Details
Angga Homestay offers a single bungalow on Yef Kabu.
The bungalow sleeps two on a mattress on the floor. Bedding includes sheets, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets. Power outlets are provided, and the bungalow verandahs have table and chair settings.
Meals at Angga Homestay are served on the bungalow verandah. Drinking water, and tea and coffee making supplies are also provided there at no charge.
A separate bathroom building provides a squat toilet and bucket bathing.
Electricity is provided by generator and is available from sunset to about midnight. A 4G phone signal is usually available.
Mutus village is about a ten minute boat ride away. Basic supplies are available from village kiosks there.
Very little English is spoken at Angga Homestay Homestay. Bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended.
To avoid contributing to the trashing of paradise (opens in a new window), all homestays ask that you please take all your inorganic (especially plastic) waste away with you when you leave.
Transport / Getting there
A one way transfer between Angga Homestay and Waisai costs IDR 2,500,000
Transport is by longboat that can carry two passengers. Trip cost is shared by passengers.
Reaching West Waigeo is not cheap, but the remote region’s unique attractions and wild nature justify the expense. You’ll also see a lot of Raja Ampat on the way, including Kabui Bay and the famed Kabui Passage.

Activities
Angga Homestay will provide snorkelling and sightseeing trips on request.
Yef Kabu is a tiny, flat, sand cay in the middle of the West Waigeo’s Meos Manggara Islands.
One long, white beach encloses two square kilometres of coconut palms, casuarina and ketapang trees that makes a perfect quiet hideaway and base for exploring some of the best reefs in Raja Ampat.
Because of the region’s remoteness, West Waigeo’s reefs are pristine, rich and rarely visited by day tripping boats from Sorong and Waisai. Fabulous snorkelling is available in the area and it’s most likely that you will be the only people in the water. Mantas congregate at Pulau Yefnabi and several other locations in the islands. They can even be found there between June and September, when they are usually absent from the better known Dampier Strait sites of Manta Point and Manta Sandy.
Apart from the excellent snorkelling and mantas, the West Waigeo Islands offer sights like “Pasir Timbul” – a stretch of pristine white sand that emerges from the ocean with every low tide. A visit to Aljui Bay is highly recommended, and provides the opportunity to see ancient rock art galleries, a large commercial pearl farm, secret lagoons, cultural sites and spectacular scenery.

⭐ First guest at a hidden gem: and I’m still thinking about it
I had the privilege of being the very first guest at this newly opened homestay on the island of Jef Kabu, and what a way to be welcomed into Papua.
There are just two private bungalows, both sitting right in front of the sea with tree shade and total privacy, the kind of place that feels like it was built for you to exhale. No crowds, no noise, just water, breeze, and birdsong.
But what makes this place truly special is the family behind it. The warmth of Papuan hospitality is not a slogan here, it’s real, it’s constant, and it stays with you. They cook three meals a day with fresh fish straight from the sea, and every single dish was delicious. Genuinely, some of the best food I had in all of Indonesia.
They also arrange island trips that are simply stunning, crystal water, untouched nature, the kind of scenery you thought only existed in photos.
If you’re looking for something authentic, quiet, and full of soul, this is it. Come before the world finds out.
Please don’t be deterred by the lack of reviews!
It’s only because Angga Homestay was added to Stay Raja Ampat today, and so does not have any reviews yet.
It’s really hard for families opening new homestays. Especially for those starting out small and basic.
Please do give Angga a chance, and then be the first to submit some feedback. 😊🙏
