Piaynemo Homestay Raja Ampat is an unique homestay with the location between a wide sandy bay and a mangrove fringed lagoon gives easy access to Penemu’s superb Wayag-like seascapes. The islands of Piaynemu or Pianemo is a little wayag, one of the best islands in Raja Ampat.

Piaynemo Homestay is a large over water bungalow with all accommodation and facilities provided under a single roof. The building is solidly constructed and nicely finished, featuring much use of lacquered sago palm stems.

The bungalow has a spacious shared verandah with tables, chairs and daybeds, 4 4x3m bedrooms and two bathrooms, each having tiled floors, showers and western pedestal style toilets.

Sleeping is available for 10, with each room having a double mattress. 2 extra single mattresses are available. All beds have mattress covers, pillows, bolsters and mosquito nets.

A well constructed boardwalk through mangroves connects the homestay with the owners’ residence, a separate kitchen and the beach which backs the bay the homestay occupies.

A separate bathroom and toilet building (dip mandi and squat toilet) is provided near the beach for beachgoers or guests not resident at the homestay.

Piaynemo is a fairly remote location, so you’ll need to bring everything you want with you – the nearest village (Saukabu) is a 45 minute boat ride away by 15HP longboat and there is no telephone network coverage at the homestay. A generator provides electricity for lighting and charging devices.
