Incredible place. Everything was great!

We stayed at Panorama guesthouse for a week during low season and it has been amazing. James and his family always went an extra mile to make us feel at home and to help us with moving around Batanta and organising our trip in a fast and reliable way(including picking us up from Waisai and taking us to Sorong). We felt welcomed and taken care of.  The house is basic, but fully new and spacious, they cleaned it every three days, they changed bed sheets, mosquito net is new, comfortable bed, there is everything you need.  The food was always freshly cooked, tasty and abundant. We always had veggies raw and cooked, rice, noodles, fresh fish/tempeh and tofu and fruit. They gave us fruit and little cakes as snacks, coffee and tea are always available. Breakfast was also good and satisfying.  The private beach is just heaven, quiet and relaxing. There is a great coral reef right in front of the house, we saw many fishes and a baby shark. You can see sunset and sunrise directly from the house.  You can visit the small village next to the house, 5 mins by walk. There is a diving center (gears top notch) 20 mins far by boat where we had a great night dive.  We would definitely recommend this place to everyone that wants to live a local experience in a edenic place very off the beaten track.  It's a place and a holiday we'll never forget.  Thank you James and family for the lovely stay! 

This homestay is the perfect place to unplug and enjoy nature. All the staff are amazing but a special shout out to Erwin and William who went out of their way to make our stay extra special, especially for our daughter. The rooms are basic but have comfy beds and pillows and good mosquito nets. The rooms were very clean and so was the bathroom. The food was always plentiful and varied. Would love to stay here again.

The staff and overall service are exceptional! This is a wonderful place for both divers and non-divers as they have an in-house dive team as well as snorkeling and other excursions. Everything about this place is exceptional!
