Situated in Rantepao in the South Sulawesi region, THE SINGKI HOME FAMILY has a balcony. This homestay features a garden. Rooms include a terrace with mountain views and free WiFi. Imanuel and his family are very attentive and kind hosts. They have the kind of hospitality that comes from the heart. The room and the shared bathroom are cleaned regularly. The breakfast is 5-star! On my last day I got the best ginger tea of my life! I did a 2-day tour with Imanuel in the Toraja region and it was very interesting and informative. Imanuel is a very good guide and his English is super. He also helped me to find a guide to show me around in Makassar. Thank you very much for everything!

Ne Pakku Manja Family Home has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Rantepao. This homestay features a garden. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Never thought I’d leave a place in tears and yet I did here. What a wonderful, profound experience. My partner and I were lucky enough to stay for just two days, and had the absolute pleasure of doing a three-day tour with Meyske, who is also a guide herself. The Homestay: They truly put the home in homestay. Very quickly we realized that when returning from a tour, we weren’t saying “let’s go back to the homestay”, we were saying “let’s go home.” instead. The place is small and simple: four basic rooms with a mattress, pillow, and blanket. No windows, but a mosquito net (we only saw two mosquitoes the whole time). Two toilets and one shower (cold water, though you can ask for a kettle of hot water). Roosters and pigs can be noisy, so earplugs help. And yet, the feeling? Like coming home to friends. With only four rooms, evenings naturally turn into sharing stories, bonding over a beer, and enjoying some of the best food you’ll eat in Indonesia, cooked by Meyske and her kind, lovely mother. Don’t skip the dinners. They’re fantastic. The Tour with Meyske: Yes, it’s pricier than many options, and you’ll certainly find cheaper guides. But with Meyske, you’re getting something rare. Most tours show you places and facts. Meyske tells you a story. Like any good story, there’s an opening chapter, rising action, real characters you come to care about, and a powerful ending that leaves you deeply touched. That’s exactly how it feels to be guided by her. On day one we learned about the history and background of the Torajan people. Then, step by step, she immersed us in ceremonies, connected us with people, and shared meals and stories with them. Finally, she wove in her own story, showing how it connects to the bigger picture of life in Tana Toraja. And that’s when we were left in tears. I won’t spoil her personal story since it’s something you should experience yourself but I will say this: she once mentioned she hopes for a small, traditional Torajan funeral.

A good location for a relaxing holiday in Rantepao, Mama Tia Family Homestay is a homestay surrounded by views of the mountain. The property features a garden, shared lounge and parking on-site among other facilities. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The homestay features family rooms and facilities for disabled guests. We had a wonderful stay at Mama Tia Familiy Homestay. From the first moment on we felt like home. Delicious breakfast and very comfortable room! We did a funeral ceremony with Yansen, who also showed us some traditional Torajan places which was fantastic. We also rented a scooter with him. His wife cooks great food and the views from the terrace are very peaceful. We recommend 100% staying here and would love to come back someday!

Located in Rantepao, Sulawesi Castle features accommodation with seating area. This 2-star guest house offers luggage storage space and free WiFi. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a terrace. I highly recommend staying at Sulawesi Castle! My original plan was to stay two nights but I extended my stay four more nights. Sulawesi Castle has a lot of positive things going for it but the owner, Sarah, is at the top of the list. Sarah is a superstar of hosts! (5 STAR) She is very friendly, helpful, speaks English well, informative, and is one heck of a baker! (AND cook!) Also, Sarah has a very friendly, welcoming family. Breakfast was always a treat! There were three types of homemade bread (sometimes a sweet roll) with several types of homemade jam. Try the coconut jam. YUM! Fresh fruit was always served plus tea and real coffee. I was offered eggs if I wanted but the bread, jam, and fresh fruit were filling. I also ate dinner with Sarah's family twice and those meals were some of the best meals I had in my two month stay in Indonesia. I had a room overlooking the mountains which was incredible and well worth the price! There is a deck so one could enjoy the view over coffee or a cold beer which you can buy on the premises. My room was spacious and there was plenty of light due to large windows and walls that were painted white. The room was very clean and wifi worked just fine in my room. Drinking water is provided. Sarah rents motorbikes and she can arrange tours for you. Sulawesi Castle is not in a busy area and restaurants, convenience stores, and a grocery store are nearby. I had a great time at Sulawesi Castle and plan to visit again next year. Thank you so much Sarah and hello to your family!

At the homestay, each unit is fitted with a desk. Units have a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while some rooms also boast a terrace and some have river views. At the homestay, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels. Great location and staff and very comfortable room with ac. They even noticed I had a runny nose and brought over medicine without me asking, very thoughtful.
