Offering a garden and mountain view, Talaga Tomohon Home Stay and Fishing Pond is located in Tomohon, 26 km from Manado Harbor and 5.4 km from Mount Lokon. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 18 km from Christ Blessing. We spent one night in Tomohon and would definitely recommend staying with Riko and his family! The room is simple, but clean and comfortable. The view from the balcony overlooking the beautiful, well-kept garden and the volcano is fantastic. Since the house is located on a small side street, it’s also very quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, we only had one day to explore the area, but Riko went out of his way to make the most of our time there. He organized a private tour for us, and we got to visit a waterfall, hot springs, the volcano, and several other spots — it was a wonderful day. We would absolutely come back!

Helmi and his wife and family are so nice. there's even a tofu restaurant small business in the front of the homestay, very cute. it's on the beach which is great, easy to rent snorkel gear (about 50k/day) and a motorbike (also about 100k/day). right next door to Blueshark diving, Dion and Jeffrey and the crew here are awesome. The snorkeling is also nice right at the reef at the property, just swim like 50-100m out (takes 5 mins). Amazing sunsets. Room is simple. A bit hot in the mornings. There's free coffee/water/tea. Bathroom is simple, just 1 bathroom shared with 3 rooms. i hope to stay again!

Located within less than 1 km of Pangalisang Beach and a 14-minute walk of Manado Harbor, Three Ken Homestay & Cafe offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Manado. Set on the beachfront, this property features a bar. Mount Lokon is 27 km away and Christ Blessing is 8.6 km from the homestay. The family of the homestay are lovely and treat you like part of the family straight away. The food was excellent and plentiful. Not only did they cater to vegetarian and vegan diets easily, the food was delicious and a highlight of our stay. For the room, it was small but adequate with a queen size bed with a comfortable mattress. The bathroom was nice with a good pressure cool shower and flushing toilet. Aircon worked great.and was a nice treat. Ken's homestay was the place to be in the evening with live music being played by various talents from across the village. It's a fun and friendly vibe. Some nights are more lively than others which was a nice mix for us. If you are a light sleeper or go to bed early bring earplugs and it is fine. The mornings are nice and quiet and you can wake up to the sound of the waves. You can't even hear the church or the mosque! We went on two snorkelling tours and both were great ways to see other amazing snorkelling spots and we even visited the village on Manado Tua. Good value too. We extended our stay by two nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Terima kasih banyak!

I had some amazing dives, and the professional instructors made the experience even better. I also enjoyed making friends and having fun conversations with other guests at the bar. To top it off, the food at the restaurant was amazing. Both the local and international options were very delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Situated in Kolongan, 17 km from Manado Harbor and 36 km from Mount Lokon, Liontree Villa offers a garden and air conditioning. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 16 km from Ban Hin Kiong Temple. I love the little villa! Perfect little getaway house. Lovely pond outside. I realized that the location didn't really suit me, but Debora and Jeremy went all the way to help me out! There's not really any restaurants in the countryside neighborhood and Debora offered to cook more of their own dinner, which was lovely! 😍🙏 Over all I had a lovely stay!

Set within 1.1 km of Pangalisang Beach in Bunaken, Tiger fish homestay features accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. My homestay hostess Aci prepared wonderful meals that were well balanced and portions were plentiful. She spoke superb English and was instrumental in securing opportunities for snorkeling trips and all the necessary equipment which was my intended focus. The neighborhood where her homestay house is located provided a true Bunaken Island village experience. Bunaken Marine Park and boat access is right in the back yard as the property is on the water.

The atmosphere is calm, close to the pier and two diving schools. Communication in English is done through Stefen, who runs a nearby homestay. He is very friendly, like Mamalis and Papasem, whom you can talk to in Indonesian and through translation apps.
