Incredible place, beautiful coral and even better people! Lorenso and his team were accommodating, kind, and you truly f
The area of Lorensos cottage is beautiful. Built right on the beach, you walk through the mangroves about 10 metres and you’re right on a coral reef. A coral reef so alive that we all agreed it was the best snorkelling experience we’ve ever had. (We’ve travelled and snorkelled in a lot of places!)
Lorenso and his team were amazing. Lorenso is truly the man of Bunaken, and is so well connected to everyone on the island. We were able to snorkel and dive, seeing so many different species of fish, turtles and even eagle rays. Lorenso genuinely cares about his guests and is so accommodating, he loves to get to know you, hear about your travels and he’s also super open to answering about his way of life on the island of Bunaken. Also, the food was amazing, we had 3 big meals every day that were super filling.
Our flight out of Manado was cancelled last minute and it meant we needed to get a 5am flight, Lorenso was an absolute superstar and helped us get off the island in the middle of the night so we could make it to the airport- with just three hours notice he had his family/ friends taking us via boat to the mainland and then a driver at the other side to take us straight to the airport at 2am! Also, my friends and I have been doing travel journals, and Lorenso wrote each of us a note to put in our journals to keep- so thoughtful and just shows again how he’ll go above and beyond to make the experience great for his guests.
This experience really gave us everything. It gave us a glimpse into the life the locals have on the Island, beautiful location, incredible reefs, and even better people. We spent our evenings with Lorenso and his family & friends at a bar where they were all singing and playing instruments. Definitely a highlight moment of our 4 month backpacking trip.
We are so grateful to Lorenso, his team, his family and friends- we hope we can make it back again!

You will talk about it for days for sure ...
Great location, about 30 mins walk from the harbor, if you go further (towards north) on the road, you can access nice beaches.
The view on the mangrove is really nice and snorkeling spot is directly accessible on the property.
You will create memories and talk about it for days !
Even for years maybe !
It's never a pleasure to leave a bad comment but we think we should tell people about our experience there. We were 3 adults, staying in the budget room for 3 nights, which was in total 600 000 Rp/night full board. I have been living in Indonesia for about 2 years and traveled a lot around, on a budget, even before living here. The minimum you can expect in Indonesia (even for less than 100,000 Rp/person/night) is clean sheets, a comfortable mattress and good meals. We didn't get any of these things here! And the owner was well aware of this. We have seen a lot of comments saying accommodation is "basic" which is very fine for us. Unfortunately there is a difference between basic and bad. This was just bad. We had one 1 person "mosquito net" (full of holes and very very dirty) for the double bed and the one person bed didn't had one. The sheets were very dirty and full of dust. The mattress (you can't even call it a mattress anymore) was so worn out that you are sleeping on the bed base. We even found a wasp nest in the bed base. The food is really basic, lacking proteins and quantities. After going hungry the first night and the following breakfast and lunch, we had to double our meals by going to restaurants after each meal. On our last day, we gave up and just went to the restaurant to eat properly. There was always something and always an excuse about everything. (even the smallest stuff as "available coffee and hot water" was not ok! we had to request it, the owner "forgot to go to buy some" and brought back just a very small pack, not even enough to make coffee for all the guests. We had to request multiple times for drinking water as the gallon is not replaced when empty, ... ). It seems as though everything has been neglected and left to decay. Basic stuff could be done to improve the place but it doesn't seems that the owner is willing to do so, and that the motivation is still here.
La posizione ottima con davanti una delle barriere coralline più emozionanti che ho visitato; l’accoglienza estremamente famigliare;, Lorenso è una persona deliziosa e disponibile, risolve ogni problema e ti fa sentire a casa; penso che sia fin troppo economico rispetto al servizio che offre e soprattutto il paradiso naturale in cui si trova.

Si vous cherchez un logement Avec tout le confort moderne de chez vous, vous n'êtes pas au bon endroit. Si au contraire, vous cherchez à vivre une expérience Avec un personnage emblématique de Bunaken, vous êtes au bon endroit. Lorenso, originaire de Bunaken, a une grande partie de sa famille situé sur l'île.
Nous avons mangé la meilleure nourriture de tout notre séjour de 4 semaines à Bunaken, aussi bien en qualité, qu'en quantité, pour un prix on ne peut plus correct.
Au contraire des nombreux logements proche de l'embarcadère, le cottage de Lorenso se situe à 15minutes à pied, et permet de profiter pleinement de la nature environnante. Les chambres sont situés les pieds dans le sable, autour de grand arbre et cocotier. Il y a plein d'espace pour se poser à l'ombre d'un arbre, sur le sable, sur ses hamacs ou sa balançoire.
En face de vous se tiendra une mini mangrove (comme sur une grande partie des logements), qui donne sur un lagon et le le fameux tombant de 1000 mètres propre à Bunaken. Ici, à quelques mètres de chez Lorenso, vous pourrez rencontrer de nombreuses tortues, des bancs de poissons, et un variété de corail parmi les plus belles vues au Sulawesi.
Si vous vous intéressez à la culture et aux traditions de l'île, Lorenso se fera un plaisir de vous raconter cette histoire et l'évolution de l'île.
Si vous venez en speedboat ou private boat, celui ci pourra vous déposer en face de chez Lorenso (au contraire des autres logements) et si vous avez besoin de quoi que ce soit, demandez à Lorenso, il se fera un plaisir de vous aider : scooter, palmes, masques, informations sur l'ile, snorkelling tour, fisching tour, private boat ... Un coup de téléphone de sa part et c'est réglé.
Un de ses neveux tient un centre de plongée également et vous pourrez obtenir toutes les informations nécessaires via celui -ci.
Tout était parfait, pour ce prix là, on ne peut pas ne pas apprécier quelque chose.

Location for snorkelling was perfect by and Lorenso is genuinely a great bloke. Good for solo or on a budget. Food was good and plentiful. Three kids 7-11 had plenty to entertain themselves with on the beach.
Another comment stated “feels like you’re shipwrecked”. I would agree.
