Australia“Out of the town slightly so not as noisy as other Homestay. Pretty surrounds and friendly staff. Great banana pancakes for breakfast and we had a lovely meal with Lopez , his partner and our driver.”
Eva
Belgium“Great place to stay: not in the centre of Moni, but a bit outside. Wonderful host family and excellent diner and breakfast. Bungalows are very nice and quiet.
Possibility to wash your clothes.”

Lopez
This property belongs to a local family; in fact, it is a family related to a past chief. If you come to our village, I, Lopez, will teach you the history of my family and the local people. We are located approximately 40 minutes away from Kelimutu National Park (the tri-colored lakes) by motobike or car (which can also be arranged for you here). Additionally, the guest houses and furniture were all-handmade and built by me, making it a unique stay!
I have a strong interest in hosting, cooking, and building- basically, anything! I have been in the tourism business for over ten years. I can speak English, Indonesian, and some French too. I dream of traveling out of this country, but I love my country, its people, its beauty, and most of all my family. This accomodation helps to give back to my community and supports a stable future for my siblings which I care for. You will learn more about me, my village, my family, and my country when you come.
Here’s some activities you can check out or do:
Kelimutu National Park
Multiple waterfalls
Hotsprings
Weaving sarongs
Traditional houses
Moni village
Please let me know your interests, and I will find the best activities to suit your needs in my area.
