Ari Homestay

Candidasa


Run by ebullient Aussie expat Gary and his family, this dead-simple place has 12 rooms that range from cold-water with fans to air-con with hot water; a few have cooking facilities. Its position on the main road across from the water isn't ideal, but very cold beer is always available and there's a cheap and cheerful hot dog stand downstairs.
