Holiday rentals with breakfast in North Sulawesi

I read many great reviews here in Airbnb before to book with Helmi and his family. It's usually a risk when you start with big expectations but definitely they surprised me even more. The guesthouse is clean and the room comfortable but the food..... the food guys is something you will never forget! I think his mother in law simply make the best bubur Manado in all Sulawesi, there where fish or chicken with plenty of veggies at every meal. impossible to leave hungry, maybe the opposite. I couldn't expect nothing more than this! I loved the stay with this great family.

As how it discribed, this place is in a quiet and close to nature place, unlike most other hotels/hostels in this price range in Indonesia, you will get a stunning view of mt lokon just outside the window, and no hustle and bustle of motorbikes from the main road. Newly Morden furnished with everything you need for a room for basic living requirements are there. As this is part of the hotel, you will get help from both Sharon and her co host and their hotel staff, the staff are very helpful and kind. The host Sharon is very responsive and always answer any questions you asked, her co cost is very attentive and caring, making sure our stay is nice and pleasant. Sharon shares her inside knowledge of Tomohon with me which is very helpful when you come here for the first time and don’t know where to start. And her co cost took us for a day out which is excellent and very thoughtful. Although the location is not in town center, there’s a Korean restaurant next door and small shops opposite if you feel like some pot noddles. Bukit Doa is very close to where we are (5 minuets walk), but we also walked to town and Mt Mahawu (which took us around 4 hrs, the last 20 mins walk is very narrow and slippery). If you don’t feel like walking, the hotel offers transport to town and daily private hire with a very reasonable price. As someone who is used to the quiet English countryside, I find this place is one of the best place I stayed in Indonesia (we only travelled in Kalimantan and Sulawesi). Sitting in the lounge listening to birds and immerse yourself in the greenery nature around you or just taking a stroll in the countryside road (road here is in very good condition), checking what crops/flowers people have been growing and see what the locals do for a living. Once again, I really appreciate what Sharon and her co cost did for us, making our stay in Tomohon one of our highlights during our travel. Book this room and you will find a different Tomohon as others will just crowded in town breathing in fume and listen to the motorbikes constantly. And this is not a paid advertisement.

Nice, quiet and cozy place to stay in Tomohon, the room is newly renovated, very clean and spacious. Bed is very comfortable, also has a table/desk and lamp as a working/reading and writing area. Host Sharon is very responsive and attentive, her co host is very approachable and caring. Also we had the help from the hotel staff as well. Hotel has private car hire with/without driver with a reasonable price, and driver speaks basic English and knows the area very well. If you like being in a quiet place, this one is perfect for you, it’s not in the town center where most noises generate from; and you can see the iconic Gurung Lokon from the lounge just outside. At night, no noise of motorbikes zooming by, only frogs and some random dog barks. Bukit Doa is within walking distance, town center is about 1.3 miles away, which is walkable, or you can ask the hotel staff to order a Grab for you, they are very helpful. Staff cleans the room everyday unless you told them otherwise. Plenty things to do in Tomohon and the surrounding area. Sharon and her co cost are happy to give you tips about this area, what to do and where to go. Overall, this is a very pleasant place to stay in Tomohon, very clean and comfortable, unlike other hotels we stayed, this one is outstandingly Morden. I recommend everyone who come to Tomohon stays here.

Helmi & Yoke are without doubt the best hosts you could ever wish for! This is my second stay with them and I wouldn’t choose anywhere else on the Island. They both go beyond to ensure you have everything you need and more. Their food is absolutely incredible, they soon learn your favourite dishes so that every meal is absolute perfection and their soup is out of this world.

We had a really nice stay, would definitely recommend it! We first booked one night in the treehouse, with was cozy and had an amazing view on mount Lokon. We liked the home, the host (family) and the location that much that we extended our stay with 2 more nights in the Rumah Ttorre Bedroom, with it's large windows and spacious room also very nice. The family was very inviting and took us on a trip to a pottery village. And are also willing to prepare for you a special meal with strange animals from the market of Tomohon: fruit mouse, snake,... Spicy, strange but really cool they did this for us.

Very nice stay in Tomohon. Felt welcome in the house and were treated so nicely! Nice places to eat nearby, and we walked into town no problem, or easy to catch a Grab. Fergie helped organise some transport for us as well as hints for other activities to do :) recommended!
