Homestays in Nokkor

My stay at Senjas was a wonderful, authentic and real experience with a local family. It was real because I was the only guest and experiences and incredible time with them. It is a very new homestay, so everything was very clean, new bathroom with a sitting toilet (not usual in Raja Ampat), an own beach, beautiful sunsets on your veranda. The food was incredible delicious, I liked their spices, also important to mention it was an all-inclusive stay with a lot of food for myself (on booking it said only breakfast). You have access to the nearby village and can walk to it. The family was helpful and did day trips with me for snorkelling adventure. If you are into socializing with other travellers, it might not be ideal because I was there alone but there were 2 bungalows.

I really enjoyed my 5 days here. I was the only guest, so I had the whole beach (several kilometres long) to myself, which was fantastic. And at night all I could hear was the soothing sound of the ocean waves. The beach is just a few seconds away from the bungalow. Because it is by the sea, the waves are quite big and the breeze is a blessing in this otherwise quite hot place. And because the beach faces west, I saw the best sunsets in Raja Amapat. As for the accommodation, it is basic, but I had everything I needed. The food was delicious. The family helped me with everything. The father took me wherever I wanted to go and even gave me some tips, which turned out to be the best snorkelling I had in the area (Napoleon Reef and Fam Wall). He even climbed a palm tree to get me a fresh coconut. So I am really happy about everything and I recommend you to visit Or Mandira too.

dinner & lunch Accommodation Bed very very clean People very Nice

Perfect location, stunning beach, very beautiful snorkeling, absolutely amazing staff, excellent food.

We had an amazing adventure on Meos Ambower. Above all, Nick and his family are very nice people and try to fulfill every wish you have. At night, for example, they did not hesitate to bring us a chilled beer from the village on the next island, they stocked up on Fanta and Coca Cola, when they found out that we loved them, they took our son to fish with a harpoon on the open sea, they prepared the fish that our children caught from the moles/decks and etc. And this is what makes this accommodation special. Of course, the houses are above the water on a beautiful small island, they are all clean, with a mattress or a bed and a mosquito net. The toilet and the possibility of rinsing with water is basic, as in other homestays in this location, but everything is clean and constantly cleaned. There is plenty of food and it is very good, especially fish and homemade cakes. Fruit is served for lunch and dinner, coconut is available whenever you say you want one. In addition, we were lucky to have wonderful guests in other houses and together we enjoyed a wonderful time on the island and on some trips that we decided to go on together with them. Prices for shipping to Waisai and on trips are not exorbitant because they are really long distances. We definitely recommend a trip to the opposite island, where there are large beaches with very fine sand, gradual access to the sea, in which there are beautiful corals and is full of blue starfish right from the start.
