Details
March 2025: Maners Homestay was renamed Saubaryam Homestay. Homestay ownership and management has not changed.
Saubaryam Homestay offers three VIP bungalows on the protected north-east shore of Pulau Pam.
The bungalows are set up to sleep two, but bedding can be provided for four if required. Mosquito nets, and the usual sheets, pillows and bolsters are provided.
Bungalow verandahs are equipped with tables and chairs, and have ocean views.
The ensuite bathrooms have western style toilets, bucket bathing and showers.
Meals are served in a beachside dining room where drinking water, tea and coffee are always freely available to guests.
Electricity is provided by generator and is available from sunset until around midnight. A variable 4G phone signal is available, but data connections are usually slow and suffer frequent dropouts.
Saubaryam Homestay is a short walk from Sau Kabu village where basic supplies can be purchased in small local shops.
Saubaryam Homestay (like every other in Raja Ampat) has no safe way of disposing of inorganic waste, so please do take any that you create away with you. Leaving it behind will only contribute to the trashing of paradise.
Minimal English is spoken at Saubaryam Homestay: Bringing a translation app or phrasebook is strongly recommended.

Transport between Saubaryam Homestay and Waisai is by longboat and costs IDR 2,000,000 each way, shared by passengers (max 4).
