Toba, located in the north of the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Administratively, Samosir Island is governed as six of the nine districts within Samosir Regency.
