Homestays in Ternate

The room is clean, functional and everything is made for travelers or backpackers. You also have access to the kitchen, the fridge, coffee, tea and drinking water. The breakfast is simple but very good. However the best about this place is the host, Aty, who is very nice, very helpful and knows what travelers are looking for. She speaks very good English and also work at the tourism office.

As already stated by others, the villa is outside Ternate city center so you need a car or motorbike to go around. We did not feel confident to ride a bike or drive a car as the traffic was too hectic so we decided to purchase the tour around the island and the one to the island of Tidore offered by the hotel. We enjoyed both days. The ride from the airport is IDR150/200k. From the villa you can walk 15min downhill to the main road where there's a little Indomarket and some street food/warung. We had dinner at the hotel a couple of nights. Food was excellent. Also breakfast was good (nice to be outside in the garden). Our room (room D) had a wonderful view. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Room cleaning takes place every two days. In case you need to change money in Ternate you can go to Mandiri Bank the one on Jl. Nukila (they accept only 100USD bills). Avoid the money changer on Jl Kapitan Pattimura as it is a rip off.

Location was good next to a main harbour. The staff was helpful
