We could not have asked for a better time in Siladen. We ended up spending an extra night here because we loved it so much. Sarah, the fantastic host who makes you feel like you are a part of her family, helped us plan the rest of our trip around northern Sulawesi. She was filled with advice and recommendations, all...

A little charming cottage right on the beach, great surroundings, the reef at your doorstep, privacy, great food and truly welcoming staff... We really can't think of a place where this can still be found. All in all, this was a superb stopover during our three week holiday to Indonesia. Away from it all, nothing like the hustle and bustle... More

We have spent nine days at Bobocha Cottages last August. What makes it so special that guests recommend it so warmly ? Many reasons: The location on this tiny island: right onto the beach, with clean sand, facing the coral reef with superb snorkelling among corals and anemone of every kind with tropical fish galore and sometimes schools of dolphins...

Our family, which includes three boys in teens and early 20s, had an absolutely fabulous time at Bobocha. We have known Sarah, Paul and their 3 children for many years and finally in December 2011 we took the plunge and travelled from New Zealand to Manado and onto Bobocha. We spent 5 days exploring every coral reef around Siladen and... More

We stayed in this cosy little Cottage for 7 nights, which seemed to be to much for us when we first arrive on the small island. After seeing the reef and all the corals from the boat we arrived with and parked directly in front of the cottage we knew it will be great. This place has its own coral... More

Spent a week at Bobocha resort and thoroughly enjoyed it. The delicious food served under the beautiful tree in front of the resort, looking on to the crystal clear water is a treat.The snorkelling just in front of the resort is the best you can find on the little island of Siladen. The cottages are well done and comfortable. The... More

If you're looking for a small and quiet place, tasty fresh and healthy food, excellent snorkling right in front of your cabin and a lovely owner who cares about the environment and has perfect tips for exploring Minahasa, Bobocha is the place to be. We stayed a lot longer than we intended!

Siladen is the place if you want idyllic isolation. A small island you can walk around in an hour. Snorkelling just offshore is great, but don't expect internet reliability. Home cooked meals eaten al fresco looking out on the beach. Small place with simple facilities but adequate. New owner is onsite and always helpful. She comes from the area and... More

We had the most incredible holiday in a simple way-the-world-should-be paradise. It was like a private beach-house with a fantastic cook. Nothing is fresher for dinner than fish straight out of the sea... even more exciting when you have been beside the boat catching it, surrounded by dolphins. Our first breakfast with our toes in the sand we watched a... More
