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 your stay, in the tranquil environment of Bahowo Lodge.
Bahowo Lodge is located within the Bunaken Marine Park, in the quiet fishing village of Bahowo, 15 kilometers north of Manado.
The close proximity of Bahowo Lodge to the fantastic dive sites of Bunaken Park, the beautiful highland area of Minahasa, 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 at 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 with beautiful sea view and a spacious family room, which sleeps 4/5 people, overlooking our extensive gardens and the local mountains beyond. All of our rooms are en–suite, with shower, washbasin and WC, air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities and balcony.
It has a spacious, air-conditioned lounge, which includes film and music facilities (guests are welcome to bring their own CD’s), an indoor dining area and an outside terrace overlooking the sea. The Lodge is set in its own extensive, tropical garden which host a wide range of exotic plants and fruit trees.
Set hidden in the garden you’ll find a private swimming pool with its own terrace and sun beds, a seating area in the shade and massage facilities. There is a traditional coffee house and barbecue area close to the swimming pool all for the exclusive use by guests.
All meals at the Lodge are prepared on site by an excellent local cook, Sultje, using fresh produce from the garden, whenever possible, and locally caught fish. She bakes the Lodge’s own bread and cookies.
Sultje has gained a reputation for her wide variety of delicious Indonesian recipes. European cuisine can be provided as well, if preferred by the guests and the Lodge can cater for any special dietary preferences, such as vegetarian.
The other staff are; Nyoman, the housekeeper, Aris, the main driver, and Raymon, the gardener and sometimes driver. All of them, with Phil and Paula, are dedicated to providing a first class, personal service to their guests and make your holiday truly memorable.
