+Serenity and hospitality What a wonderful surprise after hours of chaotic roads from Rantepao, arriving a little lost and tired in the middle of the rice fields. Walking the last few dozen metres and discovering this peaceful haven, nestled in such a beautiful natural setting, was a real delight. The house is particularly well designed and cared for, surrounded by a lush little garden. We immediately felt at home and decided right away to stay longer than we had originally planned. Our host is very attentive, always making sure we are comfortable, but also genuinely eager to help us organise our excursions and discover the area. The food, served on a mat, is delicious, and the family members we met were all extremely kind and welcoming. A special mention to Riswan, our host's cousin, who became our intermediary, guide and friend during our walks and hikes, making the whole experience truly unique. We loved discovering the immediate surroundings: the villages, the villagers, the paths and the everyday life of the area. One of the most memorable experiences of our trip!

+Serenity Homestay is a little paradise!! The view over the rice paddies is just breathtaking - the most beautiful we saw during our 4 week trip through Sulawesi. The hosts were charming and the food delicious. We adored walking and exploring the area which is very much off the beaten track! I really hope we will be able to come back again and stay for longer :-)

“Beautiful homestay with super friendly family.”
+We like everything about this place. Family is super friendly, location is amazing - surrounded by rice field, beautiful plants and mountain,. We had super delicious vegan food - Arruan cooks very well. What we also like a lot it is contact with the owner of this place - he responded super fast and he is very helpful. He booked for us shared taxi from Rantepao and another one from Mamasa to Makasar...by ourselves this could be complicated. 100% recommendable. Terimakasih.

“An oasis.”
+The trip to get here is totally worth it. Nested among rice paddies, excellent Wi-Fi, outstanding staff running the place (oma was a joy to interact with!) (also bring some bahasa knowledge for a deeper bond with them or improve the current one by teaching them English as well). There are a couple of wild hot springs around the area to explore and regarding food they will offer you the typical indonesian Nasi or mie + coffee / tea and if you bring some for from the market they’ll happily cooked it for you. MAMASA is wild, is there to be explored as little info is found on the web. You’ll not regret this one!

+We spent a relaxing and very enjoyable 18 days stay at Serenity Farm and Homestay. The true definition of 'Homestay'. We were very well received and felt like family. The house is very nice, the views from the terrace are very soothing, from the morning mists to the colourful sunset. Afternoon can be rainy but this brings an enjoyable cooler atmosphere. The food is excellent !!!!!!!! The surroundings offer many opportunities for visits (there are traditional Mamasa houses in every Kampung) or mountain hikes.

“Very good”
+Very amazing place u didn't expect i found this in the nowhere in Mamasa. Natural, fresh air, clean room, good hot water, good view everyday.
−Wé reached near the property, super bad road, no one know where is this and the property owner didn't answer us in time so wé looking around round but no one answer the call/text. Next time please be more responsif with the order, you don't know where your guest from. Lucky i'm Indonesian. Can't imagine some European lost in the nowhere.
