Guest Houses in Rantepao

I highly recommend staying at Sulawesi Castle! My original plan was to stay two nights but I extended my stay four more nights. Sulawesi Castle has a lot of positive things going for it but the owner, Sarah, is at the top of the list. Sarah is a superstar of hosts! (5 STAR) She is very friendly, helpful, speaks English well, informative, and is one heck of a baker! (AND cook!) Also, Sarah has a very friendly, welcoming family. Breakfast was always a treat! There were three types of homemade bread (sometimes a sweet roll) with several types of homemade jam. Try the coconut jam. YUM! Fresh fruit was always served plus tea and real coffee. I was offered eggs if I wanted but the bread, jam, and fresh fruit were filling. I also ate dinner with Sarah's family twice and those meals were some of the best meals I had in my two month stay in Indonesia. I had a room overlooking the mountains which was incredible and well worth the price! There is a deck so one could enjoy the view over coffee or a cold beer which you can buy on the premises. My room was spacious and there was plenty of light due to large windows and walls that were painted white. The room was very clean and wifi worked just fine in my room. Drinking water is provided. Sarah rents motorbikes and she can arrange tours for you. Sulawesi Castle is not in a busy area and restaurants, convenience stores, and a grocery store are nearby. I had a great time at Sulawesi Castle and plan to visit again next year. Thank you so much Sarah and hello to your family!

Location is lovely! I stayed in rainy season, therefore hotel wasn't crowded and was chill. Although it's rainy season it was mostly raining in the evenings, so could see much anyway. Every morning hosts offered coffee and breakfast, was very welcoming and allowed me to stay longer than one night.

The people were really nice, I would recommend everybody to go here!
