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.

Everything! Ne Pakku Manja is such a nice place. The family is making you feel at home. Meyske is a really good cooker. Dinner there is a delight, because of the food of course, but also because of the nice moment you can share with Meyske and the other guests. The room is comfortable, the house itself is very clean. Can't wait to go back

Set in Rantepao, Mama Tia Family Homestay has a garden and shared lounge. Featuring a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The homestay features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests.

Yacob, Yansen, Mama Tia and the rest of the family were amazing in their hospitality. Their homestay is simple and rustic but is also very homely. The rooms are very clean with a nice inside communal area as well as a very nice verandah where you can sit and appreciate the view of the neighbouring fields and ponds. If you are used to and looking for luxury comfort, then this is probably not the place for you, but if you appreciate simplicity and character then it is. Yacob and Yansen also provide guiding services which I would highly recommend They will tailor the tour to what the guests want to see. I would highly recommend visiting the funeral ceremonies with Yacob/Yansen. They provide a lot of good local insights. Also, staying at Mama Tia's was great because the communal areas encourage mingling with the other guests. While I we there, I met 3 French couples, a French and a German girl. I travelled with a few of these people north to the Bunaken Islands and Gorontalo. Thanks to Mama Tia's that I made such good friends.

    This is the best homestay ever! Yansen and his family already started taking care of us before we even got there. Everybody was super nice and giving good tips (funeral ceremonies, further transport, where to buy postcards;)…). They also provide laundry service and very very good food! We came as strangers and it felt like we left as a part of the family!

    Outstanding Homestay! Wonderful, warm-hearted hosts, the place is super cozy and lovely decorated and it's situated in an actual traditional Toraja village. The food is delicious, we felt very welcome. Booked a 2-day guided tour through the homestay and had a great experience! Thanks a lot!

    Sarah is such a lovely host. She made my stay as comfortable as possible. She organizied guides, driver and bus tickets. For breakfast she baked bread and cake herself. I would definitely recommend to stay in Sulawesi Castle.

    Everything! The homestay, the food, the location, the cozy atmosphere - everything was great. Meyske was away during my stay, but she checked in on me everyday and helped me organise my entire visit (2 funerals!) and her mom made me feel at home. Highly recommended!

    I would highly recommend this Homestay. One of the best experiences I have ever had. Meyske and her mum looked after me and all the guests of the homestay as part of a family which sometimes sounds cliché but not in this case She managed to organise a tour for us to attend a funeral , whiteout her help it would be impossible to do by myself. The food made by her mum was incredible , actually I was looking forward to trying new dishes every evening 10/10 for them

    We had a delightful stay at Nuansa Homestay, immersing ourselves in its rural charm and authentic accommodation. The host family was not only friendly but truly lovely and incredibly helpful throughout our visit. The traditional Tongkonan house was exceptionally clean, and surprisingly, no mosquitoes bothered us. One highlight was the fantastic guide (Mr. Natan) they provided, enhancing our experience.

    Meske and her family are the best host family you could ever wish for! Your stay will be a true experience with the locals, their food and habits. Meske goes the extra mile; she will spend evenings with you to help you plan your programme and suggest the best guides and drivers. This is not a simple stay - you should know you will leave your heart in Toraja ;)

    I loved that this was Meskyes private home. I enjoyed spending time in an authentic home stay. I felt so welcome. Because I respected that this is a private home and not a hotel, we let Meskye know when we were out at night and our approximate time back out of respect. As much as there are guests, it is still important to remember this is someones home. Nothing was an issue and Meskye and her mum made stunning local meals. Meskye also shared alot of local knowledge. It was so tranquil and I wish I had booked longer
