Toraja Heritage Hotel, hotel in Rantepao

Toraja Heritage Hotel in Rantepao features accommodation set in the traditional Toraja-style buildings. It boasts an outdoor swimming pool, a spa centre and a fitness centre.

The staff were nice and helpful ... really excellent. The property has a very unique and picturesque look ... it's made to look like traditional Toraja houses and that made it a special experience. So we had a great view from the balcony (see photos). The breakfast had sufficient variety and was of acceptable quality. We also appreciated the fact that the hotel offered a free shuttle service into town since the hotel is a little far out (which makes for the nice scenery, of course ... no complaint there).

The staff were amazingly helpful … they let us check in early (4.30am!!!) and let us come back (after we’d left), to use one of their rooms to shower, after hiking … at no extra charge! SO kind! The rooms were basic, but adequate and excellent value for money! Very pretty hotel and excellent views!

    You should explore the countryside and the villages. The colours and the views are amazing. People are warm and hospitable wherever you go. They are very cultural and want to keep it that way. The food is varied and can be delicious if you do your research before you get there.

    Rantepao is a perfect location to explore the Torajah area; Torajah is a mainly christian area on a mainly islamitic Island, with very typical ceremonies, often related to death and funerals. We took the bus from Makassar which takes about 10 hours to get to Rantepao, but it is an interesting journey.

    Most unique cultural experiences with memorable funerals and weekly animal market. Pleasant surprise to see so many churches in a Muslim majority country. People are very friendly and transport so affordable and interesting.

    Amazing and outlandish culture and scenery surrounding the city. Traditional housing can even be seen within the city centre. The scenery outside Rantapao is glorious, and travel with a guide highly recommended to discover the intricacies of this very different culture, provide local employment, avoid causing offence or excessive traipsing on private/family land, and because a decent map is hard to find. Take a day (or a few) in the city itself. It is safe and surprisingly sweet when you slow down and take it in. As in so much of Sulawesi, people are gentle, honest and kind.

    Perfect place to stay (better a bit out of the city center) to enjoy nature and explore the area of Toraja. The city itself not much to do except some good restaurants but a great starting point for excursions in the Toraja region.

    loved everything about this place - it is not fancy, but it is very clean and the Hostess is fantastic. we arrived late and she made dinner for us when we got there. The traditional meal she cooked the next day was also great, chicken in bamboo. There is a full bathroom outside the house with a hot water shower, western toilet and two sinks - very clean. The traditional house would not be able to accommodate a bathroom in the building itself. This is an experience to stay in real Toraja house - it is not a fancy hotel - but it is great!!

    Probably the best place and experience we've ever had. It's a bit more expensive than your regular accommodation but if you can spend an extra 10 euros a night come here, it's so so worth it. If you've been traveling for a while in SE Asia this will feel like a 5 star hotel. The host is so accommodating, her tour was incredible and the food is the best we've had in Indonesia. Hope some day we can come back here.

    This homestay was wonderful! The host was very kind, helpful, flexible and an amazing cook (breakfast and dinner). She organized a guide and motorbike, which was perfect for the 4 days we stayed with Manai. The homestay is located a bit outside busy Rantepao surrounded by traditional Toraja-houses, in a quite (exept the chickens) and green evironement - beautiful! We would recommend the stay anytime.

    The homestay is located in the center of Rantepao. The host family is very nice and welcoming. The rooms are simple, but big and very clean. It's great value for money and the family will make your stay very pleasant. Daude is an experienced and highly recommended guide. We did a one day "cultural-tour" with him and it was a great experience. We saw and learned a lot about the Torajan culture.

    SARAH, the owner, is amazing. If you stay anywhere else in Rantepao you have dropped the ball. I real homestay and felt like party of the FAM. Especially, making dinner with CHEF Melissa. I got the Sambal recipe I have been looking for! There is a reason the Lonely Planet highlights the Castle for Toraja! Don’t stay anywhere else!!!!

    The family was very kind and Yansen was great guide. Yansen showed us all the interesting places around Rantepao and shared his personal knowledge and experiences about the culture which was super interesting. The food in homestay was the best food I have had in Indonesia. The location was peaceful and beautiful.

    The room is clean and the space is huge. The owner Mr Raub serves a delicious breakfast, especially that glass of juice,better then outside restaurants. Honestly, it's worth it then you paid. Like other Sulawesi people I have met, Mr Raub is a very helpful and friendly owner too.
