Details
Adefiro Homestay is located on Arborek’s northern shore, only a couple of minutes’ walk from Arborek village.
Two private, over-water bungalows are offered.
The bungalow bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor. Bedding for a third guest can be provided if required. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided, and both bungalows are equipped with multiple power outlets, room light switches and electric fans.
The bungalows have covered verandahs with panoramic ocean views to Gam. Chairs and a hammock are provided on the verandahs.
Meals are served in Adefiro Homestay’s beachside dining room. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always availabale there for guests. Like all homestays, Adefiro serves local style food, which always contains rice and vegetables with fish, egg or chicken. If you are vegetarian or have special dietary needs, please be sure to let your hosts know when you meet them.
Guest share a four-room bathroom building. Two rooms are dip mandi (bucket) bathing bathrooms, and two house western-style toilets.
Electricity is from a combination of village supply and solar panels, and is usually available 24 hours per day. Telkomsel’s Arborek tower provides a strong 4G signal.
There are shops in the village that 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, please take all your inorganic waste away with you when you leave.
Only a little English is spoken at Adefiro Homestay. There will usually be someone around who can help, but if you don’t speak any Bahasa Indonesia, then bringing a translation app or phrasebookwould be a good idea.

Activities
Diving and snorkelling
Adefiro Homestay guests can contact Arborek Dive Shop to book diving. (Book ahead! Arborek Dive Shop is popular and often fully booked.)
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. Adefiro Homestay can organise boat trips to any sightseeing or snorkelling sites you might want to visit, and Arborek is small enough that you can easily drop in to the other homestays to find travelling companions to share costs with.

Viewpoint sightseeing and snorkelling trip: IDR 1,500,000 per trip, shared by participants (4 max)
