September 2022: Batu Lima 2 Homestay has not yet reopened after the pandemic. Please contact us if you want to be notified when/if Batu Lima reopens.

Batu Lima 2 Homestay is built over water in front of jungled cliffs near the village of Yenbeser on Pulau Gam’s eastern coast.

If you were redirected to this page while searching for Batu Lima Homestay, it’s because (as the name suggests) Batu Lima 2 Homestay is the Batu Lima family’s new establishment. (The original Batu Lima Homestay has been closed.)

Batu Lima 2 Homestay has two two-room family bungalows and one private bungalow. All bungalows are over water, have glazed windows, lockable doors and private verandahs equipped with tables and chairs.

Bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor, with sheets, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets supplied. Room light switches and power outlets are fitted.

Meals are served in a spacious over-water dining room that has a large refectory style table and bench seating. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are provided there for guests. The dining room is surrounded by a covered deck that provides seating and hammocks in which to relax and take in the surrounding ocean panorama.

All guests share a concrete-floored bathroom building that contains a western style toilet and dip mandi (bucket) bathing in separate rooms.

Electricity is provided by generator from sunset to about midnight.

Batu Lima 2 Homestay receives a reasonably strong mobile phone signal, which usually supports a slow internet connection..

Very little English is spoken at Batu Lima 2 Homestay, so if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia bringing a phrasebook will ease communication.

If you need basic supplies, Yenbeser village is a 10 minute boat ride away, but it’s best to bring the consumables you consider essential for your stay with you.

Please take any inorganic waste away with you when you leave. Especially plastic! All trash at Batu Lima 2 Homestay must be taken away by boat, and the lack of recycling (and even safe landfill) in Raja Ampat means that you’ll be contributing to the trashing of paradise if you leave your inorganic rubbish for your hosts to dispose of.
