Homestay Teluk Ketapang

It was a very clean well kept room with A/C and ceiling fan. Ensuite shower room and toilet. My only problem was that I booked my accommodation on the day of my stay after realising that I was going to miss my boat to redang. I got a taxi to the homestay believing it to be a hotel until I arrived. I exit the cab in a dark suburban residence with no sign of a hotel. I ask a local where is the homestay and he points at the sign and then a car drives past which he flags down. It was the manager of the homestay. He drives me a few blocks whilst asking some questions. .. when did you book? "Today" and why didnt you call? ... anyway, he says its no hassle as a family from belgium just moved out and so they would clean the sheets and room. We arrive at a quaint bungalow where a mother...plump warm lady with an infectious smile welcomes me and offers food and a drink whilst her daughter cleans my room for the night. Her son comes out as well and asks me what time I need the ferry in the morning so he can drive me there. I wake up to a choice of different local delights for breakfast. Then I jump in the car with the son and he drives me to the ferry where we arrive early and so he takes me to the local street market to walk around. He even negotiated for some sunglasses for me. This experience really opened up my mind to homestays, I would do it again in a heartbeat
