Yengkawe Homestay

Yengkawe Homestay
For those who want a peaceful place where coral reef is the front yard and rainforest is the backyard,  the recommended place to choose is Yengkawe Homestay. The homestay is in a secluded white sandy beach with steep capes protect both of its left and right sides. Although it is close to Waisai town (the capital of Raja Ampat), there is no road that connects it with the town. It can only be accessed by speedboat. It is located in southern region of Waigeo island. The wooden bungalows are built on the water interconnected from one to another by a wooden bridge.
