Highland Resort & Nature Tours

Back to nature with green views, hot water shower is very good, all staffs are very nice, easy access to go anywhere 'cause location in middle of the Minahasa.

The location is good, no aircon but it quite chilly at night and must bring the mosquito repellent. The wood dust keeps dropping to the bed, i wish there’s hair-dryer as the basic amenities.

Just loves staying at Highland Resort! Very nice and spacious bungalows in beautiful surroundings. Charlie and staff are extremely nice and helpful and all in all Highland Resort is an ideal base for exploring Minahasa area. Highly recommended!!

Pretty and very quiet resort, and we got a free room upgrade as our door lock didn't work. Staff were very helpful, and told us about a walk to a waterfall we could do ourselves straight from the resort. Rooms were large and had water, tea and coffee provided, and were good value for money. We booked a volcano tour with sunrise hike, which was expensive but a very good day out and our guide was good - helpful but not overbearing. Thought breakfast was included in the room price but it wasn't. Good for a one night stay in Tomohon to cover the sites of interest in this area.

Some good things: wifi that works very well in the room and on the veranda, drinking water left daily in the rooms in big jugs and then available at the reception anytime (so no plastic bottles), hot water always running, nice staff that was always trying to help, location was very nice - also for bird watching, when you're planning on trips early in the morning they prepare takeaway breakfast and tumblers with coffee/tea which stay hot for many hours. Also I liked the location which was further from the centre, but you can take a local minibus (angkot) and get there fast. Also great that they make scooters available for rent. Some drawbacks: the rooms are run down, they need some maintenance. Also, inside is a bit too dark so it's great there is a veranda to sit outside. The prices of the scooters are very steep but interestingly there are not many available scooters in Tomohon so that might be your last option. Also tour prices were way too steep - we ended up just contacting local guides directly instead of taking tours from the hotel. I really don't like it when the hotel is trying to make money unreasonably. Also food wasn't that good - simple mee goreng was just served plain, without any veggies or flavour, so it's better for you to actually make sure to fill up your belly in Tomohon :)

We had a lovely night at Highland Resort. The staff were super helpful and accommodating - we arrived quite early and they checked us in without any issues. It is very peaceful and sitting on the little terrace out the front of the cabin is quite lovely. It is away from the main road in a little valley so very peaceful and no noise. The rooms are fairly similar to other options of this type in the area - a little dark but with a comfortable bed and a nice hot shower. We were able to rent a scooter from the Resort to take us to the start of the Kali Falls short track from Kali village relatively nearby which was great, and the next day we hiked Lokon which was a real highlight. We had the food that they order in from a local restaurant - the Chinese options were decent and we were happy with the convenience to be able to be in bed early before our morning hike. Would stay again :)
