Toraja Sanggalangi Homestay is a recently renovated homestay in Rantepao, where guests can make the most of its garden and terrace. This homestay features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The homestay has family rooms. Starting from the communication prior to arrival, all the way throughout the whole trip the hosts were amazing. The level of hospitality and care far exceeded my expectations. I was driven to the pharmacy to get medication when I was ill, I needed to rest in my room, so the hostess offered me lunch and checked in on me and when the car broke down on the way to a hike they were so apologetic and mortified about disappointing us, rather than thinking of their primary method of translation being broken that it completely melted our hearts. They of course immediately organised alternative transport. Genuine humanity and real Indonesian hospitality at its best. The facilities were lovely. The room was very spacious, ensuite bathroom, hot shower at a very reasonable price The internet even worked in my room, as I was downstairs next to the common area which it primarily covers. The food was also amazing quality, healthy and home cooked. The host, Peso, is a certified guide, clearly well known in the community, which made finding and attending funeral ceremonies comfortable without feeling like an intruder. The 3 day programme he offered covered all points of interest in the area, he also offered in depth and nuanced explanations on the local culture and took me to some places where tourists don't usually go. The scooter he used to take me around was large, new and comfortable, too. Highly recommended!

Providing a terrace, The Sanduk Homestay provides accommodation in Rantepao. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi.

Towels and bed linen are provided in the homestay. Ibra and the other staff were very friendly and welcoming. The homestay was very clean with big rooms. Ibra organized us a guide to experience the local toraja funerals. Our guide Rita was very knowledgeable and managed to show us multiple funerals at a different state. We could rent a scooter from the homestay for three days. Ibra organized our night bus tickets to makassar and dropped us to the bus station. We could also do a late checkout which was convenient to catch the night bus.

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. Meyske’s house is one of a kind! And above that, Meyske (and also David!) is a fantastic host and warm person (who cooks amazing!). About the house; first of all you will be surrounded by original Toraja houses (tongkonan), the colours and decorations inside are very cosy and welcoming. The house has no windows, therefore it is always fresh and nice temperature :) your room has a klamboe against insects and the matras is nice. The breakfast and diner, which Meyske mostly makes herself, where the best food we ate during our journey through Sulawesi. The house is situated in a nice little village 15 min out of Rantepao. Beautiful surroundings, near by the mountains, and of course surrounded by the culture of the Torajan people. This culture is very very special. Meyske is also a guide who knows everything about this ancient religion. So she can guide you and give answers to all your questions. Thanks for everything!
