WHAT THEY SAY
Must Visit- Best Place and People
"I took my parents here and we spent 2.5 days and 2 nights- not enough! I could've stayed forever. We came in the off season, so it was pretty quiet around the lodge and at the craters which was amazing! Pak Patris and Pak Pang took us around Ende and Moni, and we are endlessly grateful for their warmth and patience. This was a perfect way to be able to visit Moni and actually get to see it. Aside from danau tiga warna, we went to a small hot springs in the area, on a short hike to a waterfall and through the Friday morning market, we visited traditional housing, a local coffee plantation, and blue stone beach. Despite our many activities, nothing ever felt rushed or stressful and we had plenty of time to relax at the lodge too- which is a must, the views are incredible. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. Much thanks to Pak Patris and Pak Pang for taking us around and sharing their beautiful history and culture with us. And to the rest of the staff for being so friendly and helpful. I can't wait to come back and visit again! Sampai jumpa lagi. simo gemi"

Perfect spot
"Really beautiful spot overlooking the river and close to the crater lakes for a drive up in the morning. Dinner and breakfast were very good and staff were friendly and helpful. We left something in our room and the staff were so helpful that they caught up with us on our first stop of the day and dropped it to us. Way beyond what I would expect and we were very grateful. "
