Hotel Pondok Torsina Toraja: Beautiful views of Toraja landscape

Hotel Pondok Torsina Toraja is a 2 star hotel located 1.5 km from the centre of Rantepeo on the road from Makale and just before the turn off to Ke'te Kesu. The hotel is set some 200 metres back from the road so here is little if any traffic noise. The rooms are reasonably sized and kept very clean. There is a beautiful pool in some lovely gardens - just right for a quick afternoon dip after a busy day sight-seeing. The staff are very friendly and there is a decent breakfast. Staff will also bring tea or coffee up to the balconies where there is a pleasant area to sit - it is the place you want to be as the views over ricefields and towards the mountains are incredible. You can have dinner at the outdoor restaurant or walk into Rantepeo for your evening meal. There are also a couple of 'gift' shops selling traditional Torajan beadings on the road just beside the hotel. For the price approx 25$ US, along with all else it has to offer, this hotel is an excellent place to stay for a few days while touring Tana Toraja.

Unique Quality: Amazing views from 2nd floor balconies, very friendly staff, good food, great location.

Pias Poppies: So at home!

One of the best stay! Every morning i'll be greeted cheerfully by the lady boss, Novi. And be brought my breakfast and enjoyed a lively chat with her. She's terribly friendly and helpful. Infact, thanks to her, i befriended this lovely family and went exploring Rantepao with them for a day.

They do not over-charge too. I'm most touched and impressed that they not only do not charge any extra cost for most travellors who stay till the night to catch the night bus back to makassar, they also packed sandwiches and drinks for us to consume on the bus! Such thoughtfulness!

The place is kept very clean and they have a very well maintained and pretty garden. It is equally lovely to just spend the entire day in the guesthouse itself coz of the garden and fresh and tranquil surroundings.

Though be prepared for a blackout usually in the evenings/nights. They normially last for an hour at most.

Wisma Monton: Wisma Monton: Good views

It is a good friendly mid-range hotel with a very relaxing atmosphere. A very clean and modern double room with fan, hot water, western toilet and bathtub costs about 100.000 irp (taxes, service and breakfast included)You can enjoy a reasonable view of the mountains (from the restaurant on the 3rd floor are nicer), not to mention the garden and courtyard of the hotel.

The family staff is very friendly.

Toraja Prince Hotel: Enjoying Toraja Coffee

This is a beautiful hotel, we visited because of the Toraja Cofee. Sounds funny, though we read about this special "Toraja kopi tubruk"...

Set in about 50.000 square meters of land, Toraja Prince Hotel is situated in a hill side in Tanah Toraja, about 55 minutes drive from the airport. Toraja Prince Hotel has a great panoramic view side, a swimming pool and is completed with Isung Malabi Restaurant and the famous Coffee Shop...

The rooms are AC, and have telephone, coffee/tea maker, safe deposit boxes and color TV, there is laundry- and room-service, a city-transfer is available.

Unique Quality: True TORAJA Coffee comes from the distance region in the Highland called Toraja in the central of Celebes/Sulawesi Island. True Toraja Coffee is pure Arabica Coffee being harvest from a very dedicated Coffee Plantation that only planted the true Toraja Coffee Tree where starting from the seeds it was collect from the “original” Traditional Toraja Coffee Tree. That is a neat legend, isn't it?

Enjoying your cup of Toraja Coffee and the great views is a must!

Toraja Cottages: Love DeLuxe Places

Traveling in Indonesia you never know where you're gonna stay. So I always book advanced at the beginning, somewhere in the middle and, at the end of my Indonesia-trip. In between I love to stay anywhere, even in the upmost cheap places ... mostly a surprise!

The Toraja Cottages Hotel is not merely a resort hotel, it also provides you with "convention facilities". We had a great stay with the three of us, described as "DeLuxe Accomodations" of Rantepao. Our room was batik-decorated, furnished with bath tub and shower with cool & hot water. Sitting on the balcony it was a real pleasure to enjoy the view and see the saddle roofs.

Unique Quality: The cottages are spread out over the side of a landscaped hill, beautiful views, big restaurant and bar. It's very popular with European clients and I recommend the bar! The sound of nature accompany you when walking around. Go to the hotel Teratai-bar for an after-dinner drink and, enjoy the sweet service of the hotel. We got treated with a special sing-appearance and mollyfied we listened to songs like Koleh-Koleh, Bengawan Solo and Burung Kaka Tua.
Great experience ...
