Kurnia Homestay

"Stayed 11 nights at this homestay. Aty is the owner and was very welcoming. She went at the airport to takes me. She gaves me lots of informations to enjoy my visit. She ordered a motorbike at good price when needed. There are lots of cats. Lots. If your sense of smell is sensible, you may not like it. Breakfast are served at this accommodation and were varied. Miss some fruits but you can buy some already cut and the market for 10000 IDR! There are mosquitos that also comes for breakfast. Aty is spraying to keep them away but you better put repellant on your feet and ankle as well. My room was on second floor. Try to have one there. You have a nice view on Tidore's volcano. Room is rather large and the bathroom is nice with a good shower. No hot water but neither cold! A/C is a big issue. It can only refreshed the room when darkness arrived. So you must open the windows during day time to ventilate otherwise you will melt. Aty knows the problem. She gaves me a fan that save my stay. Mosquitos will come at night if you keep the windows open. Wifi is ok. Sometime the signal is weak. The homestay is about 15-20 minutes walking distance from Fort Oranje and market. 10-15 to reasonable restaurants. The are local mini-buses that can move you to different parts of the island. Otherwise, a motorbike will give you all the flexibility. Rent one and go to Tidore island! Cool! Went at Ternate for diving. The island is very remote. Unfortunately, little number of divers come here. So dive center offer limited services. Rarely boat dive unless you are a minimum of three participants. If not, it will be "shore diving," most of the time at the same sites. Too bad because there are lots of closed islands that proposed untouched marine's sites."
