Toraja Heritage Hotel, hotel in Rantepao

Toraja Heritage Hotel in Rantepao features accommodation set in the traditional Toraja-style buildings. It boasts an outdoor swimming pool, a spa centre and a fitness centre.

The staff were nice and helpful ... really excellent. The property has a very unique and picturesque look ... it's made to look like traditional Toraja houses and that made it a special experience. So we had a great view from the balcony (see photos). The breakfast had sufficient variety and was of acceptable quality. We also appreciated the fact that the hotel offered a free shuttle service into town since the hotel is a little far out (which makes for the nice scenery, of course ... no complaint there).

Mama Tia Family Homestay, hotel in Rantepao

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 home stay was a little out of town which we loved as it meant the place was surrounded by nature with lovely views over the rice paddies. The host and his family made sure we were extremely well looked after during the whole stay. Breakfast was delicious, as were the dinners we had there. One night they made a traditional torajan dish cooked inside bamboo which was amazing and interesting to see how it was cooked. It was a relaxed vibe with the other travellers also. We did 3 days of guided tours with Yacob which were great (funeral ceremony, mountain hike, buffalo market etc).

Rosalina Homestay, hotel in Rantepao

Located in Rantepao, Rosalina Homestay offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay.

I loved my spacious room with the big bed and the wonderful view over the rice fields and mountain. The staff were so helpful when I had problems with transport there and full of amazing tips to get to know the area. WiFi was excellent, as I was working a lot. I also thought the location was great, not right in the middle of busy, noisy Rantepao but walking distance from everything. I also rented a scooter from them. And all this at great value. I’d love to come back!

    You should explore the countryside and the villages. The colours and the views are amazing. People are warm and hospitable wherever you go. They are very cultural and want to keep it that way. The food is varied and can be delicious if you do your research before you get there.

    Rantepao is a perfect location to explore the Torajah area; Torajah is a mainly christian area on a mainly islamitic Island, with very typical ceremonies, often related to death and funerals. We took the bus from Makassar which takes about 10 hours to get to Rantepao, but it is an interesting journey.

    Most unique cultural experiences with memorable funerals and weekly animal market. Pleasant surprise to see so many churches in a Muslim majority country. People are very friendly and transport so affordable and interesting.

    Amazing and outlandish culture and scenery surrounding the city. Traditional housing can even be seen within the city centre. The scenery outside Rantapao is glorious, and travel with a guide highly recommended to discover the intricacies of this very different culture, provide local employment, avoid causing offence or excessive traipsing on private/family land, and because a decent map is hard to find. Take a day (or a few) in the city itself. It is safe and surprisingly sweet when you slow down and take it in. As in so much of Sulawesi, people are gentle, honest and kind.

    Perfect place to stay (better a bit out of the city center) to enjoy nature and explore the area of Toraja. The city itself not much to do except some good restaurants but a great starting point for excursions in the Toraja region.

    loved everything about this place - it is not fancy, but it is very clean and the Hostess is fantastic. we arrived late and she made dinner for us when we got there. The traditional meal she cooked the next day was also great, chicken in bamboo. There is a full bathroom outside the house with a hot water shower, western toilet and two sinks - very clean. The traditional house would not be able to accommodate a bathroom in the building itself. This is an experience to stay in real Toraja house - it is not a fancy hotel - but it is great!!

    Staying in a tongkonan is a once in a lifetime experience, Aldi and his family do their best to make sure you have a pleasant stay in their homestay, i had a good time. This special place is not far from Rantepao, but in the countryside, so the atmophere is quiet and relaxed, i even had the chance to have real indonesian/toraja dinner and breakfast with them. You can also have a glimpse of real toraja life when they show you how they feed their animals or collect the local beverage from the trees.

    If you are after an interesting trip to Toraja, I highly recommend Wisma Papa Tias. Pak Yacob and his family are kind and gracious hosts, and you get a good sense of what living in Toraja is like. If you enjoy the country life then you will surely not be disappointed. Some notes: The place is a bit away from Rantepao, where most of the restaurants are located. Make sure you arrange some sort of transportation (car with driver/moped etc.) so you are mobile.

    Probably the best place and experience we've ever had. It's a bit more expensive than your regular accommodation but if you can spend an extra 10 euros a night come here, it's so so worth it. If you've been traveling for a while in SE Asia this will feel like a 5 star hotel. The host is so accommodating, her tour was incredible and the food is the best we've had in Indonesia. Hope some day we can come back here.

    The homestay is located in the center of Rantepao. The host family is very nice and welcoming. The rooms are simple, but big and very clean. It's great value for money and the family will make your stay very pleasant. Daude is an experienced and highly recommended guide. We did a one day "cultural-tour" with him and it was a great experience. We saw and learned a lot about the Torajan culture.

    We spend a fantastic time at Mama Tia Family. The family is very kind and helpful for everything. They guide us to discover the toraja culture showing us the funeral and wedding. Thanks to Yansen for his explanation and for being happy all the time 😃 They also have scooter and can come to pick you up from your bus when you arrive at Rantepao. I really recommend this homestay Thank you again

    SARAH, the owner, is amazing. If you stay anywhere else in Rantepao you have dropped the ball. I real homestay and felt like party of the FAM. Especially, making dinner with CHEF Melissa. I got the Sambal recipe I have been looking for! There is a reason the Lonely Planet highlights the Castle for Toraja! Don’t stay anywhere else!!!!

    We enjoyed so much our time in Rura Raya, room was very clean with nice large windows that you can open and stay on the balcony with a view on Torajan houses in the garden. Diner and breakfast was amazing, very fresh and fulfilling. It was definitely our best stay and food around Rantepao.
