- Hey guys. - Hi.
- We're having lunch. - Yeah.
- Come and join us.
(laughing)
Hi folks, 20th of July, 2018, I'm at Wasabi Nua.
Gonna do a quick review video
of my experience in this place.
Just give you an idea of where you could stay
if you decide to come here to Wangi Wangi in Wakatobi.
In my opinion, between the place that we're staying at now,
which is Patuno, I think, just a memory blank,
but I'll flash it up real quick,
that's where we're staying for two nights,
we prefer, Robyn and I much prefer this place.
Much better vibe, very very friendly.
Hasan, who's the owner here's just a super friendly guy.
Very down to earth, speaks great English.
Where as the other place, they don't speak any English,
everything's Google translate.
Even the lady at front reception, it's all Google translate.
It's very hard to communicate
and it has a very dark, heavy feeling about the place.
There's no one else around.
It feels like, it just feels like
it just doesn't feel right.
Still a nice place, but out of the two places
I would much prefer to stay here.
And had we not paid
for the second night at that other place,
we would definitely be staying here tonight.
But I'll give you a quick walk-through
and I'll give you some pricing as well
and I'll flash it up on the screen
so you can see that and plan.
And these are the rooms here
so I'll just turn the camera around.
These are the rooms that this place has,
seems like there are five rooms here.
And there are two singles, or split singles,
and there's double bed arrangements I believe.
Anyway, so it's like,
the cheapest here is two split singles.
I'll show you what they look like.
So, two single beds, two single mattresses,
with all the basic facilities for 350K a night.
So 35 Australian dollars a night.
And, if we go down to the other end, down here,
it's 450 a night, so 45 Australian dollars
for, I think it's a queen mattress.
But this is what it looks like,
I'll show you really quick, oops.
That's it right there.
So,
I'd probably stay in the queen room for 450K a night.
45 Australian dollars.
Anyway, so they've got this area over here
which is like, all the hammocks and things set up
in the nice little outdoor area
that you can kinda chill out at, just there.
And perfect for scuba diving, actually.
This is the place that we went with today,
about an hour ago or so.
And we saw some black tipped sharks and some mackerel.
I saw a barracuda,
and I'll throw up some of that footage, you can see that.
Some that's what we saw on the dive,
but this place is the place that we did our diving with.
And they have accommodation here as well.
So yeah, Shark Point.
But I'll show you something that's really really cool.
Actually, before I forget,
they do scooter hire here as well for 100,000 per day.
So that's 10 Australian dollars per day.
And to get around Wangi Wangi they do have
fuel bottles, you can buy fuel on the side of the road.
And you can hire scooters here, it seems,
to get around this island.
So just keep a note of that,
because we were taught by the other place,
that we are staying at,
they you can't hire scooters from there
and you have to hire a taxi,
that's 100,000 rupiah per hour,
so yesterday we hired the guy last night
for three hours for 300,000,
when you can just hire a scooter from this place
for 100,000 for the whole day
and you can go wherever you want.
So, I'll show you right here, we've got this.
And as I said to you before,
all the rooms have basic facilities.
And also, not hot water.
There's no hot water here,
there's no hot water at the other place.
So when you come out here, don't expect the luxuries
of traditional western accommodation
'cause you're not gonna find it.
But this place, they do have, for those prices I mentioned,
food, a breakfast is also included as well.
But check this out, I'll you across the bridge.
Now this bridge, which you would've seen from videos
from yesterday cause we arrived in Wangi Wangi yesterday,
we had dinner at this restaurant
which is only accessible by bridge.
And at the moment, it's a low tide.
Maybe the previous video, you saw the tide come in.
I was down there before, flying the drone
and so I gave you a little bit of a tour of
what this little restaurant island
looks like from the drone.
So you would've seen that.
And then it started to rain as you can see.
And I decided to bring the drone back
'cause I value the drone too much.
So I'll just take you across here.
So this is where you would have breakfast,
and this is where lunch is actually ready for me right now.
Sorry about the wind.
If I can just get out of the wind.
(bamboo chiming)
Oh.
That looks amazing.
What a set up.
Alright, so we're out of the wind now,
so real quick before I finish this video off,
I wanna just talk about lunch quickly.
So this is where you can have lunch,
you can have breakfast in the morning.
And these are the kinda views you do have access to.
Check that out.
So really really cool decking, great views.
We actually went scuba diving
around where that boat is right now,
that's where went scuba diving.
Really really cool place, so I'll take you in,
and we'll see what for lunch, what's on the menu to decide.
I think it's, what do we have, nasi goreng?
Alright, what's for lunch?
- Fried rice and vegetables.
- [Brad] Looks amazing, huh?
- [Robyn] It does, eh?
- [Brad] So we had this last night as well.
Veggies,
and Robyn of course.
Look at that.
Look at Robsy, are you happy?
- Yes!
- Hey can you tell me real quick,
honest opinion, no b.s.
- [Robyn] Uh-oh. (laughing)
- There, well that's what it's about.
No b.s., your feeling of this place.
You're feeling of this place.
- I instantly got a really happy, warm feeling
when I walked into this place.
Last night I got it, and then this morning,
I've had the same thing but more, so.
It's really down to earth, it beautiful.
- [Brad] The guys are friendly.
- Everywhere you look there are views.
The people are so friendly and warm.
You just, you feel at home here actually.
I feel really at home.
- I actually, before I forget, and they
you accept Visa here, card, Visa?
- [Robyn] Yes. - Yeah, they do?
- [Robyn] They do.
- Alright, so they accept Visa.
Yeah, so I just wanted to clarify.
Because... - [Robyn] That really helps.
Yeah, yeah.
So if you're, 'cause one of the biggest things
we thought about, coming here, was like,
oh, we need to bring like, cash only, like only cash
and bring a lot of cash.
But what's really good about this place
they accept Visa so you can pay for all of your food.
We have a tab. - [Robyn] We have a tab, yeah.
- We have a tab, so we're putting all of this food,
all of our diving
all that, like, coffees and our break...
everything's going on the tab and we just
pay by Visa at the end, so, yeah.
Anyways, so it's still raining a little bit but,
anyway this is the place.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Wasabi Nua, N-U-A,
I'll throw it up on the screen, all the details and stuff.
And yeah, excuse the rain. (laughing)
- You're gonna smash it into my face.
- [Brad] I'm not, I'm not.
I'm gonna feed it to you elegantly.
- [Robyn] I don't trust you.
- [Brad] I'm gonna feel it to you elegantly, here.
- I don't trust you.
- [Brad] Here.
- I know you so well!
(Brad laughing)
