Details

Sehati Homestay offers five private, over-water bungalows on Arborek’s southern shore.

Bungalow bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor. Bedding for an extra two guests is available if required. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided, and multiple power outlets and room light switches are fitted.

The bungalows also have glazed windows and floor coverings. Unlike most other homestays, a cupboard is provided for hanging clothes, and a small table is also provided.

Bungalow verandahs are covered and have ocean views. Chairs, a hammock, and a recliner are provided on the verandahs.

Meals are served in Sehati Homestay’s over-water dining room. Free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are always available there for guests. Like all homestays, Sehati 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 three-room bathroom building. Two rooms provide dip mandi (bucket) bathing. The third room houses 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 Sehati Homestay. Do consider bringing a translation app or phrasebook to ease communication.

Activities

Diving and snorkelling

Sehati 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.

Piaynemo trips

Sehati Homestay offers two Piaynemo visit options.

Viewpoint sightseeing and snorkelling trip: IDR 1,500,000 per trip, shared by participants (4 max)

Viewpoint sightseeing only: IDR 1,200,000 per trip, shared by participants (4 max)
