The cheapest way to get to Hasanuddin airport when you travel solo is by a public bus called Damri. The cost is IDR 35.000/ person.

If you are staying near Fort Rotterdam or the harbor then you just need to walk to Societeit de Harmonie right in front of RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia) in Jalan Riburane. There is a bus stop next to Rabo Bank.

If you are staying near the waterfront then you can take taxi to RRI.

The Damri is only operating from 7 am untill 5 pm so if your flight is before or after that time, you might need to go for another options.


If your schedule doesn't suit the Damri schedule or you travel in a small group then we can provide a drop off to Sultan Hasanuddin airport for IDR 200.000 (including toll and parking). It takes around 30-45 minutes to get to Sultan Hasanuddin airport through the highway. Please check our services page for more info.

The cheapest way to get to downtown area is by a public bus called Damri. The cost is IDR 35.000/ person. From the arrival gate just go straight until you see the counter.

If your accomodation is not located on those roads, you may need to check your map again and find the closer bus stop to your accomodation. Then you can continue by walking (if it's in a walking distance) or by taxi. 

The first bus to the city centre is at 7 am and last bus to the city centre is at 6:30 pm so if your flight is  before or after that time, you might need to go for another options.

There are many places to stay and mostly near the main road (Jalan Kapongkolan), but if you want more quiet place and located in front of the beach then you should stay in Bara area. 
My recommendations are:

  • Riswan Guest House 
Located near the main road and only few minutes walking from Bira Beach. The rooms are simple but clean and have attached bathrooms. Riswan and his wife are really friendly.

  • Cosmos Bungalows 
Located right on Bara Beach. This place has 3 Bungalows for 2 people. Bungalow number one has the best view so it's a bit expensive than the rest. For a bigger group, you can book bungalow number 4, 5, 6, or 7.
