Good to know
Rote is like Bali 30 years ago. If you're adventurous and embrace the unexpected—like occasional power and wifi outages, sharing your backyard with wildlife, no AC or hot water, motorbiking, and relaxed island time where locals live by their own clock but always greet you with a warm smile—then Rote is your perfect destination.
