Homestays in Tapokreng

Closeness to nature, which is still unspoiled. Lots of birds, fishes and ofcourse the marine life that is easy accessible from PapuArts Alter Native Stay. Family feeling; easily to feel at home with this lovely family of four (Helga, Timon and their 2 beautiful young daughters who love to make friends). Oh, and I forgot their two sweet dogs Ringo & Dingo 🐾🐾 Owners are very helpful and speak several languages so easy to communicate with them. Internet is sometimes a bit unstable so take that into account when expecting speedy replies (sometimes it just doesn’t work and patience is a good thing to have). The food - home style cooking (breakfast, lunch and dinner are all cooked by the owner and her team and she is a great cook; we loved every meal which was perfectly catered to our vegetarian / pescatarian wishes) The rooms are close to nature as well, with very comfy beds (we stayed in both the smaller and the biggest family room, which easily fits 3 respectively 4 people; the 3rd bed in the smaller room has a wonderful treehouse feeling and there is a bunkbed in the biggest room). Hard to capture the beauty of the rooms in just one picture (I took several but could only post one here with my review). You can hear the sea and birds from your bedroom. It’s right next to you. No frills, just natural materials, which we loved. Also no warm water, but easily to get used to. There’s a shower and mandi style shower. Also your own toilet. Plus the blue blue sea right at your doorstep and a lovely sitting area with a hammock to complete the zen-feeling. There’s a long jetty into the sea with a perfect spot for exercise/meditation/yoga at the end. Fitness with a view! It’s quiet and feels very private. You instantly feel relaxed here. Different excursions to choose from, both on land and on/under the sea. Please note: these come at an extra cost and Raja Ampat area is not cheap!!!! Don’t compare it to any other parts of Indonesia (certainly not...

Place was clean and close to the harbour. Nice bed and pillows.

Amazing place and amazing people :)

We recently returned home after a wonderful five night stay in one of Nyande's over the water bungalows Nyande is well deserving of it's high rating. The owner Andy has put meticulous thought and care into covering all the bases when he designed the place. His staff was always buzzing around taking care of the bungalows, surrounding grounds, and preparing some of the most delicious meals we had during our entire month in Indonesia. The reef directly in front is beautiful and continued to be even more so as we snorkeled east towards and past the village. Heck, it was also gorgeous heading west past the other home stays as well. The night sky visible from our deck was magnificent! It felt perfectly safe to leave all of the doors and windows open as we slept which felt magical. We will highly recommend Nyande to others and sincerely look forward to returning.

The host are fantastic. The room is big and clean!

The Host Is wonderful, of you Need anything She Will arrange It for you! Wonderful staying!

Thanks to Aron, the host, it was an exceptional experience during our stay. We've visited almost every location for snorkeling and diving on Raja Ampat (you should pay for the boat). We'd a very diverse menu and a true natural Papua environment.

Super remote location with small local village near by, with all those super great noises - children playing, dogs barking and roosters crowing. Direct access to the reef with beautiful underwater world and lot of fishes. Room was big and also the big size bed with mosquito net. Host organized the trip to other islands and snorkeling spots, also the transfer to ferry.

Perfect location, a good stay, very nice wooden houses. Rio is a perfect bridge between the owner family and your needs, wants, questions. He will help you the best he can to make your stay there unforgetable.
