Cottages in Bunaken

Lorenso, the owner, truly shows what hospitality is all about. He’s friendly, welcoming, and always ready to offer very good advice. Thank you for making us feel like family! The place is cozy and full of charm, right in front of the best snorkeling spot on the island. Lorenso & CO’s warmth makes you feel at home. In addition, he showcases the Bunaken culture through his music every night at the Bunaken café. Overall a great traditional experience that I encourage to try out on this beautiful island 😊 Once again, thank you !

The White House reflects the aesthetics and values of its Australian owner, Amanda. It is lovingly built and decorated, providing comfort and a true generosity of spirit. In terms of accommodation, it consists of a spacious downstairs room with a veranda facing the sea and a three bedroom upstairs apartment suitable for families or groups of guests. There is a lovely open plan community area as well. Amanda ensures that you eat well at the White House, as the tariff includes three meals and bottomless cups of drinking water, coffee and tea. The meals themselves, prepared by a team of local women in the well appointed kitchen, are plentiful, varied and delicious. Amanda provides free use of snorkeling equipment and kayaks should you want to go for a paddle. She will also arrange transportation to and from Bunaken Island, as well as snorkeling or diving trips within the Marine Reserve. Her boatman, Peter, has a comfortable boat with shade shelter and a ladder to help get in and out during the trip. Finally, Amanda cares about the community of Bunaken. She has arranged and paid for vaccinations of the local dogs and organised medical treatment for her employees when needed.

The staff is amazing and the location on the island is perfect. you can just go in the sea and snorkel at the Reef wall where you can see turtles and beautiful coral!

The location is perfect, a little bit away from the village so it feels very peaceful and quiet, which is exactly what we were looking for. You can really relax here without any distractions. This place has everything you need: the rooms are clean, spacious, and very comfortable, with nice little touches that make you feel at home. The owner and the staff are absolutely wonderful, very friendly, caring, and always ready to help with anything you might need. They gave us great tips about activities around Bunaken and made sure our stay was smooth from start to finish. It really felt like being part of a family rather than just a guest at a resort. The restaurant is also a highlight. The food is delicious, freshly prepared, and you can really taste the love in every dish. We especially enjoyed trying the local meals, but even the simple dishes were cooked so well. Having good food after a day of snorkeling or diving made the whole experience even better. Overall, Villa Queen’s is a beautiful and welcoming place to stay in Bunaken. It combines comfort, warm hospitality, and great food with the perfect location for relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy Bunaken in a calm, cozy, and unforgettable way.
