    The location is the best one, in the village but not too close to roasters and the mosque. You really feel how is the life on Bunaken. Novita cares a lot, it helps feeling like home.

  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?

    Thankyou for the question, The perfect time to visit Our property and also Bunaken, normally is on June until August, because its a Summer season in Indonesia and also the perfect time for the weather, but We don't sure about that, because the Climate was change and was difficult to predict the weather, in the Summer Months there are also a lot of rain and also in Rainny Months there a Sunny Day. So, We don't sure about that, We hope when you come to Bunaken it will be a nice weather, but We will say June until August is the perfect time to holiday in Bunaken Kind regards, Novita Homestay
