Details
Kasumasa Homestay lies at the edge of Pam village, on Pulau Pambemuk’s eastern shore.
Two private bungalows and a family bungalow are available.
The private bungalows sleep two, while the family bungalow sleeps four.
All bungalows have raised beds, and sheets, pillows, blanket and mosquito nets are provided. Bungalow verandahs are equipped with table and chair settings, and have panoramic sunrise ocean views.
Meals are served in Kasumasa Homestay’s over-water dining room. As at all homestays, free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are provided there for guests.
Guests share a 2-room bathroom building on land. A shower is provided in the bathroom. The other room houses a western-style toilet.
Electricity is from Pam village supply, and is usually available all night.
Kasumasa Homestay normally receives a strong phone signal. The 4G signal supports internet connections for those with the appropriate Telkomsel plan.
It’s short walk into the village, where basic supplies are available.
As everywhere else in Raja Ampat, there is no safe waste disposal at Pambemuk: Please do take your trash with you: Any inorganic waste you leave behind will only contribute to the trashing of paradise.
Very little English is spoken at Kasumasa Homestay, so bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended.
