Bahowo Lodge opened in the summer of 2003. It has been designed, built and is now run by an English couple, Phil and Paula.
Their philosophy is to offer a totally personal service, tailor – made to the wishes of their guests, by offering complete flexibility during their stay, in the tranquil environment of Bahowo Lodge.
The Lodge is only a 10 minute drive from Thalassa Dive centre (free, on demand transfers to and from Thalassa are provided). Bahowo Lodge is located within the Bunaken Marine Park, in the quiet fishing village of Bahowo which is 15 kilometers north of Manado City. 
The close proximity of Bahowo Lodge to the fantastic dive sites of Bunaken Park, the beautiful highland area of Minahassa, and the rainforest of Tangkoko make this the perfect location for exploring the unique underwater world and the surrounding natural beauty of North Sulawesi for divers and non – divers alike.
Come and experience first – hand the “real” Indonesia, whilst enjoying all the comforts and exclusive facilities of the Lodge, in its unique and beautiful setting.
The Lodge offers four comfortable double and twin rooms, and a spacious deluxe double room. There is also a large family room, which sleeps 4, and a suite of two adjoining rooms (1double, 1 twin) which is again ideal for a family or group of friends. All of the rooms have sea, mountain and/or garden view and are en – suite, with hot and cold shower, washbasin and WC, air – conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities and balcony/terrace.
The Lodge has two spacious, air – conditioned lounges, one which includes satellite TV, film and music facilities. There are indoor dining areas, but more usually meals and drinks are taken in one of a number of outdoor terraces and traditional open – air buildings, which are located within the extensive lush, tropical gardens. Also hidden in the garden you will find the private, secluded swimming pool with its own terrace and sun beds, shady seating areas, barbecue area and massage house. 
All meals at the Lodge are prepared on site by an excellent local cook, Sultje, who is gaining an international reputation for her superb Indonesian recipes. All produce is fresh from the market or garden, including locally caught fish from the fishermen of Bahowo, and all bread is baked fresh on the premises. European cuisine can also be provided if preferred, and the Lodge can easily cater for any special dietary preferences, such as vegetarian.
All of the staff at Bahowo Lodge, with Phil and Paula, are dedicated to providing a first – class personal service to their guests and to making their holiday truly memorable.
