Details
Worisun Homestay lies on Arborek’s western shore, a short walk from Arborek village.
Two private bungalows are available. The bungalows are over water at high tide and have unobstructed ocean and sunset views. Covered verandahs are equipped with table and chairs.
The bungalow bedrooms sleep two on mattresses on the floor. Bedding for a third person or a twin share arrangement can be provided if needed. Bed linen, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets are provided in all bedrooms, and all bungalows have multiple power outlets and room light switches fitted.
Meals are served in a beachside dining room, and free drinking water and tea and coffee making supplies are provided for guests. Like all homestays, Worisun 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.
Worisun Homestay’s bathroom building has two bathrooms, each with both shower and dip mandi bathing. Guests share a western style toilet that is housed in a separate building.
Electricity is usually available all night from the Arborek village supply, and solar power provides electricity during the 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 Worisun Homestay, so bringing a translation app or phrasebook might ease any communication difficulties .
Transport / Getting there
Waisai transfers are by longboat and cost IDR 1,000,000 if 4 or less passengers, or 1,200,000 if 5 passengers. The transfer price is shared by passengers.
Activities
Diving and snorkelling
Arborek Dive Shop is a short walk away, and dives all the famed Dampier Strait and Kabui Bay dive sites. Contact Arborek Dive Shop to book dives.
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.
Sightseeing and Transfers
Arborek village often mounts cultural performances, and production of handcrafted souvenirs is thriving. Worisun 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 other homestays to find travelling companions to share costs with.
