Details
Par Fray Homestay has two private, over-water bungalows on Arborek’s southern shore.
Bungalow bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor. Bedding for an extra guest is available if required. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided, and multiple power outlets and room light switches are fitted.
Bedrooms also have a small table and an electric fan.
Bungalow verandahs are covered and face west for sunset views. Chairs, and a table are provided.
Meals are served on the bungalow verandahs. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available there for guests. Like all homestays, Par Fray 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. One room provide dip mandi (bucket) bathing. The other has a western-style toilet.
Electricity is 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 Par Fray Homestay. Bringing a translation app or phrasebook would be best if you don’t speak Bahasa Indonesia.

Activities
Diving and snorkelling
Par Fray 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. Sehati 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.
Par Fray Homestay can arrange any kind of excursion you would like to do. See the table below for some popular options
