Cottages in Rantepao

Beautiful traditional style house, pretty garden and lovely couple running the place

We had a great time at Villa Bait Lino, Lukas and his family are very nice people and invested to make you spend a good time. The place is beautiful, you sleep just in front of the rices fields and the mountains. I absolutely recommend this place to discover the toraja culture. Also i would recommand Marco as a guide to help you discover Toraja, he is a very nice person, commited to his work and he'll tell you everything you need to know about the toraja culture.

A beautiful homestay with amazing hosts! The breakfast was great every morning and the hosts were always willing to help, no matter your requests. I had an amazing time staying there and I definitely recommend it!

Stay at Nuansa Homestay was one of the highlights of our trip. Aldi and his family are the kindest and most welcoming people we’ve met in Indonesia. It was wonderful to talk to them over dinner and learn more about their lives. They helped us with getting a scooter and we’re really helpful throughout. The room we stayed in was basic, but very comfortable. We had a great night sleep. The bathroom is new with western toilet. Thank you for having us in your lovely home.

Great Experience Overall! The accommodation is very spacious and with a beautiful garden view. Best part is the owner Wila. He's very friendly and has a lot of knowledge from the surrounding area and is keen on giving insight into toraja culture and we spoke with him for a long time. He also has his little cafe in which he sells his own grown coffee and there's the possibility that he also shows you his plantation which is just behind the bungalows. He was very helpful in gathering information for us on when and where the death ceremonies would take place and provided many tips on customs, do's and don'ts so we could arrange everything ourselves with scooters. At one point he also offered us home-cooked food from his mother that lives nearby in one of the traditional houses. PS: For those interested he also offers guided tours where he joins you, he seemed very knowledgeable from the get-go so it's definitely a good option.
