Welcome to our home on Bunaken Island. The property is new and beachfront in the main village on Bunaken Island. Opened June 2024. One Bedroom with private full bathroom or upstairs is a 3 bedroom with 2 bathrooms. There is one television in the living room so that you can access Netflix etc. Wifi is free and works well. There is an air conditioner in all bedrooms. Hot shower as well. Bottled drinking water is always free as well as black or green tea and coffee. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner is included in the rate. For breakfast you can choose from Eggs, Omelette or Pancakes with toast. Sliced fruits. Dinner will be two meat dishes with rice and vegetables (Indonesian style) Please let us know if you are vegetarian before you're arrival so that we can do our best to accommodate you. Laundry service is complimentary during your stay. Rooms will be serviced daily. Travel power adapters are in bedrooms.Complimentary bicycles and 2 seater kayaks for guests. Mosquito nets have been installed in all bedrooms. As for getting to Bunaken from Manado Harbour (Calaca), there are 3 public boats and the fare is 50,000 Rp one way. Public boats usually leave Manado at 2.00pm. Public boats depart Bunaken at 9am. No public boats run on Sundays.. If you are coming in on the Scoot flight from Singapore you won't have enough time to take the public boat. The other option is to take a car to Bahowo Harbour or Rap Rap (little longer drive to this harbour but shorter boat ride to Bunaken). If interested in this option, the car for up to 4 passengers from airport to Bahowo is 250,000. Private boat from Bahowo harbour to The White House is 250,000 up to 4 guests or 300,000 for 5 or 6 guests.Payments directly to driver of car or boat. Internet at the house is quite good. I have had no problems with it except for when the power goes off which usually happens every night but usually only for around 10 min total. Oh, and don't forget your reef shoes.
Happy to help you with your stay on Bunaken Island. From Bunaken and Melbourne, Australia
There are no cars on Bunaken. Walking or renting a scooter is the best way to get around.
