Details
Kombrof Homestay lies on Arborek’s northern shore, a short walk from the vibrant Arborek village.
Two private, over-water bungalows are available.
The bungalow bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor. Bedding for a third guest is available if required, but the rooms are probably a little small to comfortably sleep 3 adults. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided, and both bungalows have multiple power outlets, room light switches and electric fans fitted.
The bungalows have covered verandahs with sweeping ocean views. Chairs and a hammock are provided on the verandahs.
Meals are served in a beachside bungalow that sits just behind a row of protective mangroves. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available there for guests. Like all homestays, Kombrof 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 two-room bathroom building. Dip mandi (bucket) bathing is provided in one room, and a western-style toilet in the other.
Electricity is a combination of village supply 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 Kombrof Homestay. Bringing a translation app or phrasebook is recommended if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia.
Transport / Getting there
Activities
Diving and snorkelling
Kombrof 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. Kombrof 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.
Piaynemo trip
Kombrof Homestay offers a Piaynemo sightseeing and snorkelling trip for IDR 3,000,000 by speedboat, or IDR 2,000,000 by longboat. The trip cost is shared by participants.
