Details

Stingray Homestay lies on Arborek’s western shore, a short walk from the Arborek tourist village.

A single over-water bungalow is offered.

The bungalow sleeps two on a mattress on the floor. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided, and power outlets, room light switches and an electric are fitted.

The bungalow has a covered verandah with panoramic ocean views. A table and chairs are provided.

Meals are served on the bungalow verandah. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available there for guests.

A two-room bathroom building is located on land. Dip mandi (bucket) bathing is provided in one room, and a western-style toilet in the other.

Electricity is from the Arborek village supply, and is usually available all night. Telkomsel’s Arborek tower provides a strong 4G signal.

Arborek village shops sell food, basic supplies and cold drinks, but (as everywhere in Raja Ampat) there’s no effective waste disposal or recycling available. If you don’t want to contribute to the trashing of paradise (opens in a new window), please take all your inorganic waste away with you when you leave.

Only a little English is spoken at Stingray Homestay. Bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia.

Transport / Getting there

Transfers between Stingray Homestay and Waisai cost IDR 1,200,000.

Activities

Stingray Homestay can provide any kind of trip you want to do.

Be sure to bring snorkelling gear, as the waters beneath Arborek’s jetty and the reefs off the island’s eastern end are special. Arborek is also the closest accommodation to the famed Manta Point and Manta Sandy sites where you can dive or snorkel with mantas.

Arborek village often mounts cultural performances, and production of handcrafted souvenirs is thriving. Arborek is small enough that you can easily drop in to the other homestays to find travelling companions to share costs with.

  • Stingray Homestay was added to the website today, so there are no reviews yet.

    It’s difficult for new homestays: It would be great if you were kind enough to give them a chance, and then leave a review to encourage others.

    Thanks so much ☺️🙏
