Frequently Asked Questions

How do we get to Novita Homestay, and what should we expect upon arrival?

We recommend flying into Manado (MDC) and arranging a transfer with Novita directly; it's the most seamless option. Upon arrival, you'll find a welcoming, unpretentious guesthouse, a true homestay experience rather than a resort, offering a genuine taste of local life near the sea.

What activities can we enjoy directly from Novita Homestay, especially regarding Taman Nasional Bunaken?

While Novita Homestay itself is a tranquil base, its primary draw is its excellent access to Taman Nasional Bunaken. We highly recommend arranging snorkeling or diving trips through your hosts; they have fantastic local connections for exploring Bunaken's vibrant coral reefs and diverse marine life.

What are the accommodations like at Novita Homestay, and what amenities can we expect?

The rooms at Novita Homestay are simple, clean, and comfortable, reflecting a true guesthouse experience rather than luxury. We appreciate the authentic, local feel, and while amenities are basic, you can expect a comfortable bed, a private bathroom, and often a fan to keep cool in the tropical climate.

When is the best time to visit Novita Homestay for optimal marine experiences in Bunaken?

We find the dry season, from April to October, offers the best conditions for exploring Bunaken's underwater wonders, with calmer seas and excellent visibility. This period is ideal for snorkeling and diving, allowing you to fully appreciate the sensational biodiversity of the marine park.

What kind of food can we expect at Novita Homestay, and how does it enhance the local experience?

We love the home-cooked Indonesian meals at Novita Homestay, often featuring fresh seafood caught locally and delicious regional specialties.
