Areef Homestay Kaledupa♡

Getaway Wonderlust

10.0

Staying here was one of the highlights of my trip to Indonesia. If you're looking for a genuine island experience, this is the perfect place. The homestay is built right over the water next to the mangroves, creating the most peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. It feels like a place where you can truly disconnect and enjoy the beauty of island life. The owners are truly wonderful people—kind, welcoming, and they make you feel like part of the family from the moment you arrive. Their hospitality is unforgettable. They are also incredibly helpful: they can arrange a scooter, organize amazing snorkeling trips, and are always happy to help you find your way around the island and recommend the best places to visit. There is no air conditioning, but honestly, it's not needed. The sea breeze keeps the rooms comfortable, and it feels much more authentic than staying in a hotel. Bed and pillows are so comfortable. And the food... simply incredible. Without a doubt, the best food I had anywhere in Indonesia. Every meal was fresh, delicious, and prepared with so much care and love. If you appreciate authentic places, beautiful nature, outstanding homemade food, and warm-hearted people, I couldn't recommend this homestay more highly. I would happily come back anytime.

Authentic homestay but with frills

Very homely, newly built rooms in their house over water, super comfy bed and linen, very clean, hammocks and plenty space to “lounge around”. So close to Hoga Island for day trips with Ari to snorkel or dive on amazing reef (I have been lucky enough to visit many reefs throughout Indonesia and this is right up the top). Ari and Julie are so welcoming and eager to please, you feel like part of the family. Julie is a wonderful cook and can cater for any diet but you won’t miss out! We loved our visit and highly recommend discovering this less visited end of Sulawesi, you won’t regret ❤️

My friend and I stayed here and had a wonderful time. Areef and his wife were wonderful hosts, and helped take care of all our requests and also helped us plan and do a trip to Tomea for two days, which we had not intended at first. He also went out of his way to help with our transport to Bau Bau. We felt very much at home at his place in particular, but also in Ambeua village in general. Highly recommend his place if you are planning to visit Kaledupa

La chambre était confortable et grande. La nourriture bien cuisinée par notre hôtesse. Le snorkeling organisé par notre hôte était superbe c'est un très bon guide,qui nous a mis en confiance.La comptabilité est très bien organisée à L'IDR près !
