Homestays in Mandati

At this place you become part of the family right away, you are treated like a VIP: excellent food, constant care for all you need, love and affection, which is what counts the most in life. Room was not luxury, squat toilet (no seating), nice a/c, comfy bed with many pillows, bucket shower. Food was absolutely delicious, made to your wishes. A visit to the maritime market, and you end up with incredibly good fresh tuna or prawns cooked to perfection in your plate. At walking distance you have Sombu Dive, where you can do beautiful dives with a dive master. If you’re a musician you can play with Pak Sari and son. Mr Sari is a very accomplished and successful musician on the Wakatobi scene. Family are teachers, very educated people. I guess he also is an imam, very very respected from the Sombu locals. The children, and locals in general, are totally charming.
