Details
Arborek Homestay is quite a large homestay located on the southern shore of Pulau Arborek.
Five two-room family bungalows are available. Two are over water, while another other two sit in the shade of beachside trees.
There is also a 2 room, concrete bungalow which we refer to as a VIP bungalow because both rooms have ensuite bathrooms with western style toilets.
The 2 VIP rooms have tiled floors, real beds, and evaporative air coolers supplied.
Meals at Arborek Homestay are served in a large and well appointed, sand-floored dining room. There are a several tables and plenty of seating available. There’s a refrigerator, and drinking water, tea and coffee making supplies are provided there for guests.
Traditional bungalow guests share a two-room, tiled floor bathroom building. A western style toilet occupies one room, and bucket bathing is available in both.
Plenty of shady relaxation is provided at Arborek Homestay, with a number of beachside shelters, seating and hammocks set in the shade of the beachside trees.
Electricity is from village supply and is usually available at all times except from 0700 to about 1000. Telkomsel’s Arborek tower provides a strong 4G signal.
The homestay lies on the outskirts of Arborek village, where you can purchase basic supplies and cold drinks.
